John told me he thinks 22awg is the point of diminishing return based on his work/experiments with different gauges...maybe he'll chime in here and comment...not sure on how much you gain between 24 and 22, but 26 to 22 was a pretty nice step up f...

Just kidding around....I wasn't actually going for any thunder, so there's none to steal...I was just sharing that I was trying a different version of the Silkworm's and Elducesol chimed in with his experience at heavier gauge, which mine and your...

Highly recommended Psjulian, save up!I'm going to give John's new SC's and PC a try in the near future, interested to hear what he's done there.... 
Ultrabit Disc treatment
Not sure how it works, but it does. I played the same cuts untreated versus treated for some buddies of mine with good ears, and blindly they all picked the treated cuts, 4 out of 4. Not perfect science or anything, but interesting they all notice...

Well, to be brief...the 22awg are keepers, just more of everything and not a subtle difference at all, it's very pronounced....what a nice step up! If you love the 26awg Silkworm's, start saving up, it's definitely worth it!

Power Cable with a "soft" top end
I don't think anyone said that DCCA cords were soft on the top end, I believe what was said (twice) was Don could tweak them to suit your needs, in this case a bit softer top end... 
Power Cable with a "soft" top end
I have several DCCA and Don makes great cords, can tweak them to suit your sonic needs (softer top end) and is a delight to work with.... 
Any insight with the Berkeley Alpha DAC ..??
What's the price tag on the Berkley? Can't find too much about it on the net, any comments on it's sonics? Comparisons to previous digital you've owned? 
Blowing Magnepans
This thread turned out far less kinky than anticipated.... 
Which preamp Dodd or Cary slp-98L
I thought from your earlier post there was a thread somewhere about the shootout where all the participants had shared their take on the comparison. Both are great Pre's to be sure, I've owned a couple different Dodd pieces in the past and Gary ma...
