MC 601 from music culture
@Icorem : I had a look on your system. It's quite something!!! You must be tall to reach your LP player?! ;)Can you give me the price of the MC811 in Israel? 
Music Culture mc 501A Dual CD and USB player
Even if the Oppo is a very good overall player, it can't compete with the MC. The DAC of the MC is probably the most natural DAC i ever heard and i don't think the Oppo can do that.

I listened to several power amps : KARAN, KRELL, MCINTOSH, AUDIOMAT, ARAGON, ACURUS, PLINIUS, USHER AUDIO, PASSLABS, NAIM, AUDIONET, CLASSE...As i explained before, many amps are great. None equal the naturalness of the MCs and it's not system dep... 
Good speaker match for the Devialet, Magico ?
I'm French and you should not consider French speakers for Devialet because it's french. Focal or Triangle are a joke on High-end speakers (way too expensive for the result). Jean marie Reynaud are colorful. Cabasse created real good High-end spea... 
Best interconect for ASR
Try to sell your Cardas on ebay. There is a lot of people who like that kind of warmth. If you're looking for neutral cables for small money, Analysis Plus cables are great. Oval 12 is very cheap and very interesting. 
Replace Silver interconnect cable , please advice
For me, changing Focal for...bigger Focal is a mistake. If you can, try a pair of Usher Audio CP-777. Even in a bad acoustic, those speakers are stunning. The Diamond DMD tweeter is way superior than the Focal's BE tweeter driver and the Appolito ...

You're right! Cables cost too much but when you find the right electronics, optimize it it's VERY important to get the whole result!Hope you'll like MC and if you need more infos, don't hesitate to ask.Enjoy!

I have quite the same question as Chatnoir : The thinness seems to be equally the same on all the HF range. Regarding that small diameter, what about the lowest frequencies, the weight and the overall presence on HF cables?

@Petieboy : I red the TEO concept on the website. If i understand it correctly, it implies that there is only one type of cable and no range? It seems impossible to create a range with liquid cable cause you can't argue on the conductors size or t...

@Icorem : I compared it with the X600.5 amps. For me, it was quite revealing. Many amps gives large bandwidth, dynamics, wideness and depth, but the MC-811 add magic! The sound is so natural that it's hard to describe. If you like the naturalness ...

Thanks for those who understand my demand. Rating a cable with words like "excellent soundstage, deep bass, wider..." Is pointless cause you can use the exact same words with many other cables. It's only marketing! I didn't heard every cables on t...

As a good DAC, you can try Mytek DSD DAC. Not expensive, handle HD tracks and very nice and musical. W4S DACII is also a great deal for small money!
