Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Mr. Essential Audio....is it your custom to comment on products you've never owned, let alone never used? Ozzy is a long-time Cable Cooker owner, and has infinitely more experience with the unit, and with multiple models and brands of audio and vi... 
David Elrod. the man , the cable the company.
Hey, Brain....the Bulgarian "man-in-black" doesn't scare me. :--) 
David Elrod. the man , the cable the company.
Agreed, 711....though while all are over 6-feet tall, Alex would be considered a "thinner" pillar. :--) 
Acrolink in-wall cabling?
Joe....the Romex and/or Handiwire can be cryo-treated (I perform a double-treatment on cabling, wall receptacles, and other electrical parts....of course, this methodology is for another discussion), which will greatly increase the performance of ... 
Acrolink in-wall cabling?
Mcmiller....using an expensive in-wall cable is no different than using "very good PC's". After all, they both are placed after the electrical panel. Unfortunately, debating this is a straw argument, just like comparing the high price of gas....es... 
Acrolink in-wall cabling?
And Hooper, with all due respect....none of your friends have had the opportunity to try the Acrolink, considering it's a brand-new product in the North American market. Perhaps they would change their tune if they found it outperformed the VD or ... 
David Elrod. the man , the cable the company.
Thanks, Oz....the check is in the mail. :--)I'll ditto David Elrod, Ken Lyons, Philip O'Hanlon, and Ralph Karsten....(the other fellows I don't know directly)....and would enjoy adding Dan Meinwald of E.A.R. USA, Garth Leerer of Musical Surroundin... 
Got NBS Omega I cables - Shunyata Hydra now ?
To Warren and Tvad....the Hydra 2 and 8 are *not* the 'same thing'. While I am not directly intimate with these two models, a friend auditioned both of these and found they sounded differently, primarily because the 8 is the model containing the g... 
Poor man's IC cooker?
Tonyptony......the reigning theory is that voltage deals with the dielectric, and current deals with the conductors. This, of course, is simplistic, but it seems to pass muster with the engineers. I strongly suspect there is more going on with thi... 
Can the EAR 834P with volume control drive an amp?
Yes....Tim designs all his consumer equipment like his pro gear, with extraordinarily low output impedences of around 50 ohms. No problem. I did this with the 834P years ago. It's great going direct! 
hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ?
"whose experience has greater validity? The one who lectures from the lab table, or the one who conducted the experiment, and observed the results."Terrific post, Nrchy! Here's another great quote:"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"..... 
hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ?
Albert....I myself have been transfixed by your presence at various audio shows. It's gotta be the cryo. 
45 adapters
4yanx......could you kindly list a link to the e-bay seller? I couldn't find him with the search function. Thanks! 
Sahuaro Plateau vs. Ensemble Megaflux
Actually, the Sahuaro Audio Slipstream and Sublime speaker cables have handily outperformed the Ensemble in a variety of systems....greater clarity, soundstaging, bass foundation, etc. etc. Great taste, no brightness. :--) I have no direct experie...
