| KLE Innovations Silver HarmonyRCA's - not silver eh? @maxima95 - I stand corrected... It was advertised as KLEI PureSilver™ I have to agree - most people reading that might "assume" they were solid silver, simply because they do not understand the significance of the (TM) symbolThe TM applies to th... | |
| KLE Innovations Silver HarmonyRCA's - not silver eh? I believe the RCA's were advertised as PurSilver(TM) - which is just a trade-marked name.Since then KLEI has removed all reference to p[ure silverIt does not alter the fact the Harmony range of plugs are the best on the market right now. They offe... | |
| It is not about cable quality anymore, it is about the sheer number of them! @erik_squires - I know where you are coming from :-)I had a HT surround system and found it too complexWe have just moved, so I took the opportunity to check out a different approach.I ended up with...- VMedia TV Box for streaming TV content, Net... | |

| DIY Power cables: quality wire? I have not tried any of the Cardas cables.For epaker cables and IC's I have tried Van den Hul. They are pretty good and very nidely made.About the same quality as Furutech | |
| DIY Power cables: quality wire? I’ve trierd two furutech bulk cables and preferred the bulk cables from DH Labs - mainly because they are 1/3rd the price and the difference between them musically is subtleDH Labs are built for home audio environments - low EMI/RFI and no liquids... | |
| What is the most important component in your system. My cables !!! - without them nothing would work :-)Seriously - my cables are still the most important component.- they allow the components to work as designed- extract EVERY ounce of performance from each component- they are responsible for the s... | |
| Phono stage inquiry I only hear a little hiss on my Simaudio Moon LP5.3 RS when the volume is at the max.That doesn't mean you phono has an issue - all phono stages are different.Have you tried this with JUST the phono stage connected?- i.e. assuming you have other c... | |

| How do you think this AC power will be? @todd1010 - My experience has been that 12 gauge is large enough for lower power components - DAC's Streamers.I tried a 10 gauge on my DAC and it proved to be no more effective than the 12/13 gauge cables I had.I have a 12/13 gauge cable on my ... | |

| Power Cables @dmance... I think we just don’t know enough about electricity Interestingly - I believe you are not wrong.I spoke with an "electronics technician" that repaired a friends solid state amp which "self destructed" due to the speaker cables he had... | |
| Power Cables @wmarkhall - as stated in my first post - components with large, well designed cords do not show as much in the way of improvements, compared to those components with smaller power supplies, such as source components.WRT ... explain to us how thi... |
