Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
James63,In my quest, I value first and foremost the musicality aspect of things--in which the music, mediated through my stereo set, has to have that special ability to draw/drag me in emotionally into the performances. Neutral is more my taste, b... 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
Accompanying a friend in search for new speakers we recently went on an audition spree. This friend has extensively auditioned the three set of speakers for weeks before finalizing, I, however, only attended his last.The $20k+ Revel with all Krell... 
Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic
And oh as to be more relevant to thread, imo one of the better cable maker implementing silver gold technology is Siltech--best of both world. Try auditioning one that's within your budget (used most likely), to get a taste of their sound. Good luck! 
Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic
Enamored by the recent hype, for the past two weeks I have been home auditioning the SR Tesla A and Absolute Ref power cords. I must say that their house sound are unmistakable, (I own the Designer Ref2 and Apex ic's for some years). Almost always... 
PS Perfect wave power cord
Is the PW AC12 the real deal (sota) or merely superb for the price? I've got two brand new units on loan, undergoing the usual fits of breaking-in at the moment, plugged them in for 3 days now. Decided to give them a go due to positive comments in... 
Tidal contriva se vs Hansen The Prince V2
Elviukai,maybe you can re-try posting and share your thoughts here. 
Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3
Hcc4,Another excellent comparative post! Awaiting your sneak thoughts on Q5 should you be able to get to them sooner. I will be auditioning a pair when they arrive in my country--hopefully by May. A friend who has heard, actually preferred them ov... 
Tidal electronics...
Hi Maxx1973,Congrates again on those awesome speakers! So you are confirmed April? Bet your current gears will do just fine driving them. Would love to hear your comparative notes of the Tidal electronics. 
Are tone controls worth a second look ?
Good tone controls are great. However, they are by no mean short-cut nor remedy to achieving a great sounding well balanced system--this basic, needs to be worked on first as priority. Better controls of today in form of equalizer/linearizer do no... 
Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ?
Exotic--Burmester, Gryphon, WavacClassic--FM Acoustics, Audionote Kondo 
HELP SUGGESTIONS FOR A BETTER SOUND
I had the exact same ic you are getting. Imo, they are impressive sounding albeit slightly colored. Images are nicely illuminated but at most times seem larger than life with noticable boost to their midrange and in particular--bass. Unless you fa... 
Siltech Golden Ridge G6 with Satt Digital cable
"I know it is possible to get a clean, neutral yet natural analog-ish sound if the cable is done well. Does the G6 Golden Ridge fall in that category ?"--Yes, definitely. Quiet, natural, and resolute is how I would describe them. I do not think ev... 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
Two came to mind.-FM Acoustics-Tivoli Audio table unit/radio--dirt cheap for the musical pleasures derived that I had placed 6 of them all over the house.Both are keeper for me. 
Magico Mini II vs V2 with Pass amps
Looking at your requisites--music types and smallish room--Mini2 is without a doubt the better speaker choice. In addition to your findings, I also found them to slightly but noticeably excel in having the more refined (musical?) and palpable midr... 
My findings on Magico V2.....what now?
I've read the Hi-Fi Avenue blog whereby a Malaysian dealer connected their V2+Soulution combo demo using their own home brew cabling throughout--could that be the same dealer? Did you try connecting them with other cable make as well? Transparent ...
