Darkmoebius, which Mogami XLR? Thay have Microphone cable and interconnect cable. The Mic cable is about $20 more for each cable than the their IC cable. Can you or anyone else help with suggesting the right cable? Thanks! 
Best budget $300 Balanced IC Recommendation
Thanks to all who have responded. It looks like the Mogami IC's are worth a try. I find it interesting that more pro products are not discussed in these forums, no snake oil and at realistic prices. I mean come on, I have seen $8K IC's in these pa... 
Wadia Dock failed after iPod touch to V4.1
My solution to this was the Apple Store. I explained what happened, even though they had no clue what a Wadia dock was without explanation. At any rate, they exchanged my iPod with one that had V3.1.3, now it works perfectly. Mind you, my iPod was...

Dear Sebrof, my man cave is still intact and to be honest I like it that way, I do make a point to ask others in my home if they would like to join me and they decline stating the streaming audio in my AV system is just fine and in the center of t... 
Cardas Headphone Cord for Sennheiser HD600 Phones
I guess based on your feedback the cable is a good investment. Right now I'm using the Musical Fidelity V-Van headphone amp and it sounds quite good to me, pumping them up a notch with the Cardas and a supposed soon to be released improved power s...

Great point, Jeff. Sharing Hi-End sound with the family can be a enjoyable activity. I know here in my Man-Cave sometimes a family member comes down and takes pause, asking who the artist is and how good it sounds. I need to get my system out of t... 
CIAUDIO VDC-9.0 Powering Wadia 170I Transport
Neal, the best improvement I made to my system was hiring an electrician and installing an 20amp dedicated circuit and isolated ground, this was on the advice of a dealer and also reinforced by the electrician. I then removed my AC conditioner and... 
CIAUDIO VDC-9.0 Powering Wadia 170I Transport
Dear Neal, I cant speak for the analog outputs as they are no more than a pass-through from the IPod and defeats the whole purpose of the Wadia, bypassing the analog section so I never tried them. As far as the CIAUDIO 9VDC, yes, it produces an im...

Cambridge AZURE 840C Balanced vs. Single Ended
Topperstopper, thanks, I hope to receive more feedback. What cables are you using? Though I'm connected with the Kimber KS, a good IC in my opinion, I would not know where to start with a balanced IC. I read a review when the Cambridge first came ... 
Unecpected and not understood tweek - help?
Jea48,Yes, the source is a CDP and occasionally a Tuner. Regardless of my input source, primarily CDP, the positive affects of having the V-CAN connected can be heard. Mind you, it's not Earth Shattering, but it does calm down a bit the trademark ... 
Unecpected and not understood tweek - help?
Al, thanks. I guess potential flaws with the Krell tape-out and the impedance of IC's and V-CAN ended up as a good thing. In the end, I now have a headphone amp and a better sounding system to boot!Rpg 
Unecpected and not understood tweek - help?
Al, thanks. Yes, when listening through the speakers the sound is affected with the V-CAN connected to the tape-out. The V-CAN does not have a power switch and is on constantly. As far as the the Krell's impedance goes, I know the input is 47K but...
