Speaker Cable Lengths - W/ Monos
Eldon & RCprince:Excellent points!! They led me to contacting Tara (I should have done this in the first place).To clarify, my intent, I was actually simply trying to determine whether or not I would ever need more than 4.5 feet of cable lengt... 
Low level Tuner Signal Bleed Through?
Thanks Guys. I spoke with Magnum Dynalab today, and sure enough, they believe there is a problem. They did state that there should not be any out put with the unit off, and in fact performed a test on one of their own units while I was on the phon... 
Speaker Cable Lengths - W/ Monos
Thanks for the responses. Sounds like chopping the cables into two sets is ultimately the way to go, although, perhaps not right now.The cables are Tara "The Ones" 
IS TARA LAB "THE ONE"?
These are outstanding cables for what you're trying to accomplish. I don't believe you can get any more neutral, clear, accurate, and open. I use "The One" for all ICs and one set of my bi-wire speakers. The second bi-wire set is "The Two" (Soon t...

New Tara Lab The ONE
Even as an avid Tara fan, I have a hard time keeping up with the variations on these cables. I use several "The One" ICs, as well as speaker cables. Outstanding cables!To clarify, the original "The One" came with a separate "chasis ground station"... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
The original $40K B&W Nautilus w/ 8 ML33H Monos. I haven't heard any speakers more expensive than these, however, to date I put this setup above the Wilson Max's, and Avalon Eidions, both of which I thoroughly enjoy. Simply amazing! (Of course... 
pass x350 vs. plinius sa 250mk4.
Tough Call! I ultimately narrowed my own search to these same amps. The Pass finaly won out, but mostly due to non-sound related issues. Pass (Built in States and very accessible), Balanced design working extremely well with balanced Line stage (A...
