Cable recommendations for cary slp-98p & cary 120s
Jakecanada,I agree with what's been said, you're happy with the silver Kimber, so why not stick with it? The quality of silver cables can certainly vary among brands. The better quality ones will provide excellent transparency and will preserve th...

Hi Tbg,Does Rick's Wave Guide Power Conditioner have a similar system impact as the Tripoint Troy or is the effect dissimilar? I realize they're two different approaches/ concepts. Given my High Fidelity CT-1Ulitimate experience I'd imagine that t... 
Emission Labs 300B vs Shuguang Black Treasure
Pani,The only negative thing I've heard about the KR tube is that certain batches/generations had early tube failure issues. Sonically it's said to be a very good sounding 300b. The EML as far as I know has no reliability issue and are priced a bi... 
Is the BMC PureDAC a great dac?
I'm sincerely curious to know what parts in that DAC need 800 hours for full break in. It seems somewhat excessive. I've heard components improve with continued use, but 800 hours? Honestly? 
Emission Labs 300B vs Shuguang Black Treasure
Pani I used the Shuguang BT for 2 1/2 years. It's a good tube but I find the EML(XLS) better across the board. It isn't embarrassed by the Takasuki in my amplifier. The Takatsuki is the best sounding 300b tube(sublime) I've ever heard, unfortunate... 
Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE
I'm curious, what speakers do you plan to use? 
Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE
Mikirob,I don't believe a home trial is available. I'd feel very confident buying this amp given the pedigree and the builder's stellar track record. I've had nothing but excellent service and follow up with Israel Blume.Thanks you for your kind c...

Hifil,Honestly I see your point but I must say Tbg makes the same example as I did earlier, multiple brands combined with multiple opinions= ?The Cable Company is referenced for obvious reasons, they have these cables available for audition. They ...

Well some early RMAF reports express it's pretty impressive sounding.

It's as if some of you haven't actually read this thread at all, many comparative brands have been named. You all need to read what's been written in this 'very long' thread.

Hi 4ooreal,That's my only point in attempting to offer constructive advice, get a sample pair from the C. Company and listen. 20 people can list 10 different cables in all manner of system configurations. I'm not sure how this helps in any real se... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Hifial,You make a good point but if Iblieve has read the entire thread then he's seen many references to other cables used. Many people have chosen to name cables, some others don't bother with it. Tbg,I suppose one can keep trying different cable...

It pointless to declare anything the"best" . You can hear an audio component and subjectively say it's sounds excellent, which is what we all do if we're really impressed. Nothing will ever be the"best" to everyone under any and all circumstances....

Fplanner I agree with your nswer. It does become somewhat pointless to list other cables you've own/heard , doesn't mean much due to numerous variables involved. I got an audition pair from the Cable Company so I could judge for myself. 
Question for serious Siltech users
I have two friends who use Siltech in their audio systems and they sound very good . I've not heard of read that these aren't well regarded cables. Their character is organic and smooth as opposed to artificial and hyper detailed.
