Anyone try Decware silver interconnects?
I've no idea if MAC/RAC is/was the builder of Decware cables. Just know what I hear and always liked MAC ICs. Now i like the Decware because of the Silver Xhadow connectors.

Thanks for trying to share. I'm blocked from viewing as it states I am outside of the UK. 
I screwed up
That is a very nice set of cans. Now you must dissect what they have the system does not; mostly involvement.You can keep the Dancers, but the HK hits the road. That is a sterile amp my friend. Find some new life in a different integrated. Borrow ...

Anyone try Decware silver interconnects?
I've the Decware DSR II 1 meter with Silver Xhadow connectors and they are brilliant. Best cables I've run with all of the sought after attributes of detail, imaging and dynamics. Best cable before those were my MAC Mystics. Can be bettered I'm su... 
In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music
May Bobby RIP and his remaining family find some solace in the future.I've read through the bulk of these posts and weighed the tenor of them. I enjoy Bobby's incredible product and found the several communiques, personal phone calls and emails wi...

I've the Quadraspire Sunoko Vent and it is light years ahead of my Target stand. Quite dynamic, open and controls the bass well. I was shocked by how much better it is than the Target. 
How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2?
Zd542 is dead on.This is a very solid table not prone to delicacy splashing lots of audiophile terminology about. It is a solid performer with an AT cart. What you are 'missing' is lots of air around the instruments, imaging and a black background... 
Speaker Advice?
You are tossing a great speaker, but I understand. Don't know your budget, but the Harbeth HL5 with front port may be considered. Or, Merlin monitors with no port. The Merlin floor standers are also front ported. 
Need Advice on a Low End CD Player Giant Killer
First off, the term "Giant Killer" is so over used it has lost most of it's meaning. You get what you pay for......mostly. Secondly, I've never heard a multi-disc player even match a decent single-disc player, so let's slide that off of the table.... 
A visit to the 2015 California Audio Show
Cooper52,You have correctly identified many of the aspects of an audio show: exhilaration, confusion, doubt, awe and disappointment. It's like a first date. The rooms really can be dreadful and sometimes impossible to function in. Some of the simp... 
Audio Rack Opinions
Quadraspire Sunoko Vent. Spent years with Target convinced they were very good........... for their time they were, but the Quadraspire is so superior controlling the bass, so much better at opening up the midrange and highs. These racks are also ... 
Naim UnitiServe - is it as good as a good CDP??
I'm in agreement with Krellman7. I own the UnitiServe and while I cannot claim it to be the ultimate server, it is my first one, it is very good to my ears and far fewer pieces than the Mini-Mac requires. I delved into the Mojo from Albuquerque, b... 
preamp/amp or integrated? That is the question
Sugden A21 SE integrated. This piece is voiced well enough for symphonies as the Class A amp tends a bit toward tube-like smoothness. Being all solid state though, it carries the bite and attack of blues and rock well. It is really really fast. At... 
300 budget
Luxman R-1050. Excellent phono section, very good pre/power sections. Will best the Onkyo and NAD stuff. If you go with any integrated with pre-out/power-in then Chrshanl37 is correct about the jumpers. Big difference.
