| Asylum Powercord. Has anyone tried this power cord I read on another thread that you did not want a bright PC. If you could DIY, buy some decent copper (not silver plated) cordage such as DH Labs, Supra, Neotech, or CryoMax, and terminate it with some solid copper ends. You can pickup some inexpen... | |

| tube pre amp plus solid state power amps? I use a Modwright 9.0 SE Signature Truth on my Son of Ampzilla 2000. It sounds very nice. Fairly "tubey" in terms of harmonics and soundstaging, yet still very dynamic and detailed. | |
| Isoclean 106 II Power Bar Since this unit appears to be a basic power strip without capacitive filtering, I'd suspect that the biggest difference you are hearing relates to the type of outlets. The Isoclean uses gold plated outlets. In my experience, gold as a plating on A... | |
| greater resolution as an end in itself ?? In general, I'd tend to agree. However, I recently made some changes to my system that gave me more resolution while also increasing the body of the tone, and a little bit of extra warmth to boot. The result is increased resolution and musicality ... | |
| Upgrade from Kimber D60? You might want to consider a Pure Note Alluvion. It's very transparent and airy, yet not thin or glary. Very good dynamics and bass, too. I rolled a number of digital cables and it's my favorite. They're having a nice sale on them right now. | |
| Kimber Select IC's I'd suggest trying a Discovery Signature. A very underrated cable, IMO. Give Joe DePhillips a call. | |

| Benefit of a DAC for a good red book cd player I would suggest holding off a bit as commercial units are just starting to appear that use the Sabre32 DAC. This DAC, properly implemented, could be a big step up in DAC performance. The Wyred 4 Sound DAC will be out soon. It features optional hi-... | |
| What's a good power cord for conrad-johnson CT5? Well, I do not have experience with thoses cords or components. However, I would suggest you consider a Kaplan Cable. Very smooth, clean, and clear, with great bass. Not edgy at all, with excellent soundstaging. You should be able to arrange an au... | |
| OPPO 83SE vs Anthem D1 DACS Bob, I mostly listen to music and not movie soundtracks. Nor do I listen to multi-channel SACD. I appreciate where you're coming from, but I've found many HT preamps are too much of a compromise for me. In general, IMO, a $3K stereo preamp will ty... | |
| Power Strip Question - PLEASE HELP Jferreir, there are basically two surge control technologies - MOV and non-MOV. You can read up on the methods on the Brickwall or SurgeX web sites. Some claim that MOVs will degrade the sound. MOVs are used in many power control units like those ... | |
| Power Strip Question - PLEASE HELP Oh, I forgot to add that the Brickwall surge protector is fairly sonically neutral. I did snip off the captive brass power plug and replaced it with a better plug. This resulted in a little bit better sonics. | |
| Power Strip Question - PLEASE HELP Jferreir, don't sweat it too much. Try a couple of power strips and see if you get too much noise, or not.I'm in a similar situation and use a Brickwall surge protector that feeds two power strips. One power strip is a BPT, and is used for my audi... | |
| Best place in the system for a good PC? FWIW, I agree with Blindjim's comments. I once had some Zu Boks. They were just ok. However, the Kaplan cables I use are a significant step up. If you're concerned about costs, some companies offer a free trial, and there's always the Cable Compan... |
