Speaker Cables for Gallo Ref 3.1
I have a set of his older cable on my home theater system. maybe i'll pull them tomorrow and give them a run. thanks. 
Cable Synergy???
I don't know that I necessarily feel I 'need' to change anything. I have also invested a lot in my equipment, but have not really thought about my cables that much. There is a part of it that feels kind of technical and the more logical side of me... 
Sound Hi Fi Technics Jelco/SME arm upgrades
I have been living with my SME 309 and external power supply for the last two months, and I am unbelievably happy. It took me a little time and a little help from some friends to get all of it 'right', but that was a lot easier than I feared. Setu... 
Upgrading from NAD 320 BEE?
I have to say that I love that so many of us have such great memories and/or experiences with NAD gear. I ran a pre (104?) and power (204?) amp combo as my first 'hifi' gear starting 16 or so years ago. Great, great equipment that is just plain ha... 
Good amp for 110 sq. ft. room / PSB alpha monitors
I have used both a Creek (the 5350) and NAD amps (104 + 204, if memory serves correctly) with PSB speakers (Alpha Mini, Stratus Bronze). Both are GREAT matches with PSB gear. IMO, you have to spend a lot more to beat either of those combinations. 
Cary 120s
Vlentudia: Your PrimaLuna Prologue 3 and Cary marriage was a bad one? Can you speak a little to that? I have been running my 3 with Wyred4Sound monoblocks but on the market for a tube power amp... 
SET amp for Gallo ref 3.1
I have been on a general tube quest for my Gallos as well. I currently run a PrimaLuna Prologue 3 as a preamp and Wyred4Sound monoblocks along with the Gallo Ref SA. I had a Prologue 5 tube power amp for a while but it just did not seem to have th... 
Vibrapod Isolators and Cones
tpreaves: i have a feeling that they helped 'correct' a specific issue for me. i basically had the power amps sitting on a brick shelf in front of the fireplace behind and between the speakers. my gut is that the vibrapods are helping most there w... 
Ipod + Wadia 170i Dock OR AppleTV + Airport Expres
George: Are you going to put the external drives in the same room as your system or have them accessed via a wireless network? Do you have a monitor in your listening room? Thanks,-t 
Ipod + Wadia 170i Dock OR AppleTV + Airport Expres
Here is the other thing that kind of makes the Wadia option attractive: I rip a lot of music onto my Mac at work. Having the option to bring different iPods from different places is also attractive. 
Ipod + Wadia 170i Dock OR AppleTV + Airport Expres
Do folks who use the AppleTV route have one big enough to store most of the music on or do they stream to the AppleTV from another Mac? Is there an advantage going via an AppleTV over going directly from the Airport Express into the DAC? 
Sound Hi Fi Technics Jelco/SME arm upgrades
That Tone Audio got me to place an order with Sound HiFi. I'm expecting the SME arm and PSU in the next few weeks. I'll let you know what I think. 
Turntable in $155-2500 range
Johnnyb53:I always appreciate your insights. I have spent a lot of time with my 1200 over the last 48 hours (Grant Green, Idle Moments, right now), and it is pretty solid. A few questions: 1: How big of an impact is the external PSU? ...and which ... 
Turntable in $155-2500 range
Michael: I really like my Technics and intend to keep it (and probably pass it along to my kids, once they are older). I turned 40 this year and have been thinking about stepping into another turntable for a while and thought that it would be a ni...
