Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Q:'quality' speaker cable

In my experience, speaker cables are the single lowest-cost way to upgrade a hi-fi system. I use the following. Many people swear by them, they are fun to make, and the cost is next to nothing. http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/triple_t_e.html moshulu -- moshulu

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Can anyone recommend a tube amp simpatico with SB3

DIY 300B single-ended monoblocks (total of ten tubes) sit next to an SB3 and a plasma TV: a combination that is a sure conversation icebreaker when guests come over. I also have a DIY DAC, so I can't say anything special about SB3/tube compatibility. moshulu -- moshulu
