| Power Cables Not necessarily. I’ve has great results with mixing Wywires w/Kimbers and use a Nordost on my CDP. I have moved my Kimbers out, not because they don’t sound wonderful but because I felt my system was getting too laid back and the Wywires brought b... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under Aerial Acoustics 10tNHT 3.3B&W 801Used B&W 800 D3... this speaker can dance. Not sure used what they’re going for so might still be outside your budget. | |
| Cambridge Audio 851N Music player/DAC If the DAC is the same as the 851C which I own it’s very good. My 851C took sometime to really burn in so I wouldn’t judge one on a dealers floor unless they can tell you it has a lot of hours on it. Throw really good cables on it and for the mone... | |

| First Foray into XLR Clear Day Cables balanced IC are very good for the money. They compete very well with cables 2-3X their price. I don’t recall what I paid but I think they’re around $380 for a 1M pair. Good luck finding them used. | |
| Aerial 10T's in the house... Have your friend give you a good deal on a nice power cord for your new A21. Kimber PK10 Ascent or a previous Gold version sound great on the Parasound amps without breaking the bank. If you don’t have a dedicated circuit to your equipment that wi... | |
| Aerial 10T's in the house... Had a Audio Research 100.2 which is a fine SS amp but when I picked up a pair of Aerial 7Bs the 100 watt ARC just couldn’t do it. Went to a Pass X250 and works great. Takes a big amp to wake up Aerial’s. I don’t think 200 watts is really enough; 2... | |
| When making DIY power cable for an amp, do you: In my experience cables without a shield can be more open. Clear Day Cables I believe have no shield on their IC’s and I’ve never had an issue with them picking up EM/RFI - they sound pretty darn good. I have several Kimber Kable PC’s that I belie... | |

| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? If you want to try streaming look for a used Cambridge 851N. You’re going to need to figure a little extra for a good digital cable and maybe a couple nice digital power cables to get the best out of your transport and the 851N so the cost just ke... | |
| Fuses on Magnepan .7 speackers My experience most Audio Stores don’t push tweaks too much or have a lot of experience with them, so good luck there. I’ve also found many manufacturers haven’t tried them or feel they didn’t make a difference but I found on my gear they did; I th... | |

| Solid core XLR interconnect recommendation (up to 300$ for a used 8ft pair) ? Build your own three strand braid like Kimber.I’ve used this cable making my own braid and it sounds wonderful. Trick is not to braid too tight and keep consistent. Below is from Percy’s site.http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdfMichael Percy Audi... | |
| Upgrading from Integrated Amp to Separates What SS gear have you owned? If you haven’t listened to Pass or Modwright you might be surprised. | |
