    Nice setup!

    Have you given thought to rearranging the rack though? Putting the beautiful tubes up top, the plain component under it, with the pre and CDP on opposite sides? Sorry, just a little OCD... :D

    Many, many, many times. I repeat, MANY. The MIT IC's are only 1 metre long and this is the best setup. Every combination was attempted. The setup you describe is what I wanted. Perhaps I'll buy longer IC's. I wanted the amp on top, but no can do.

    That's right Robert, IC's and speaker cables. If I decide to rearrange, I will go with 1.5M MIT Oracle V2.2 Proline XLR or MIT Oracle V3.2 Proline XLR.

    MIT cables are awesome. That would be the next step up for me. The MA's are actually next in line, but I thought I would jump a level or two if I went that direction. Damn Canadian dollar is too low though.
    No cables touch each other either.

    Those are the same as what I use....outstanding cables , IMO

    If I ever hit the lottery, or I should say, "when" I go to the "next level" in gear, I will probably look at those cables also.

    If they are as good as I hear they are....

    MIT ROCKS !

    I went through many cables until I tried MIT
    MIT won hands down

    Ronco that rig man. Off the top of my head, I can't think of much that would sound substantially better, at any price. That speaker has tried to have been copied and cloned 6 ways from Sunday - it just 'works'. Awesome.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Just received a cover for the amp. Looks great.

    Purchased from Valleyplastic. Dave is one great guy to deal with and makes a quality product for sure. He even put handles on the side. Dave can be reached at dadt531@aol.com.

    Welp, here we are 4 years later from when you started this post Mike.

    How about a review of the ARC VS115? I'm interested because I'm considering getting one :)

    Thanks.
