I don’t spend a lot of time on this forum but now that I happened by I’ll just add my two cents. I met Bob Grost a little over year ago since we discovered we were neighbors, living within 25 minutes of each other here in the Valley. My interest was piqued by several blogs and reviews so before we ever met and became friends I had placed my first Lumniscate order ( balanced IC’s). I have some nice gear and had what I thought were superb Nordost cables. Well, now I’ve got the full loom of Lumniscate and am absolutely blown away by how my Lumniscate cables have utterly transformed my system. Speaker cables running out from my Dynaudios to my Krell Class A amp, power cords for my Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC and Makua preamp, Antippdes K41 server and K22 player, AES lit from my K22 player to the DAC. Words cannot describe how superb and transformative these cables are.
In Bob’s defense I know how busy he is. I hardly ever get a chance to visit these days because of the exponential increase in demand for his cables . It’s as though one of the industry’s best kept secret is out of the bag, and while not exactly inexpensive, his cables are the very best value proposition in the cable industry. Better than Odin2 quality for 30 cents on the dollar. For anyone who finds Lumniscate a bit out of range price wise, the Matrix v2 remain the best value proposition in the line. I use them for my Farad and TeddyPardo linear power supplies. Superb. Lumniscate for everything else. I only wish he could allocate the time to make a REL Nutrik cable as I have two 212/SX subs that are calling out.
Anyone new to Cerious will find Bob to be genuinely down to earth and honest as the day is long. He’s a great human being, albeit a very, very busy one. I think he’s digging himself out from under. Getting his new website up and running was quite a feat, and it came out great , and now that’s in the rear view mirror.
