Hi all, I have been pondering the wisdom of spending many hundreds of my hard earned dollars on some Furutech power cable, IEC connectors etc (I'm still using standard power cables)
I am convinced that different audio (inters, speaker)cables do alter the sound but have not until now thought of power cables because of the scarcity of Hi Quality Australian 3 pin wall plugs -having now found a Aussie site that sells Furutech Aussie plugs has led to this ponderation?

I , for one, am thrilled.

I will be out tomorrow and buy this one local. Cannot wait for UPS. Amazon link has a video of one track. Another "big fly" from MCC. The album artwork looks tremendous. Too bad not a fold out poster.

Here is the Rounder link: MCC/Rounder

I'm just wondering why there are no reviews of any of the current Revel Performa speakers...

Considering that both the M20 and F30 from the prior line were rated Class A, I would have thought someone at Stereophile might be anxious to try out their successors... I know I'm anxious to see what the mag thinks of them

I currently have Martin Logan Prodigies driven by McCormack DNA 500. I am thinking of getting some seriously good amps in the price range of $20K+ to bring out the best in my speakers. The problem I run into is that everyone tells me their amps can do the job. My question is: Can they do a Great Job?

Is the power rating over-taken in significance by other design considerations in expensive amps?

Another problem is that the list of well reviewed expensive amps is quite long: CAT, Atma-sphere, Dartzeel, Audio Research, Lamm, VTL...
