Cerious cables - Proper setup and run in time
Interesting...once again Stan posts negatively about the CTs, intimates that those who like them don't have revealing systems, and does not (after many requests from others) reveal what his system is. 
Choosing between the following three cable brands
Jeff (Apogee): Your experience is the same as mine with the CTs, including the issue of volume and dynamics. Since a previous post a while ago, I have checked out how deep the cables reproduce bass notes. I find no problem there, in fact I find th... 
Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic
I saw Jackson play acoustic in a small hall 2 or 3 years ago. Thanks for letting me know about the acoustic disc. This should very special. 
Aesthetix Calypso vs First Sound Presence Deluxe
A couple things: you may be able to "warm up" the First Sound (if it's not warm enough for you to start) by changing tubes. Secondly, Galen Carol Audio (gcaudio.com) has been a dealer and will ship equipment for auditioning purposes. I would call ... 
IC´s:Stealth Indra, Prana Cosmos or Kubala
Hi Emigene - I would strongly recommend that you at least consider the new Cerious Technologies cables. I've owned Valhalla and agree with others regarding them being lean. I've also owned and used Jena Symphony and the Indra (beta version). I am ... 
Absolute Best CD Players Out There Under $12k ?
Busypk: on the same isolation platforms, in the same room, same equipment, etc., including break-in and/or warm-up time? (and with the most recent 3910 mods) If the answer is "yes", I would love to hear specifics about what you heard. That would b... 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Greenman - You make great points and ask a great question. I've learned over the years that the best way for me to make determinations about different products is through EXTENSIVE listening, i.e. listening for a long time with component A in the ... 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
I couldn't agree more with Pat about trying to A/B CT cables. I had the occasion to disconnect part of my system on Saturday, and just that process (which included moving the CTs)resulted in the interconnects needing settling time to sound good ag... 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Norm - I'm very curious about what the CT speaker cables added to the "equation", especially given my reservations about the CT power cords. I'm using David Elrod's new speaker cables, which are wonderful, in conjunction with my CT ICs.John 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Stanhifi's post of 9/28: "Perhaps our systems are more sophisticated and reveal the inherent weaknesses of the Cerious cables. Just a thought."Stan, this has gotten silly. You've been asked repeatedly to post your system, but you don't even respon... 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Ozy - You are the 3rd person to say the CTs were rolled off in the highs, and I can certainly understand that perception. Please understand that I'm not saying - at all - that your perception is wrong. Everything is relative, however, and if a per... 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Thanks Fiddler. I'm in complete agreement with you, and suggest that anyone take my comments with lots of salt as well. 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Ozzy - I wouldn't put them on your Audiodharma. I asked Bob Grost about this specifically, and he said "no". They need a few days to "settle in" (has to do with the liquid ceramic), but do not need the usual break-in per se.Fiddler - Your results ... 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Ozzy - I responded to your e-mail and you can do a search for my previous comments, what other cables I've heard, etc. I genuinely think people are hearing what the REST of their system sounds like when they use these cables (at least the intercon... 
Absolute Best CD Players Out There Under $12k ?
Busypk: Of course!! I have no idea why you would assume what I said would preclude that. I feel quite the opposite: it would be another great piece of information.
