NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
@lak,Yes, I don't think either is going to be bad. I've gotten both cables blind so don't know what to expect out of the Matrix. From what I read in the forums it should be an impressive upgrade. My thought is I'll end up like you, Matrix doing th...

Northern Idaho / Spokane area audio folk, any informal meets or interest in idea exchanges

What I miss about vintage gear
I've toyed with the idea of the Magnum Dynalab Etude, also thought about gutting something like an old VTL amp as a façade. Have to believe the circuit wouldn't be difficult to just engage a pair of meters, just don't have those design skills. I c...
