| Hidiamond Cables, Do these reveal the live show? Springbok,Bacardi's words may be a tad dramatic but I can say they capture the essence of my reaction to my HD interconnects. The experience after swapping in these cables was astonishing, listening now after break in, I never could have imagined.... | |

| Tube DAC Recommendations My tried and true recommendation: Audio Note.I have yet to hear a DAC I prefer.It's strength is the orgnanic, natural quality of voice and instrument timbre, dynamics, and dimensionality. It has great frequency extension with clear highs and satis... | |
| Warm, lush and smooth interconnect help Second the Kubala Sosna Emotion. | |
| Transparent High Performance Power Link I use the premium powerlink throughout and each was a noticeable difference from the previous pc's. Improvements were in slam, dynamics, and clarity, primarily. | |
| Squeezebox Line Comes to an End Haven't used it, but I prefer the philosophy behind the squeeze model in which I can integrate with my dac, amp, etc. the original sonos I don't think was able to, not sure about current models. Also, the squeeze line was all about audiophile qual... | |
| Squeezebox Line Comes to an End Vhiner, agreed.Feckless, shortsighted morons.They had an opportunity to energize a market. Instead, they abandoned it, probably because some bean counting MBA could not imagine the potential.I was banned from their forums a few years back for esse... | |

| MIT Oracle MA Digital AES/EBU Ironically, I'd characterize the HiDiamond as a superb balance between articulate and analog. You might want to see if you can get your hands on one, you may be pleasantly surprised. I can understand being trepidatious about a product new to north... | |
| Kubala Sosna Cables - Reality Check My experience with the Emotion digital cable was similar to rhyno's. | |
| MIT Oracle MA Digital AES/EBU Try the HiDiamond Digital Carbon XLR, it is a stunning cable with no weaknesses I can discern. I am also using a Logitech Transporter, into an Audio Note DAC4.1 LE.Previously I've used the Marigo Apparition (RCA) and Kubala Sosna Emotion (AES). No... | |
| HiDiamond Digital IC As far as flavor-of-the-month "it has that feel" comments.I fail to see the logic. Every brand starts somewhere, including the ones we consider famour and/or reputable today. Who is anyone to say this isn't a future Nordost or Kubala Sosna or Stea... | |
| What next? Thanks for the recommendation on the bass traps. That's definitely something I want to do.The speakers are on Sound Anchor stands, rigid steel stands with spikes. They are on the carpet which is directly on top of the concrete slab of the house. I... | |
| What next? Lol, yes, definitely somewhat just bored and trying to decide what to do with some extra funds when and if they should appear.Thanks for all the helpful info though!Speaker placement improvement pretty much an impossibility due to room shape, furn... |
