- Wireworld Silver Starlight 5.2 HDMI Cable
Two Meter cable connecting the Receiver to the LED TV monitor. Dont skimp here!!! I have (3) Silver Starlights conneced to the HK and one to the LED TV. I use the Marantz for all my HDMI connections. I tried a lot of HDMI cables from cheap to expensive. This is the very best HDMI I ever used. I highly recommend a demo! The picture this cable produces is stunning and I will not accept anything less from a Wireworld HDMI cable. It is well worth its price and more. The color saturation is very high. Better than most HDMI's out there. The audio is very neutral. This model can be founded heavily discounted. Because Wirewold has version 7 out and performance is about the same but the newest version has the latest updates in HDMI standards. This version can be bought here on A-gon for 1/2 and lower off retail price.
- Shunyata Research Venom 3
1.5 Meter. Using this on the Marantz receiver to power strip. Very full and musical and nice black backgrounds. Very good and highly regarded and I agree. This power cable gets the job done at a great price.
- Samsung UN55F6400AF 55 inch LED 3D TV Monitor
1080p 55" LED Television working at 480HZ. (240HZ times 2 for 3D TV) I love watching 3D movies onDemand by Comcast. I get about 30 to watch each month!!!. WOW what a picture in full HD with audio in Dolby Digital HD. Samsung has the best looking LED Tv's in the business. With great pricing. I've had Sony for years and now Samsung is king in my house in every room. I got 6 Samsung LED TV's in all different sizes and models from low to high. The Smart TV interface in this unit is fast cause of the dual CPU processors. Plus I can use any Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to browse the internet. I'm starting to use my Laptop less and less.
- Wireworld Super Nova 5+ Toslink
1.5 meter. Polished Glass Toslink from LCD to Receiver. Ultra clear and neutral digital cable. The best Toslink Optical at this price point and I have tried many. The newer models just keep getting better. Demo the new version 7 and compare to Audioquest. My two favorite brands for Toslink cables.
- HIFI Tuning C7 Power Cord
1.5 meter. Power Cord used on the Samsung TV. I still think this cable is one of the best upgrades for replacing the TV power cord. One of the best power cords for digital components and best kept secret. I tried many C7 power cords and the HIFI Tuning C7 Power Cord is the best C7 available today at a great price. This PC greatly increases TV performance and the picture just POPS OUT WITH COLOUR SATUATION. FUN TO OWN AND USE. I only can find these at The Cable Company.

300 Watt, 10" 300 Watt Subwoofer. Rel makes the best subwoofers today. Great price points and lots of hook up options. This one shakes the house as called on from movies. Awesome effect and great on 2-channel. This is the very best in quality and consistency and VERY reliable. I only buy Rel. The new models get better and better.

- Synergistic Research XOT - Crossover Transducer
Incredible on the Def Tech Bookshelf speakers. Soundstage more liquid, transients just flow. The black background is stunning. These just makes the stereo sound so much more real. Top to bottom. These may not be for everyone because they do change your soundstage. In my system was for the better for the bookshelf speakers but not in my 2-channel Focal speaker system.
