Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
C_avila1, having had around 300 hours on both SC, I find the HD D8 cables have a slightly deeper soundstage in my main system compared to the HFC CT1E. In the beginning, the CT1E was favored because it seems more airy and liquid but later I favore...

Gents, can we please go back to the thread? I thought the logic "if you can not measure it, you can not hear it", especially in cabling, does not merit to be the sole one and should not. Simply because our hearing is more complex than the best ins...

Kzhtoo, while I totally agree that power (cords) makes the biggest impact - always put the best one between the wall and the power conditioner - I would advice in your case to upgrade the HD dig ref to, e.g. High Fidelity Cable CT1E or CT1U digita...

Practical question as most of us have a limited discretionary spending: how would you spent $20k (retail price) in HFC cables? And can you rank them in descending order of impact?Suggested cabling: 1x power cable between wall and power conditioner... 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
Per Rick Schultz of HFC, magnetic conduction requires a different cable. I hope there are alternatives. These HFC cables / tubes are simple too expensive to cut it open to satisfy my curiosity.The HFC CT1U are definitely in a different league (I h... 
Recommended 5.1 processor + amp under 10k
Thanks for the recommendations, except for the snide comments from Avgoround who trolls just this section of the forum. Mind you I am deploying decent cabling such as High Fidelity Cables and isolation like Stillpoints Ultra SS resulting in, IME, ...

FWIW, I briefly compared the TWL 7+ to the HiDiamond P4 that I have in my systems and the P4 offers clearer textures and is a bit warmer. 
HiDiamond cables burn-in
Chayro, whilst I agree that certain products are overhyped and certain manufacturers (Synergistic Research comes into mind) have "new" products every 6 months, my experience with the current range of HD products is very positive. I have not cheap ... 
Audience Adept Mod
If you are going from the non Teflon to the current TSS model, you'll have a jaw dropping experience. Congrats with the upgrade!

Decided to go with NAD separates, bought demo units at a dealer and spend some good money upgrading the cabling system.Have put the KAV250a and KAV250a/3 up for sale 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
@Audiofun: by magnetic cables I mean those that I have in my main system: High Fidelity Cables.@Loftarasa: it makes a difference if you swap the hot and the neutral when you turn the walwart. Even fuses have a direction! Read about the after marke... 
Audience Conductor "E" or "SE" speaker cable?
Hi Lowrider,Glad to hear you like the powerChord e, I tried to find better alternatives to the AU24SE speaker cables in my second system but could not in their price range.

@Ddraudt: can you describe in detail about your "super-isolation", some pictures in your system if you were to set up, would help a lot. 
HiDiamond Speaker Cables
Thanks Noom for this relevant info. I can image that HD IC cables are a little bit laid back and works excellent in e.g. a solid state system. I am wary of getting more of HFC as they do not have any S/N (which is inexcusable at their price range)...

Thanks for the recommendations. Krell also advised me to keep the amps, maybe get them serviced and upgrade the processor. The Foundation offers more features than I need and I am wary about not licensing Audyssey. Will also look at Anthem and Cla...
