The most detailed speaker cable??
Screw the beer and wine!I think we should lock them in the Octagon for some ho-holds-barred fun and games. No kicking a downed opponent, no fishooking, no groin strikes, and no small joint manipulation.Are YOU ready?!Are YOU ready?!Let's get it on...

Review: Audio Mirror D-1 DA converter
Very interesting and inciteful findings.I've been comparing the Ack! Dack! 2.0 with my long time Kora Hermes for the past month and it does seem to mirror your comparison of the Ack! 1.3 to the Scott Nixon Tube DAC. Where would you place the Audio... 
The most detailed speaker cable??
Audio is one of my escapes, and I'm quite content to dabble in the voodoo and black magic aspect of it. I'm finding good arguments on both sides here, but by in large I won't let the science of playback limit my experimentation.I agree with Rsbeck...

Rx8man, I like good things in small packages and these guys do seem to be pretty special. Something I might consider fo rthe future.Bailey, have you thought of getting the VPC•1 passive preamp to match to the D•100s? It would be cool to have a bun... 
BAT vs. Mcintosh?
Yeah, I love the 6SN7 tube. I've been using a 6SN7 based Blue Circle BC21 for quite a while which I even preferred to a BAT VK3i I once owned. What I seem to like is what deHavilland Audio calls the "big tone" sound of the 6SN7.I was a bit apprehe... 
BAT vs. Mcintosh?
Sounds awesome Loonytunz!I'd been using a BAT VK200 for almost two years and just made the switch to a Bel Canto SET40 which had some pleasant surprises I wasn't expecting. I never realized a high powered SET could deliver such great bass. I thoug... 
BAT vs. Mcintosh?
Loonytunz, I've heard about other people using the same set up as you and they're happy as well. Being that they're both BAT products and Victor takes great care in his designs, was impedance or level matching an issue at all? It must sound great!
