Transparent Ref XL
i fully understand what both of you mean. The problem is that when i change power chords and IC's. All IC's i've tried benefit from a highly resoluted PC's, IMO. But, the TA Ref is still the one that is or seems filtered. That is probably why it c... 
Krell CAST cables...which to buy?
Hi,i tried the original from Krell and also from Marcuscables. I also bought Transparent Audio's version and that was the key for me.A former Agoner, Branimir (maybe he is still around!?), also bought very expensive from Siltech among others.He do... 
Transparent Ref XL
No, it's mk1, 97-03 design. It's not mine, they are borrowed. 
W4S STI-1000 what IC and power chord?
Plato,as for the moment i am first looking into IC. When i have found the IC that works as i hope, i might dig more into PC's.However, as it is now, i have noticed the Signalcable Magical dig, is quite good for amp. Though, i would rather have the... 
W4S STI-1000 what IC and power chord?
I have borrowed Transparent Audio REF xlr, xl version. This sounds at it's best, with high resolution power chords. If i use a smooth PC, the REF IC sounds too closed in a lose microdynamics and detail. A PC that sounds harsh with my Signalcable S... 
Kimber Select IC's
What differ the 36 compared to the 30 (silver), the 26 compaired 21s (hybrid) and all copper?I'd have the 11 series, mine is balanced, you run single ended i guess? A friend of mine ran the 1130 in his system (for a demo), he uses Transparent Ref.... 
Audio Art IC-3SE & SC-5 Speaker Cables
Would be interesting to hear both the IC's and speaker wires compared with Signalcable Silver Ref line. Franks cables sound great with no extra burn in. Hm.. quite difficult when importing, to do a home trial and error. 
Signal Cable Silver Ref XLR
Sgr, i had Transparent ultra at home. I did run it 7 days, about 5 hours a day. The cable were used, so it was burnt in. I had it home for a 14 day trial. When i called the seller and wanted to return it, they nagged about it. So, i did ran it on ... 
Lyngdorf CD-1
Interesting. May i ask, if you used Nordost cables at both cdps, i guess you used balanced connection at the Lyngdorf and single ended at Naim?From what i have heard, the CD-1 benefits greatly going balanced.As for what i have been told, bass repr... 
Opinions on Wyred 4 Sound ICE amps
I am amazed no-one have made a compairson with the Nuforce amps and pre's towards W4S's dito's. I have never heard W4S amp or pre. I am building a system from start again. I have pre-ordered the STI-1000. Looks like a good deal. Might aswell ask a... 
Bel Canto CD-2 and Benchmark DAC1
Capq,I had a Krell KPS 25sc some years ago. I was kind of thinking of this, cheap drive units compaired to expensive. So, i connected my $500 Pioneer dvd as a drive unit to the dac of the KPS 25sc. Wow, what a difference. The soundstage was flat, ... 
Experience of Gryphon Tabu CD
Yes, i had one for several years, what do want to know?I have no experience with Wadia though. You can mail me if you would more specific talk. 
KRELL FPB vs FPB cx
I owned 600c and 700cx. The 700cx was bought new, it was not the 600c upgraded. The 700cx is a little darker sounding and it is also smoother. The 600c in direct compairson, can be a little harsh in the edges of voices etc, a slight sting in the t... 
Krell Evolution or Pass XA.5 series
Good bass, controlled bass. Micro and macro dynamics. The talk of highten bass towards mid and highs. Nah, forget that. That is simply a user, using speakers that are not suited for the room. The Krell amps drive the bassdrivers in a manner most w... 
Anyone had experience with PMC big guns?
Sashav, you are home with the IB-2 and even more with the MB-2. But, the MB-2 throw huge bass that stomps over the most speakers. The MB-2 require huge room but sound is extremely fast, explicit detail that a great transmission line design give. T...
