Recomendations Please

I've never personally compared the Shunyata pc's with the AQ's power cords. Reviews would suggest they're not as good as Shunyata's line but one's own ear is always the best judge. I personally think you'll get more bang for your buck by upgrading power cords and conditioning. I own $1200 interconnects and $2000 speaker wire...and as good as they are..I don't think they compare to the buzz resulting from a power cord/conditioning upgrade. Of course, your mileage may vary.

The best thing to do is get a dealer to let you take something home for an audition. Or better yet, hook up with an audiophile circle where you live. Check out audiocircle.com.

The 7308s will work fine electrically. The most likely overt change will be improved frequency extension, punchier bass possibly but I doubt thunderous bass, typically better clarity, definition, air and greater transparency on the top. It all depends on the tube you buy. Be forewarned there are alot of rebranded, counterfeit and junky 1980s vintage ECG type 7308s not to mention poor quality used pulls sold as test new.
If you are happy with the Bugle Boy 6922s it might be a good idea to stick with them.

My room demensions are well kinda wierd because I am in an apartment the room grows in width as it reachs the front door. but where I sit on the couch I am about have a bout 12 or 14 feet from front wall to back wall and then the ceilings are 9ft maybe 10. the length is a good 26 30 feet as the whole thing is an open floor plan. so it makes it an odd room. I will get back to you with the exacts when I have time to open it up. 2wqs one or quattros one day when I actually have a real listening room. power conditioning I am looking into was thinking the PS audio duet since I need 4 outlets and dont want to spend 1K on the new hydra. . ah tubes they are hard to do i am currently like the ones that I have in the preamp they are the orange globes amperex so I am gonna let them break in some and see after a few months of real listening. the bugle boys i had in are in the box now. they were not super great at first listen but then again i didnt give them much time to break in or warm up i suppose. I will say when i turn the gain knob to about 12 o'clock the speakers really start sounding open and live. but I cant always listen to them at that level since I am in an apartment, perhaps that is a problem?

Jelliott,

I completely understand budget limitations. Try a $99 Venom3...I'm sure it'd match well with the Duet...it's *much* better than the entry level psaudio cord. I've heard both. PS Audio's current top of the line cords are very good, though.

I currently have audioquest diamond back and want to stay in the AQ line. . was thinking of making the jump up to the columbias or colorados. . any opinions?
