best phono stage to mate with a London Decca Super Gold cart?
Hi  bdp24 , i was curious regarding the below in your post For the best performance from the Super Gold, you want to load the cartridge at 15k to 22k resistance, and 220pF of capacitance. How can this be done for MM Phonos which i believe are i...

Daiwok is a really reliable guy and an audiophile himself, i did get one from him and can vouch for that...via Lencoheaven 
Ocellia vs Tannoy?
I use Tannoy K'tons in a 11x14 room. it works well, but feel they would breathe a little easier in a larger room since I do prefer them away from the rear walls in order to get better depth . Despite that they sound very good as you really connect... 
Add a pair of 2wq's to my Vandersteen 3A Sigs?
Steve, Regarding this lack of punch, is this because of some changes you have made in equipment OR due to any acoustics ? Also Would you know as to which frequency range this is in ? As am sure you know the "Punch" exists right from 100 Hz and bel... 
Do you run a high end power cord on your sub?

tubes for leben cs600
the "original" in my case was Sovtek 6L6GC and any new tube was better !With the KT-77 i would think your sound will be good and that unless you hear different ones , not be able to evaluate any different tubes.Yes with the KT120 you cannot put th... 
Tannoy Speakers & Bi-wiring
Tannoy prestige internal wiring is a combination of Oyaide (OHNO) and high purity silver for the crossoversI would think getting the default jumper cables from Tannoy (i believe Oyaide) would be ideal.I would love to try out a Biwire some day..but... 
tubes for leben cs600
EL34 and 6l6GCs have pretty different sound signatures so it will be different as EL34 have a lot more warmer lusher sound (Generalising) and 6L6GCs much more bolder and wider across the range (Again Generalising)for the price the Russian 6l6GC re... 
Tannoy Speaker Cable Synergy
I believe the olde prestige models were VDH..since 2007 they are all Oyaide and High purity Silver wiring 
Speaker Cable Suggestion for Tannoy Speakers
My suggestion is to look for Single Core cables for tannoys especially if you are running them with Tube amps.I use ASI Livelines and love them..they made such a difference that i went for their ICs as well.I believe the internal wiring is all Oya... 
Is mp3 320 mbps good enough for your ears?
Ill second Lgoler. try hearing numbers with lots of High frequency before you decide. Cymbals/triangles..thats where i find the maximum differences in resolution 320 Vs lossless is very dependent on the overall (HF) resolution of the system 
Tannoy Kensington SE vs Magnepan 20.7
With the Maggies you need High power and once you do that they will perform at a fantastic level but the cost of amplification is something you really need to factor.The K's work with much lower power/cost amplifiers . So as said above, depends on... 
Turntables and power conditioners?
I use a lenco and hence an AC motor. I have found the only factor impacting sound is the frequency of the power supply.-being a heavy platter idler design impact due to power quality is not much and something i could not really discernI use a rege... 
Behringer DEQ2496 as EQ Only?
sorry I meant the DEQ2496.I did use it as an EQ only but had to use Optical cables into and out to connect my transport to the DAC. to me the resolution really dropped and preferred direct in without EQ .But then getting the EQ right on a 2496 is ...
