Power Cable for PS Audio Stellar Phono Stage
glennewdick, from what I'm reading on the PS Audio site, they no longer manufacture power cables and only list Audioquest cables in their cables products section.  I was shocked.  Maybe I'm just not finding their own cable offerings?

Thanks Lak.  Is this a brand you've used with the PS Audio Stellar Phono?  What makes it especially suited to this application?  
Speaker for Line Magnetic LM 518IA in Large Room
Update now that I've moved into the new apartment:It became clear I needed to get in the new space before I could pick a new speaker.  I've also listened to the Devore Orangutans and they're not for me, both their sound and their size.  I really n... 
Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K
RIAA thanks very much for that link!  It really is a useful comparison, and one that cements my notion that I need to bring my own LM 518 to audition my next pair of speakers rather than relying only on the LM 805 as proxy for my amp.   
Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K
I'm chiming in late on this topic.  Curious if OP or others on this thread can opine as to the power characteristics of this amp compared to my LM 518ia, which is an earlier LM integrated producing 22wpc from a pair of 845s.  I'm wondering if in t... 
Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice
I spent an afternoon listening to my amp with the O96 at In Living Stereo (where I buy a lot of my gear) and while I enjoyed the experience, i didn’t walk away loving them so much. It’s all moot with those speakers because my listening room at the... 
Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice
Jdoris, that’s some pretty solid reasoning, although it’s scary to think these are the things we require to sleep well at night.FYI I’m already stepping my speakers up several levels because my little Merlin monitors won’t be able to fill the 28’ ... 
Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice
In NYC vinyl jacketed cable is not up to code. The JPS Labs wire I selectedwould have to be in a conduit. The electrician has already wired with armored BX cable but can still replace with the JPS. It’s a 70 foot run, so would cost $2100. The Syne... 
Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice
Thanks very much Millercarbon for your thoughtful and detailed response.  I now understand I'll have both outlets on one circuit.  One clarification-- does plugging in different components to different outlets on the same circuit create ground loo... 
Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice
Thanks very much for the responses.  Miller, your system looks mighty fine and you've obviously put a lot of thought into your power needs.  I'd love to pick your brain further.1.  Will definitely advise the electrician to use 10ga if he hasn't al... 
Standmount speakers with Line Magnetic 518 SET amp?
My Merlin TSM monitors have never sounded better than when powered by the LM 518IA 
Please help me eliminate the hum my digital rig creates
We had the modem replaced today and every other component remained the same plugged into the same place and the hum is completely gone. It was just a faulty modem that began to generate hum when it went bad. In response to Jea, I live in Manhattan... 
Please help me eliminate the hum my digital rig creates
Thanks very much for your responses. Everything was plugged into the same outlet-- the integrated into one receptacle and the power conditioner plugged into the other. The DAC's PC is a Revelation Audio Labs Precept 2, which is designed for source... 
Dynavector XX2 MKII? Your thoughts of it?
Since I don't keep a timer on while I'm listening, does anyone have a ballpark estimate of how many years it takes to hit 1,000 hours on a stylus?   
Anyone tried Auditorium 23 speaker cables ?
I'm another happy owner of the LM 518IA who uses the Auditorium 23 speaker cables.  I had been using Audience Au24 speaker cables and replaced with these because I needed a longer run.  I liked the Audience a lot but like the Auditoriums better.  ...
