Audience Au24 SX cables
The AU24 SX are the real deal. Simply the best cable Audience has produced, period. Both TAS and now Enjoy The Music have concurred. If you have to choose locations for your these cables, use the AU24 SX on your source connections first.I would al... 
Class D Ncore Atsah in the house
Nice post Mitch2. Thanks for taking the time to review the Atsahs. 
Akiko Audio Tuning Sticks
The Tuning Sticks are very system dependent. I didn't like them at all on my interconnects and power cords (Onda Rapture)as they seemed to shift the tonal balance. I liked the AC tuning stick plugged in to a vacant outlet on my power conditioner. ... 
Vivid Audio ???
If you are seriously considering them as a speaker, you may be able to obtain an audition with the US distributor. Otherwise, I believe they will probably be at this year's RMAF, and next year's CES. I first heard the Vivid lineup with the B1, and... 
So Many Choices - PCords for Digital Sources?
Do some research, narrow your choices down to 3 or 4 cables, then find dealers who will loan them to you for an audition. That is the ONLY way to know for sure. 
Synergistic Research Tesla Apex vs. Tara the One
Why not audition both and decide for yourself? 
Power Conditioners
Shellie nailed it. You have to try power conditioners in your own system in order to determine the best match. Find the products you want to demo, narrow it down to 3 or so, then find a dealer or dealers who will loan them to you for an audition.O... 
best power cord for digital switching amp
You probably want something with a warmer sonic signature. Most digital amps are a little on the cool side. A Synergistic Hologram A or D might do nicely. The Bybee Supercord is a proven winner with digital. If you are on a budget, the Kaplan H.E.... 
PC Recommendation for Furman Conditioner
Someone had emailed me asking what cables I used and in what places I had used them. Here they are.I have a modified Slm devices Transporter, a Modwright 36.5 preamp, and a Levinson No. 35 amp. The interconnects were Syngergistic Apex from the sou... 
Bybee conditioner question
I am a dealer for the Bybee conditioner, the audience conditioners, and a few others. I have the AR6T and the Bybee conditioner available for an audition. If you want my opinion of them, you may email me privately. 
AC Power 101
I don't believe in naturally clean power. Unless you are running a windmill or solar panels and are completely off the grid. Even then, the appliances in your home, RF from cell phones, wireless networks, etc. is polluting your power from within y... 
Recommendation for small footprint Center channel?
Why do you need a center? If your L-R speakers can generate a decent center image, you might be able to get away without one. Most AV processors have a "phantom" center setting. I have to say I am mostly a two channel guy, so my bias might allow m... 
Synergistic Research Acoustic ART- any comments?
I heard the ART while visiting Synergistic. You can read about my experience here(towards the bottom of the page, paragraph title is WTF?!). In addition, my wife, a non-audiophile, easily heard the difference with ART in vs. out. One of my custome... 
Best high end monitors?
Might as well throw my hat into the ring. Vivid audio are among the best monitors and speakers I have heard at any price. I was lucky enough to have the B-1's in my showroom thanks to Philip O'hanlon of On a Higher note. Brief history. One former ... 
The Next Upgrade is What?
You need to replace the cable connecting your source to your preamp. That will make the most difference, and is definitely in need of changing.
