Paradigm persona vs. Monitor audio Platinum

R2R is the original circuitry it's old and outdated the sabre chip is much better. And it all depends how good the person using it is cuz I've heard dacs with the 9038 pro chip that sound like crap. You have to know what you're doing when you design the analog side.so maybe before you say anything and you should go and hear the wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac.or better yet why don't you buy it cuz it got a 30 day 100% money back guarantee and put it in your system and try it first.

And audio Troy which harmonic text stuff was acoustic Zen better better than the magic better than the truth link better than Pro silway. Because I know for a fact and I have the magic 3rd generation and the pro 9 SE 3rd generation that nothing acoustic Zen made was better than that.and I compared the two so I should know and he only charged a lot more.

And here's another little tidbit of information for you  Troy which I'm sure you don't know. When Albert von schweikert was working with Jim Wang at harmonic tech him and Robert Lee conspired to try and steal the company from Jim I wonder why, because his later designs were better than anything acoustic Zen was making. And how do I know this because I got it straight from the horse's mouth the former owner of harmonic tech because I just happened to be friends with him because I helped him open up the Vancouver market with Harmonic Technology.that's what kind of a low pond scum Albert von schweikert is.

Also the reviewer at 10 audio had a few other dacs they're including a bricasti and he said the wyred4sound was still better.

I think you should Brandon, I tried MIT which is the same thing as transparent and those boxes just screwed up everything in my system they made everything sound dead and flat. There's nothing ofc out there that will match OCC. And the reason for that is because ofc has 300 Crystal barriers per foot which is like little fractures in the wire and OCC has none so when the signal travels down the wire it's not having to jump through the fractures with sheers off little harmonics with your missing when it comes out the other end. The Harmonic Technology pro9 reference SE is a very good bi wire speaker cable that's what I use. Also comes in single wire connections as well. I forgot the name of the guy that sells them for a good deal in the states they're about $1,500 for an internal by wire set but if you don't need that it'll probably be a little bit cheaper. one of the reviewers a few years ago when Harmonic Technology first came out with the pro 9 put it up against this $30,000 speaker wire and he said that the pro 9 was better. and anybody that would pay 30-40 $50,000 for a piece of wire is a total idiot cuz what can you do to a wire to make it worth that much come on. like I said there's a sucker born every day and some people have more money that they don't know what to do with. But OCC single crystal wire has been proven for 30-40 years to be the best wire for audio.

And stop lying to Brandon Troy most companies are not using six nines or greater because in copper there is only six nines that's the purest, 7 nines is in silver so get your facts straight.

And like I said the construction now has been perfected using air tubes that isolate inside the wire individually insulated wires so if you want to overpay with audioquest go right ahead but if you want is good quality go to harmonic tech or neotech call me because neo take makes the wire for pretty much everybody.

Well you should give a listen to the wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac, I think it will change your mind you really have to know how to design the analog side to make everything sound really good. Even the reviewer at 10 audio said it was one of the most analog sounding decks he's heard. They've really done a phenomenal job designing this dac. It is very spacious very natural-sounding. It's not just a chip that makes it sound good it's everything else designed around it properly.

First of all audio Troy not all companies use OCC single crystal wire.MIT and transparent don't and their wires sound awful and the companies you're saying all charge a fortune for it and acoustic Zen was never better than harmonic tech and Brandon if you want another good company try neotech, their parent company supplies mostly everybody with OCC single crystal wire. There's only three companies in the world that are licensed to produce OCC single Crystal 2 in Japan and one in Taiwan which is neotech.And don't let audio Troy tell you that anything ofc is going to be better than OCC cuz it's been proven for 30-40 years not to be the case. And as for manufacturing like I said neotech makes OCC cable for pretty everybody so it's all manufactured the same way now.the only difference you're going to get ripped off by companies like audioquest who are charging a fortune for single Crystal. Neotech and Harmonic Technology are the most reasonably priced the other ones are very expensive.

PS you should switch out everything to OCC single-crystal, power cords interconnects everything it'll make a huge difference. And if you're going to go with harmonic tech go with the magic 3 interconnects and digital interconnects that's their top-of-the-line stuff.

Audio Troy I've listen to pretty much all of those cables and I chose harmonic tech because they offer the best value for money and they beat many more expensive cables like the reviewer who reviewed them when they first came out he put them up against the $30,000 speaker wire he had there and he said the pro 9 was better. And neotech is supplying pretty much everybody with wire now because they've taken the geometry to about as good as it can get so whether you buy it from audioquest or acoustic Zen who are charging a lot more then go ahead but harmonic tech is offering the same wire at very reasonable prices and Brad didn't ask for your opinion he asked for mine you always seem to like to stick your nose into other people's business for some reason. And you're a dealer who pushes paradigm mostly and I'm not so I don't have an axe to grind and an agenda to push with anyone I just tell it like it is because I'm not selling anything.
