Before posting this query, did you find *any* confirming information, any other message on the originating site or anywhere else that supports the claim sufficient to warrant repeating it here?? Just to let you know there is a perspective from whi... 
Cardas Golden Cross no longer offered by Cardas ?
Maybe you should invest in your hunch and load up on Golden Cross cables now at their closeout pricing.rofl "That's right, mam - museum quality sound."

Shunyata for Arc REF5 SE
My concern is that Cobra Z-Tron might yield stage and images of slightly reduced size compared to Python CX.Hi Guido, I don't recall experiencing a smaller overall context or reduced image scale with the Zi-Tron Cobra, though its been almost a yea... 
Shunyata for Arc REF5 SE
I have a 5SE and used both cables. You're right about the synergy. The ZiTron cable contains technology that reduces dielectric capacitance distortion while the older CX does not. The differences are audible. I'd get the Cobra. 
Audio Desk Record Cleaner

Audio Intelligence VS. Walker Prelude LP Cleaning
This review includes a comparison between the Walker Prelude and AIVS. 
Transfiguration Phoenix
I had not heard of the 'S' designation and it was not used when I purchased. Read your note (saying, <2, less than 2) so not being aware of the 'S', I went to check mine. The included sheet read "Internal impedance 2 Ohms." No biggy - just post... 
Transfiguration Phoenix
Thanks John, you made me look! I think it's actually an internal impedance of 2 Ohms or less, with s/n 2400 or higher. Outer box stamped with an 'S'. 
What's Up with Magnapan at Shows?
 At this year's CES, Magnepan showed how their smallish bass diaphragm panels could serve in place of the larger Timpani panels from years back. The presentation spoke to customer concerns (well, mostly customer wife concerns) about adding additio... 
What About Loom Theory?
>>These conclusions presume that the mixed set is optimized by a combination of experimentation, research (including exploration of what cable types other users of the same components have found to be optimal for use with each of those compo...
