When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Mapman, make-up has changed, but more importantly digital filtering has changed more.

Oh boy...a metaphorical hamster wheel for audiophiles...Whee-hee!!

I wish I could delete my post. I didn't want to contribute to this circular argument. 
Best remote with preamp
Second the ARC Ref3. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
The irony of HDTV is that much of the programming content is "dumbed" down or softened for HDTV. All filmed programs/movies are already "softened" simply as a result of being shot on film: film being analogous to music recorded on analog equipment... 
Best things 'in life'
I considered that at one time. Not an easy task to market hot sauces.Anyway, this isn't intended as an advertisement, but everyone loves the sauce...and it's excellent on rice, ham, in chili, and many other foods in addition to chicken wings.Certa...

Chicken wings made with my "Wing City Gourmet Buffalo Hot Wing Sauce".Makes your brains fall out they're so good...At present, I custom bottle the sauce only as gifts for friends.:) 
VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3?
Babybear, I thanks for the suggestion. I was aware of that.

VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3?
Thanks.Specifically, I was wondering which inputs are used by owners who own unbalanced (single ended) sources.Do you use unbalanced sources, Oneobgyn. 
VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3?
A couple of questions for ARC Ref3 owners.First, are you using single ended sources with the preamp's single ended or balanced inputs, and if your answer is balanced have you compared using RCA>XLR adapters versus RCA>XLR interconnects?Secon... 
Holographic imaging
My system has had the most three dimensional image in two configurations. The first was with a VAC Phi 110/110 amp and a Lamm LL2 Deluxe preamp. The second was with a Supratek Cortese preamp and Belles 150A Reference monoblocks.In both cases, the ... 
Suggestions for "balanced" interconnects?
Foster_9's Mogami suggestion is excellent.Also, Gregg Straley's Reality Cable XLR interconnects are excellent, and they cost $275 for a 3 foot pair. I compared the Reality Cable interconnects to $1400 Purist Audio interconnects, and the difference...
