| market for new IC cables.AQ,Cardas,Nordost&Kimber Ha! Two with the same opinion...must be a valid characterization ;-)Maybe you will like some of the newer Cardas wire....Parsec or possibly Cygnus (though I’ve not heard the latter). Parsec definitely has more "heft" than the AQ stuff did in my sy... | |
| I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies I thought Audioengr (Steve) had commented about this in another thread some time ago. My recollection is he said copying the CD onto a CD-R eliminated one contributor to jitter (I don't believe it eliminates jitter in any absolute sense). If I re... | |
| market for new IC cables.AQ,Cardas,Nordost&Kimber mancub - Apologies for not reading carefully. I missed your IC focus in the title though I think the general traits comments I made still apply.

| market for new IC cables.AQ,Cardas,Nordost&Kimber I’m in agreement with much of the preceding...Preference for one brand/model of wire over another will depend on gear it’s used with and your ears/tastes. Generalizations about sonic characteristics are, I think, of limited value - though the Card... | |

| Jazz for aficionados FWIW - I mind too. I don’t inflct my neo nazi (just kidding) political views on anyone else. Prefer not to be subjected to their views whatever side of the aisle they are from. Only 2nd generation born in the USA. Poor Italian immigrants for whom ... | |
| Mogami wire quality? Wish I had tried Mogami ICs sooner. Mighta saved a bit of money. A pair of XLRs are sounding very good with less than 15 hrs on them running between DAC & pre-amp. Excellent extension of highs and lows. Very transparent sound with impressive d... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Anyone wants to talk Lucinda Williams is welcome here. Had the opportunity to hear her in a small local theatre not that long ago. Enjoyed the show (apart from the political opining). Her backing band (Buick 6) was very good. They opened and did a... | |
| Tidal, Deezer Hey uberwaltz - You might be right but I have to stop short of saying "anything offline" as I've only tried offline Spotify access with iOS devices...MacBook, iPhone and iPod. I'm kinda surprised about Tidal not working in similar fashion. I wond... | |
