Spectral DMC 30SS& DMA 250, need advice
Great! Happy listening! 
Whatever happened to Enid?
Tcscata,Thanks.The news makes me sad. All that was said about her here is true I think,(except for Kelly's tasteful remarks) but her passing is a loss. I at least will miss her. She was a remarkable person. 
Connecting XLR cables
Shadorne is right...it does, if the preconditions he has mentioned are met with. 
Spectral DMC 30SS& DMA 250, need advice
Keithr, please forgive me, but what would you expect them to say: "Yes please use a powercord from our competition". Do you really believe that? Whatever, this is powercords not interconnects and even there, I remember when the Spectral 360 monos ... 
Spectral DMC 30SS& DMA 250, need advice
Again - sorry gentlemen to partly disagree - Spectral also loves other cords. I've lived with Spectral for a long time, have used their cords and still have their power conditioning but have found that Spectral's love can be fickle, as far as powe... 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
Hi Nil,Agreed! 
Quad 57 or 63 with Gradients
Hi Duke, Hi Kubla,Yea, so am I ((: 
Quad 57 or 63 with Gradients
Depends how loudly you want to listen. You get better SPL with the 63s and the sweet sport is a tad larger compared to the 57s. But for absolute purity of sound in the midrange the 57 is hard to beat and the highs are wonderfully sweet. Not that t... 
Spectral DMC 30SS& DMA 250, need advice
I suggest you listen and then decide. Spectral is particular about interconnects, at least so they say, but from what I know, not with power cords. I had the same DMC 30 with the 360 monos and used other pcs with good effect. Cannnot recall which ... 
Do the Audio gods shine upon you?
2chnlben, you have hit the nail on the head threefold in fact:1. It is selfmedication if and when the audiogods shine.2.The auxiliar spirits you mention tend to deepen the beneficial effects.3. No moderation tends to drive the elves away, alas...... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
"aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......music"How right you are.........That's happiness. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Mtkhl567, don't worry about MrT. He has the compulsion to place what I call his mantra, whenever he thinks that the opportunity arises. Best to ignore it. Me, I'm still happy with my big Sound Labs. (:For me they are "best".All the same, I have to... 
Questions about Preamp Tubes
I am currently comparing two highly touted phono-preamps and to my ears it is exactly as Newbee has pointed out. There is the SS, which was raved about in all the mags, incredibly fast, delivering a mass of highly defined and detailed information,... 
Questions about Preamp Tubes
Peterb is right, although to clock 10000hours or over, you'll need premium types. The pres you mentioned are very well designed. They are anything but tube killers. In my opinion you need not worry but insist, should you buy, that the tubes are in... 
Ever demag a cart this way?
