USB DAC CDP: EAR Acute MkIII or Marantz SA11S3
Thanks for that, Musicman. I'll have to check out the 192 and see what chip and tubes it has and how it relates to the Acute III.I hear you about the new formats. Sort of the Digital wild west out there. I didn't pony up for PONO either.... 
Short report on EAR Acute CD player
RJA-any specific tubes you would suggest? Keeping it detailed, extended and a little warm? Thanks. 
A New Superstar Power Cord
oh, I should mention that Paul at TWL feels his standard copper terminations sound very similar to the IeGO's with his cord. 
Need advice on rich sounding cables
I have to agree with Denon1. They are very revealing and musical at the same time and Jonny couldn't be a nicer guy with which to deal. I have heard a lot of the same cables mentioned (MLT's, K-S, MG and others as well) and really feel settled in ... 
A New Superstar Power Cord
Hey Lak,A 5 foot Seven Plus that, as an AXPONA demo, has IeGO gold over high purity copper terminations with carbon fiber housings. It was on my AMR CD77.1 and now on my Lampizator. The BMI Oceanics remain everywhere else. It replaced a BMI Oceani... 
Any one here heard the Bmi Oceanic Statement?
Hi, yes, I have some notes at home regarding the sounds of differing Oceanics. I have a recent cord, a silver terminated one and one with the original metallurgy. they are all 3.4-4 ft. long. I have recently been trying other combinations of cable...

My speakers are Dynaudio Confidence 3's with a Plinius SA201 driving them and the SRA Cottonmouth Sigs I just bought meet all your requirements in my system. Get some from the Cable Co and give them a try. 
A new cable for dynaudio c4 confidence
What do feel is lacking in the AZ sound? I have Confidence 3's powered by a Plinius SA201.I had AZ's some time ago and didn't keep them long as I felt it wasn't a great match. The cables that I have had which I liked a lot were Analysis Plus Oval ... 
A New Superstar Power Cord
Gentlepeopleofaudioland. Not too surprising that different results are found on different pieces of gear. But the comparison to Elrod is a very nice complement. It may very well bump up some business. Like Mr. McGrogan(2), Elrod is hard to beat in... 
A new cable for dynaudio c4 confidence
Hmmmm. I am demoing a pair of Snake RIver Audio Cottonmouth Sigs with my Confidence 3's/Plinius combo and will be buying them! Stealth Hybrid MLT's were a nice match, too. More years ago, I used Analysis Plus Oval 8 with good results. How do you l... 
Need suggestions for a USB and digital cable.
OOOOPS! I left out the main USB cable, the Gemini (and I had to adjust the lengths for my purchase due to availability)!MacMini (DC modded with Mojo Audio)-->0.5m Mercury USB (a single iFi cable)-->iFi iUSB--> 1.5m Gemini USB (a dual iFi ... 
The best CD Player for the money
Cary 306/200 on the used market. 
Waiting for PONO
Oh good! Another format to replace my 2000cd collection. Sweet! Gotta' PONO UP! Ha!I have to agree, production is key. Upsampling has never made my ears any happier than the sound of well produced native rates. That said, years later, digital is s... 
Need suggestions for a USB and digital cable.
I have the Cynosure by Locus Audio. It was crazy expensive and I haven't compared this cable for years as its been the only one I have used for a long time. The recent use of dual terminated usb cables completely separating the power and signal co... 
What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam?
Dayglo looks gone from his own thread?So, if you are out there, hope this is helping.I have to go with jmcgrogan2 on the copper. Most of the time, I prefer a mix of metals and, for whatever reason, an amalgam of sorts. I don't know what you would ...
