Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"?
Audience AU24SX. Don't do anything wrong; clear, natural and balanced. Can't go wrong, and reasonably priced.

What CD Transports Provide the Most Detail?
CEC TL-1X. Gorgeous sound from CD's; beautiful looks; built like a tank. 
Can you put a Krell in an apartment?
To finish the thought: I run the amp into an Audience AR6T power conditioner. Also run a VTL 7.5iii pre into amp, and PS Audio DSD DAC (w/Bridge II streamer), Bryston BDP-1 digital transport, and Sansui TU-1X tuner into pre. Power cables include E... 
Can you put a Krell in an apartment?
I have had my Krell FPB 300cx amp on a rack in my one BR NYC apt. for almost 4 years, without any issues. The important thing is to give it headroom to breathe. Have not had any problems, continues to function perfectly powering my Magico A3's. Neal 
VTL preamps tonality (and vs. PrimaLuna)?
I am the very happy owner of a VTL 7.5iii preamp. I don't think it has it's own sound: what comes out is what goes in. I do not find it adds or detracts warmth from the original. If you have good sources, this pre will disappear for you. Neal 
Suggestions for Balanced cable between Luxman C900U and M900U.
Audience AU24SX Balanced IC's. Use them between VTL 7.5iii preamp and Krell FPB 300cx amp and they are near-perfect. Detailed, full-bodied, natural sounding, don't do anything wrong. And reasonably priced. Can't go wrong.Neal 
Initial impressions of the new PS Audio "Windom" download?
I expect there will come a time when Ted cannot keep outdoing himself at this level, but it hasn't happened yet and I hope it doesn't for the foreseeable future! Neal 
Initial impressions of the new PS Audio "Windom" download?
All I will say about Windom upgrade is: Holy Algorithms! I have been at this for decades and I rarely have heard such a jump in audikle improvement from anything -- component, playback media or software. It really is magic.  Neal 
... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY?
Mikey881,The AQ Hurricane is the high current version so I have not tried it on my DAC yet, but will. Right now it is on my VTL 7.5iii preamp and is both detailed and full-bodied, audibly more so than former LessLoss Reference. I will try the Hurr... 
Tidal WiFi not as good as cd
I recently installed a Bridge II in my PS Audio DSD DAC and signed up for Tidal. To my astonishment, music wirelessly streamed from Tidal (HiFi) to the Bridge II sounded BETTER than the same music streamed to my Bryston BDP-1 with a portable HD wi...

Anyone here with Magico A3 driven by Bel Canto Ref600's?
Whoa! Can we return to civility here? Opinions are just that -- opinions -- no need for personal insults.On to the question. I have Magico A3's, which I drive with a Krell FPB 300 cx, a Class A amp. Have not heard the Bel Canto Ref 600's, but year... 
Audience Au24se vs Au24sx cables
I am using the Au24SX speaker cables with my  6-month old Magico A3's, and the  AU24SX XLR IC's running from my VTL 7.5 iii preamp to Krell FPB 300cx power amp. It took a while for everything to burn in and settle down (especially the speakers) bu... 
High Current VS Dedicated Source Cables : Audioquest
I am using a HC Hurricane on my preamp and it sounds great. I suspect you can use the HC cord on anything, but should not use the Source cord on an amp that is HC. Neal
