@mrskeptic cool. thanks!  
Interconnects for Pass Labs X260.8
@ghdprentice I would like to believe my components are on a decent level. Every change in cables, components, speaker positioning and configuration of acoustic panels results in audible changes. I think this system reached a level where some of th...

@soix that price is not right. Anyway…thanks!  I’ll get the pins from Pass this week and try the RCAs.  Putting a list of candidates to borrow from the cable co.   
Interconnects for Pass Labs X260.8
@moto_man mine are actually the original Sabrinas. But I don’t think that matters much. I might give the alpha v2 power cords another shot. These X260.8 amps are drastically different from the 30.8. They have full control of the speakers. And the ...

@soix yes…I don’t have the XLR shorting pins..my silvers are RCAs. So I’m only able to try them between dac and pre  
Interconnects for Pass Labs X260.8
@moto_man when I tried the Alpha V2 it was on the XA30.8. It did something strange to the high frequencies that irritated me. I was planning on replacing the AQ Hurricane with it and kept the Hurricane. However, the AQ H didn’t work as well with t...

@ghdprentice how would you describe the sound signature of the Transparent Ultra?  
Interconnects for Pass Labs X260.8
@moto_man I’ll add the Shunyata to the list. Although I wasn’t in love with their Alpha V2 power cord. May be the interconnects are better.  @duckmanst3 yes the AU24SX are on the list.  @jjss49 thanks but hard to imagine these cables approach the ... 
Difference between Acoustic zen Satori l vs Satori ll cables ?
Contact AZ and ask.  
Question about Shunyata Power Conditioners
Hiss is usually caused by components, especially tubed. And if you have very efficient speakers and powerful amp you’re going to be in for an unpleasant surprise.  Hum is typically caused by faulty parts in one or more components or a ground loop.... 
Streamer/dac …. Organic/euphonic sound signature
Bricasti M3 with Network option (roon ready) is very organic/natural, full bodied and rounded sounding but it isn’t colored or euphoric. If you want colored and euphoric, add a vintage tube preamp with a Class A solid state amp or a tube or Class ... 
The weirdness of it all
I’m trying one out now but it’s broken in. I need two for the amps. Was just wondering about the break in. I remember my 55n with FI-50 NCF plugs took well over 500-600hrs. I lost count and then it just all came together.   
Roon….The Gordon Knot of concierge musical services?
Every time my iPhone or iPad can’t find core it’s because the device is on a different network (I have several). Once I switch the remote device to the network where the Roon core resides, it works fine. My core runs on mac mini. So OP…check if yo... 
The weirdness of it all
Yes the DPS-4.1 with FI-50 NCF is awesome.  @celtic66 how long is the break in process?  
What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage?
Nice setup @blisshifi ! Glad you were able to squeeze a bit more out of it. Speaker and listening chair positioning is critical. Looks like you got room acoustics covered as well. Very cool.
