Anyone with experience having cables made using Amorphous Metals/Alloys
@williewonka Thank you for your response. Looks like you have pretty deep experience with DIYing cables. I agree with you regarding UPOCC cables & hence even I use UPOCC copper cable for speaker cable. I would like to know how & from wher... 
Anyone with experience having cables made using Amorphous Metals/Alloys
@carlsbad2 Theoretically speaking OCC is better for electrical conductivity than normal/OFC copper/silver because of lesser crystals present. Amorphous metal takes this to next step and has no crystal structure at all hence amorphous, but having n... 
Need Help With Building DIY Grounding Cable
@hsounds my components are not balanced and I am not using any balanced input to attach the ground box, it will be only to the unused unbalnced inputs on DAC and integrated amp. Thanks for the caution.

@tksteingraber Thank you for your response. Yes I am going to connect the bnana plug to the shell/-ve of RCA plug leaving the center pin as it is.  I saw the photos and desription of your ground box, it surely looks nice.

@steakster Thanks for your reply. I am going to build two grounding boxes, earlier my plan was to make 1 bigger one..but now changed it making 2 boxes with smaller dimension. I don't have account on DIYaudio, so thats why I am hoping someone would... 
SoundKaos Vox 3a + Bakoon Amp 13R + Merging NADAC Impressions
I have had numerous conversations with Martin who is the owner and designer. I will try to state the exact words as he had said. The design principle followed by SoundKaos (henceforth I will refer to it as SK) is there should be no crossover in t... 
Need Impressions of SoundKaos Vox
@randyk you said it correctly..they are very dynamic and engaging in a tiny package...if you have a small room like me, I think this can very well be last speaker you need.

Anyone compared Merging+NADAC to other top dogs like Rockna, dcs, MSB etc.
@grannyring  & @izjjzi thank you for your inputs, its certainly very encouraging. Clicks when different bit rate songs are played should not be an issue to me, but as you have mentioned its not a deal breaker as well when compared to the resul...

@lalitk  Thanks for your response.   Since you have owned Rockna & EMM labs, can you provide more specifics regarding comparison between them & NADAC? You can use Musicality, transparency, realism as the pointers (where NADAC truly excel... 
Can one use assymetric wire gauge for speaker cable construction?
Thank you guys for your input. I will let you know once I am done with building cable.  
Can one use assymetric wire gauge for speaker cable construction?
The for using assymetric gauge came from the idea that can I use power cables as speaker cables. Ignoring the fact that these are heavier and inflexible compared to speaker wires, shielding on these is much better than ordinary wires & gauge i... 
Anyone else attend the California Audio Show in Oakland?
@larsman yes, Bakoon Korea has split from Bakoon Japan & now Bakoon Korea is Enleum. Their new Amp 23-R is essentially repackaged & renamed amp 13-R. Though I personally feel construction (chassis) of 13-R is much better than new one as ol...
