    Thank you sir. I am having to look at rack options for the new room. There is no way I can utilize my current rack.

    I had Legacy Focus SEs. Sold them about 8 months ago. Skip let me borrow his Volterras for the last 2 months. The ones you see in the picture are mine with Dark Grey Sand finish. They look and sound great. Need a couple hundred hours on them.

    Glad to see your pair arrived. I know you’re excited to finally get them. Shipping issues stink.

    along with some new Revival Audio Atalante 5 Speakers to celebrate my 70th.

    A big relief to achieve good sound in the new room :) It's not as large as my last, but I've got room for everything.

    You don't need a Big room for Big sound. Congrats brother, looks great ...

    Happy belated 70th Mike!

    No I purchased my Legacy’s direct from the factory.

    The Volterras are awesome.

    I replaced the dry rotted vacuum tubing on my old Discwasher DiscKeeper LP rack. One for sale ad called them 'rubber compression bars.' I keep demo albums in this. IIRC Discwasher ceased in mid 80's.

    I just made an impulse buy. I picked a Revelation Audio Labs Precept CryoSilver Reference power cable, on the used market . Any thoughts? Am I dipping my toes in big boy territory?

    I'd say so. I have the umbilical cords, as do many a member but I don't recall anyone ever using a PC from RAL. Off the used market, at least you don't have to wait!

    Keep in mind, Trey will demand a full review 5 minutes before you unbox it and plug it in. No exceptions. 😀

    The RAL pc has arrived. It is replacing a DCCA Extreme Reference. The RAL is used, however,I like to have some type of burn in before making any judgement. Almost every cable I own was purchased used,but I just feel better letting the cables settle in. My first impressions are positive so far. Time will tell.

    I probably did and yes, he does. He's a member of a couple of the higher end audio forums.

    Ray, have you had a chance to hook up the RAL PC yet?

    I just got done installing the Tara Labs Jumper cables. They "look" great...time will tell how they sound. I have the rig warming back up right now. We'll see in a bit how they sound.

    Hi Tom, I originally replaced the DCCA on my J2. The RAL gave me a bit wider,and taller soundstage. Like the DCCA,the RAL presented a nice black background. I ran this for a a couple days,and I was very pleased. My next experiment was to replace the Virtual Dynamics Testament 2 on my Aric Audio Motherlode II. With the DCCA back on the J2,and the RAL on the pre, this was a more dramatic improvement in my ears. Same inky black background, but with an improvement in mid range detail. A little more snap in snare drum, vocals seem more”in the room” if that makes sense. So far I’m really impressed with the RAL. I think my next change will be placing the DCCA on the pre,and putting the RAL back on the amp. Of course, if the DCCA will fit. This is by no means a very flexible pc.

    Do you have any impressions on your new jumpers?
