Am I using the right speaker cables?
roberjeman,I don’t know if it’s a myth or not. In my experience, I can’t think of a component that I didn’t like from the beginning and months later decided that I did. I can think of several components that I initially liked and eventually decide...

andrei_nz,Good luck. No more advice from me.  
Do IC and Power Cables Really Make a Difference?
I submit "we" often make the mistake of one shoe fits all regarding audio components. I had the Alpha and Sigma power cords in my system and prefer the Audioquest Thunder power cord. Although I have Audioquest's Hurricane power cords, I directly c... 
Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3
jnovak,You are correct. Monitor Audio has been around a long time in the UK. Unfortunately, they don't put tons of money into marketing like some of the big boys do in the U.S. I've owned Wilson Audio, Aerial, Revel, and several more. Monitor Audi...

Sorry, I meant to type: no one can tell you what to prefer.  
Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3
Unfortunately, the MA are totally different than Magico. Please don’t let anyone tell you one is better than the other. It’s about preference and know one can tell you what to prefer. I often ask questions about different components on Audiogon, b... 
Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??
Yes. I don't think it's my place to discuss it, because I don't know all of the details. I just posted that he didn't have them anymore so members wouldn't feel the need to provide the OP recommendations for something he no longer has. 
Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??
The OP purchased Salon 2s and no longer has them. No, he didn't get Magico A3s.  
Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??
The OP sold his Revel Salon 2's. 
Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3
I submit your view point is important and relevant. In my opinion Audiogon is better served by having diverse opinions, but not when we talk at each other. It’s great to share our opinions based on what we have and our experiences. I think it conf... 
Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3
It’s more relevant than " having heard the original flagship MA Platinum speakers", because the OP asked about Monitor Audio Platinum IIs and they are voiced differently than the original Platinum series. I didn’t opine on the Monitor Audio PL300 ... 
Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3
Speakers are about personal preference. I own Monitor Audio PL500 IIs and have compared them to Magico S5 mk2. I still have the Monitor Audio PL500 IIs. You really need to listen, but remember the other components can drastically affect the overal... 
Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series).
No problem. I guess I'm crazy, but I might sell one Hurricane to get the Dragon source for my DAC.  
Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series).
The original Hurricanes had red in the outer jacket/sleeve. The latest hurricanes are solid blue. So, you have the latest version if the outer jacket/sleeve is blue. In addition, I stated the grip on both ends appears to be improved. I never state...
