Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series).
ctsooner's reaction to his new Hurricanes was exactly the same as minewhen I started the burn-in process of these power cords. But you should hang on ctsooner because you have a bunch of those magic moments ahead of you. I just had a major improve...

Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1)
jimski,Thanks for your response. The Atlas amp is a great match for the 7s.Richard's amps are probably preferred, but the Atlas is right up thereat the top of the list. I upgraded the caps in the high pass filter ratherthan use the outboard. I was... 
Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1)
Question for jimski. I also have Vandersteen 7s and Aesthetix Atlas Eclipse mono blocks. What power cable do you use on the Model 7s? 
Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ?
Richard Vandersteen is an amazing manufacturer and business owner. Veerapaneni, If you just got the Model 7s your pair are probably better sounding than mine. I know for a fact that no matter how long a Vandersteen speaker has been in production R...

Those perfect piston drivers make the difference. Plus, the Vandys are phase aligned. Many speakers are taller and bigger than the Model 7s, but not better sounding. And for my money, that includes the Magicos as well. 
Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ?
I just thought I would also mention that the Atlas amps have a built in high pass filter. I was able to upgrade the caps to a very high grade and the improvement was significant. Some have mentioned cables. I use Audioquest Everest bi wired speake...

I Finally got my Atlas amps back from Aesthetix. They have the Eclipse upgrade . So far I have 45 hours on them and I can say without any hesitation that this is a major, major upgrade from the Atlas Signature. I am truly amazed at the difference.... 
Anyone Upgraded Aesthetix Atlas Mono Signature to Eclipse Version???
Looks like I'm pretty late with this, but yes I have made the upgrade to Eclipse. I have 45 hours on the amps so far. They require between 200-250 hour to break in according to Jim White. The difference between the Signature and Eclipse is amazing...

Basis Audio Super Arm 9
Hi there jwm. Just thought I would let you know that the Super Arm 9 is still amazing me every time I listen. I changed my cart from a Basis LP to a Lyra Etna and also upgraded my Aesthetix Signature amps to Atlas Eclipse monos. These changes have... 
Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ?
I had the 5As which I considered to be a breakthrough speaker especially for the price. Bought those from Bruce at Stereo Unlimited in Sand Diego. Bruce is a super dealer in every way. A few years later along comes the Model 7. Living in the LA ar... 
Tonearm Options for Basis 2800
Thanks Jwm. This is a family that knows how great a tonearm can be and how much it affects sound quality, in my opinion more than the TT. Friends of mine in LA/Orange County Audiophile Society are lined up to come check it out.
