Stage III Concepts Cables - Any Advice/Feedback/Thoughts is deeply appreciated.
Joe Abrams can have anything built for you at 50% to 60%. I’m pretty sure I can say that? Anyway, my name wouldn’t hurt if you want to mention it to him. Careful of the echo chamber in here from others who have gone off the deep end into Gucci Cab...

Yeah, S3C seem to be heavy on blending metals and hand made hyperbole. Good luck with that stuff. I would seriously consider upper level MIT cables before deciding. You have no idea how holographic and tonally right your system can sound unless yo...

I’d stick with the Pass gear and get some MIT cables or even Audioquest.  Use recordings with voice and real acoustic instruments.  Live recordings are great as well to see if your system can catch that elusive..wow, that sounds organic and in the...

We know jburidan, we know!  Harman still makes some great stuff...Mark Levinson, Revel etc..  Just because they are not made by ma n pa kettle or some audio sage darling of the year, the JBL sound seems to still be there.  Guttenberg’s take on the...

WOW!! Just wow is all I can say about my 4429’s....even cold out of the box they have that physical presence to the sound and the best tonality I’ve heard. I’ve had Wilson 6’s and 7’s, and Dynaudio C4’s and B&W 802 D3’s to name a few and none ...
