>>Scott, what you got to lend out?  if you want to can just send them all to me<<

2 pairs of audio magic excalibur IIs, 1 meter rca
1 pair of audio magic spellcaster 1 meter rca

spellcaster is the newest, and the bass is BIG after putting it between the pre and amp.  i might lend something for a few days if someone wanted to check them out

Awesome offer, scott!  +T

Nick, you should be all over this..

i think you'll hear a dramatic difference in the system

I definately heard a huge difference when I rewired my studio monitor setup with the Audio Magic cables... overpriced, maybe, but very good performance upgrade... really helps when mastering and mixing and EQing, to hear things so accurately..

I thought we could make this thread the official "New Toys" thread, here's mine:  (Thanks Uncle Sam)

what's the full system now?

[Wes]

I've had gear flying in and out of my house this past month..

it started Arcam AV8/P7

then went to AV8 / Krell 2250

then..  Krell Showcase / Krell 2250

and now Krell Showcase / Levinson 331

The showcase and the AV8 sound both sound very good.. but the Showcase is more in your face and I felt it got the best bang for the buck..  The Krell 2250 blew away the P4 in terms of power, but the 2250 was too bright, especially when paired with the b&w's.  The Levinson is the most accurate, detailed amp I have ever heard..  They say once you've heard a Levinson you don't go back, well I think that may be true..  I'd eventually like to dump the Showcase for a Levinson No.40, but with a $30K price tag, it will probably be quite a while.

Do your interconnects happen to have the ability to improve my room?  

of course they do. Get a few thousand of them and hang em' all around the room!!
Should damp those room resonances nicely...

I have been using Crystal Clear Audio, pure silver reference interconnects
and am super pleased with them.   I had used some Blue Heaven Nordost
for a bit, but I believe that I like the sound of the CCA's better.
They are not quite as bright as the Nordost.
