Snake oil??
Not that I have compared the two: there is another graphene paste from madscientistaudio.com in NZ which comes at a much more accessible price with similar acclaim. I chose to order it after having had a very good experience with Acoustic Revive E... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
@mahgister,thank you for appropriately calibrating my comment: not l’Homme Machine but rather the current limitations to defining appropriate measurement in borderline acoustical phenomena were my direction of travel. This level of debate, though ... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
@kevn,methinks the basic fallacy isn’t that computers can’t hear but rather that Human minds haven’t found the right measurement methods to program them appropriately. Ultimately AI will lead us to codify hitherto uncodified human sentiments such ... 
Is Innuos Zenith or Statement Overkill with a High-End Streaming DAC?
Don‘t even think of ‘upgrading’ by getting rid of the Zenith! It’s a great streamer. When upgrading the DAC think of getting a DAC with an analogue volume control to go directly into your amp. Digital output levels being what they are only need at... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Uuh ooh aahwe have the ‘scientists’ disagreeing. Maybe we are finally getting somewhere... Fat Chance!Maybe we should get them to debate the conductivity aspects of molecular lattice structures in crystals next.... 
Best of Germany!
Highly recommended,easy to drive, seamlessly integrated 2-way with very realistic soundstaging when positioned correctly. Because of horn-like characteristics great impulse and decay, no shout. Real value for money with excellent finish. 
The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts
Single malt is directional unless you overdo it: down the hatch! 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
...unless you lead in front (in thought) you have nuttin‘ but ***holes in front of you... Another fine example of directionality ...oooops: how decidedly unscientific of me! 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
As to science: before Galilei the world was deemed flat because scientists didn‘t know what to measure: geddit? 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
I find it astounding that one of the most eminent cable manufacturerers makes an unambiguous case for directionality and yet all manner of pundits refute it without offering any substantive argument. This sort of thread is useless. 
All things being equal (hypothetical) which do you prefer, XLR or RCA?
If you can get your DAC or preamp near the amp there is no benefit from a balanced connection, conversely if you want to drive mononlocks near the speakers balanced is likely the preferred option. In high res systems with short cables my experienc... 
Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system
@Big-greg,your post vindicates mine, mate: few people would want to buy a DAC where the clock alone costs $7000. That‘s the cost for a top Cybershaft, Antelope or DCS clock. That doesn‘t mean that these clocks are superfluous in a high end system.... 
Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system
@riaa_award_collectors_on_facebookTouché! BTW there are numerous threads elsewhere that discuss the sonic influence of different 10mHz clocks on high resolution systems.The suggestion that $7000+ clocks should be incorporated in standard issue DAC... 
Connecting a streamer via an Ethernet cable
Wifi is a good solution if you have no neighbours competing for your channels and a strong internal network. In all other instances ethernet or fibre are preferable. Nevertheless great care needs to be taken to suppress RFI/EMI when using ethernet...
