Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
That's great to know, I only have 18ga unocc, do you think the shield/return needs to be thicker like 16ga? 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Thanks Wig, what length do you make them? I heard it has to be at least 1.5m... and what rca plugs do you use? I have only the Klei absolute harmony rcas but not sure if they are good for digital 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Question for the experts, would a Helix spdif cable sound good? Would one made using 18ga Neotech UPOCC on both signal and shield perform better than 16ga milspec on shield? 
Rockport Avior ii vs Atria ii
Atria II is tonaly thinner and plays on a smaller scale, however it has some of the same strengths as Avior II such as great imaging and detail without being bright, partially due to its incredibly inert cabinet construction. It's a really great m...

Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
@audition__audio Why did you thank Pesky for the "China comment"? 
Joseph Audio Pearl 3 to 20/20 Graphene Upgrade
That's really interesting, maybe a call into SEAS is in order. On specs alone, it looks like the breakup frequency got pushed up 1.5K, which allowed Jeff to push the crossover point up from 2K to 2.5K it seems. As for Pearl vs. Perspective/Pulsar,... 
Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100?
@alexberger It was discovered that the bright sounds for Spendor comes at the hands of their previous incompetent distributor who would take brand new speakers to shows without breaking in. I speak from experience that the Spendor D series is neit... 
Wilson Alexx V
@tomic601 Totally agree, gotta watch out for parts or gear from right wing fascists too. 
Need preamp suggestion
+1 on Benchmark LA4, Stereophile class A, for the money it can't be beat. 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
@williewonka Thanks for the great idea, I will look into that construction for sure. I tried the DIY Helix speaker cable I made previously with VH audio OCC and Milspec, it still sounds pretty good but compared to other speaker cables, I can hear ...

Thanks all for your input, especially interesting hearing impressions against the Aqua dacs which is also highly regarded. Looking forward to your impressions as you receive your Evos.
