Congrats to all 4 winners! :)

The ASW Genius 300s arrived safe and sound, in a beautiful mahogany finish!:)

First impressions: suprisingly efficient, detailed and fast. I'll give them some time to break in before providing a...

From my response to Suave's thread on tube component appearance, I thought it might be fun to hear which components people have most regretted selling. You know, the ones you really feel stupid for...

The Woo amp is, indeed, very nice! Never seen those before.

As I've already mentioned, I love the look of the early Sonic Frontiers SF series of amplifiers with the angled, gold face-plate and...

Thanks for the insight and the link, windchaser. I'll check it out when I have more time (I am soooooooo sick of being stuck with dial-up!).

It's always great when someone else hears the difference too. Especially when its your significant other so you can justify the expense!;)

I haven't played around with power cable upgrades yet,...

If you don't mind, what brand/model are these? What do you hear that is different from copper? Thanks.

Ooooooo, nice! What make of stand is that you have the VPI and McIntosh gear on?

Thanks for Nelson Pass link, windchaser - he's a brilliant guy.

The silver wire phenomenon is really interesting. It would appear that the only advantage of silver wire is a slight increase in...

Dredging up a thread here, but I think that anyone who has made serious cable comparisons can verify that they do make a difference. And why not? All cables have inductance, resistance and...

Generally, then, it appears that silver or brushed aluminum are the preferred chassis types at this time ... oh, and McIntosh.

Right on. I've never "liked" anything before, but here goes .... Done and done!

Oh, man. I "done" too early. :o Does one unlike and like again, or how does that work?

I have a 42" Samsung plasma that is 720p and, for sure, blu-ray is sharper than upconverted DVD using an Oppo BDP-83.

Interesting speakers.

How did they sound to you, Gio?

Indeed, EMI from the transformers can affect signals, especially the small input signal, which is why high-end preamps often house the power supply in a separate chassis.

Even though I don't own...

I pretty much agree with everything AlienTech noted. I'm not familiar with the Arcam gear, but it should be a step in the right direction as long as you run good interconnects. You could even play...

Enjoyed the review, Suave. Good stuff.

Did you try them with any amplifiers besides the Classe? Tube gear, perhaps?

Thanks, Suave. Umm, I don't think black would go over very well (unless accompanied by Ferrari red horns like those in the Acapella series of speakers that Tri-Cell also distributes ... my wife...

This just keeps getting better.:)

In order, my preferences are:

1) Walnut
2) Cherry
3) Rustic oak.

Thanks, Suave.

Cool! They make quite a range of funky cables with top-quality components.
