No way,No how,Never will...

Maineiac,thanks for the BPT tip,my post was tongue-in-cheek,but am serious about the things I thought I would live without.Bobby at Merlin turned me on to his favorites to go with my Merlins so I am going the Equitech route with those units when another ship comes in.Just ordered JPS power cord for amp and Cardas PC for the source.Almost 800$ for that part of the puzzle.Of course,its just a matter of time before the tubes are knockin on my door.Aint life great!Have a large day,Bob

Robm321,hi.I have wooden cabinets for amps and sources with not alot of breathing room between shelves.Just enough for the input tubes on the Counterpoints,but no more.However,I have some room to isolate sources which are modded DVD players.Any recommendations there??Thanks,Bob

Why are you depriving your self of such beauty in sight and sound? Some people really get stuck in silicon and heat sinks and have a heck of a time getting out. Maybe some day you will find the glow and bask in all it's glory.

Mark,knowing me,its just around the corner.My friend Artg has Nagra power that I havent seen yet,but will soon...cant get enough glow here in the North Country,Bob

Usblues - I too have been waiting to finally get back to Artg's home and hear his latest round of changes since I was there last Fall. I am still waiting for an invite since the holidays. 8-(~

It was Artg who suggested I try the Audio Magic PLC and this is wonderful. It may not be the ULTIMATE PLC, but it was the biggest change I ever made to my system as it was like upgrading 5 components at once.

Since I am also in the twin cities (west metro), and have a ton of tubes as well, if you ever feel cold, come on over to warm up from the glow. And I can give you a with and w/o comparison of what the Audio Magic does. I understand the IsoClean that Artg uses is quite a step up but I'm a happy camper with the AM.

As for power cables, Artg, Jadem6 and I have tried so many of these in our three systems. So far for me, the power cable to beat is the Purist Dominus. So if you're interested, I could bring over a couple Dominus to give you an idea of their benefits.

As for isolation, Jadem6 is VERY knowledgeable on this subject. In fact he is downright a perfectionist here. He too lives in the west metro. I am sure he would have a ton of ideas for you.
