Furutech PC's?
FWIW it’s not all about Furutech as I use a mix of Acrolink power cords and interconnects, Wireworld digital cable and Chord speaker cables in my system, apart from Furutech power cords. It’s the combination that matters.  
Furutech PC's?
Thanks @audphile1 for the thoughts, appreciated. I can’t refute your experience on the weird coloration with Furutech power cords or speaker cables but have read some of these comments several years ago on whatsbestforum I believe. I have no probl... 
Furutech PC's?
@audphile1 how do you find the Furutech Dss-4.1 speaker cables with totl furutech plugs? I am actually done with the system but have always admired these speaker cables. The only hindrance that is keeping me away from the Dss-4.1 is the high price.  
Furutech PC's?
I have the Furutech DPS4.1 with FI-50 NCF (R) plugs and can recommend these. The plugs are more important than the cable and I don't use anything lesser than the FI-50 NCF (R) on the DPS4.1. Initially I bought the DPS4.1 which came with older and ... 
Current or Previous Harbeth Owners…
You may explore Graham. I switched from Harbeth SHL5+ to Graham LS5/9. Another option is Rogers but they have limited models.  
!!! Harbeth M30.2 Xd,NOT Just Pipe & Slippers Speakers!!!
Good to know. I’ve been a long time Harbeth user for more than a decade. Owned the SHL5 and SHL5+ for a long time, listened to all the M30 iterations from the original M30 to M30.1 and 30.2 40th Anniversary. The latter sounds best while the older ... 
Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120
Had a good offer on the new Signature model, but chose to go the BBC line of speakers with an other designer I admire a lot, mr Derek Hughes and his Graham Audio LS 5/9. The Graham speakers are an endgame speaker   I lived with the Harbeth SH... 
Luxman 509x or Simaudio 600iV2 with mágico A3.
I had 590 before and wasn't my cup of tea. Is it the 590AX or 590AXII? The latter is reported to be noticeably better.  
Using two Luxman integrated amplifiers together
Thanks @maholl50 for the response. Appreciated.  
Using two Luxman integrated amplifiers together
May I ask how does the Harbeth M30.2 XD compare to the Dynaudio Heritage Special? Which one do you like better? I would expect the Heritage Specials to have better bass and dynamics than the 30.2 XD but which one has a higher involvement factor wi... 
Gryphon Diablo 300 or Vitus SIA-025mk2 / RI-101mk2
Thanks for the post which is surely useful. A used Gryphon Diablo 300 is cheaper than any of the Vitus integrateds so that's an advantage there.  
Van Den Hul Hybrid Revolution
I was searching for reviews of this VDH Revolution hybrid and found one here. I am surprised this cable is now 20 years old, perhaps close to 2 decades. Damn.  
Help with XLR ICs.
@audphile1 or anyone, would like to know if you hear a rather noticeable or significant difference when you changed from the Acoustic Zen to the Nordost Tyr XLR, or any XLR to another XLR cable? Currently I have two pairs of XLR in the price ran...

Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review
I used to buy hifi magazines when I was in my teens until the early twenties. I stopped reading the mags approaching 30 when I realize it's a waste of time (and money).
