Audience Front Row?
@audphie1- It's also 3x the cost of the AQ Diamond! I have high hopes.  
Audience Front Row?
Yes, after posting this I called them. The guy on the phone told me they have OCC silver in them. I asked how they compare sonically to the frontRow. He didn’t know, suggested I email John McDonald the owner, so I did. I specifically asked him the... 
Nordost TYR 2 USB?
Never mind, I just ordered an Audience Front Row RESERVE USB cable from TMR.  
Wireworld Eclipse 8 interconnect - opinions please
I just switched from Eclipse 8 to Gold Eclipse 8 and the amount of information did improve, most notable was just more transparency, speed and top end detail. I replaced the connection from Dac to Legacy Wavelet II and from Wavelet II to Coda s5.5... 
Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects
@w123ale    I just moved up from Eclipse 8 to Gold Eclipse 8 and it was a nice improvment in detail, transparency and dynamics.  
Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects
@w123ale Just for my personal reference because I am very familiar with Wireworld cabling, what level of WW cables did you replace? Interconnects and speaker? Thank you.

Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?

@minatophase3   Silversmith makes Fidelium interconnects now? I have the speaker cables.  
Looking for a tube preamp that has xlr outputs.
I sincerly hope you enjoy it, my favorite setting was medium active.

I messaged you. I have a copy of the invoice for the Mk III upgrade I can send you. You spoke to Kevin Hayes I expect?   
Looking for a tube preamp that has xlr outputs.
The tubes in it are good, esp the Telefunken 12AX7’s. Those were my favorite 12AX7’s in that preamp. All the tubes were tested and strong. I sent it to The Music Room with them in it.  
Looking for a tube preamp that has xlr outputs.
@dlowman No need to have it looked at, it was mine. It’s been updated within the past 2 years to Mk III and recently I had them go through it again to change out some parts. I dropped it off in Sarasota while wintering in Florida. It’s in real go...
