Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
  Good news! I have burning-in a set of Bob Grost (Cerious Technologies) cables. This is Bob’s latest iteration of Graphene cables and supersedes the wonderful sounding Graphene Matriix line. He is using silver conductor as the backbone and addin... 
Silver Speaker Cables
I have burning-in a set of Bob Grost (Cerious Technologies) cables. This is Bob’s latest iteration of Graphene cables superseding the Graphene Matriix line. He is using silver conductor as the backbone and adding graphene. I have speaker, intercon... 
Amp straight into the wall
I can report that plugging my Coda #16 power amp into my PS Audio P15 will very noticeably restrict dynamics. Even thought about selling this wonderful amp until I decided to plug it directly into the wall. Then I went a step further and installed...

We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio?
Who says we can’t? I have a pair of highly modified circa 1960 Altec Lansing 1570B mono block on the way from John Tucker (Exempler Audio) and these sound incredible, far better than the Tutay version.  
Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ?
@soix  The Rhythm 1.3 has a fuller sound stage and an even more refined, realistic image. It really shows you why a good preamp is important and don’t get me wrong because the MZ preamp is a killer pre and same with the MZ2. Don’t forget the Rhyt... 
Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ?
I am a huge LTA fan and love my MicroZOTL Preamp. I did recently purchase a Backert Rhythm 1.3 for a second system. The Rhythm is clearly superior to the MZ Pre but at twice the price. I wish I could comment on the Rhumba but I have never heard th... 
What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”?
I have a DS Audio Grand Master cartridge. I just can’t believe it gets any better than this. Absolute joy to listen to.  
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
@charliee  Patience will pay off if you want great sounding cables. Bob runs a very small business, he doesn’t have a receptionist, sales team or 9 - 5 employees to answer phones and emails. He could be on vacation or off watching his daughter ge...

@charliee  I’m not familiar with them  
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
@charliee  you should contact Bob. Email is the best way to get him. There was a trial period a few years back when I got my cables. He has some new products coming.  
Modwright LS100 vs LTA MicroZOTL
@mdrone  The short answer is yes but not at the sacrifice of clarity or a noisy veil. It is the first preamp that improved the sound of my amp by a good margin. The ZOTL Pre is also sensitive to tube rolling so richness yes.  
Modwright LS100 vs LTA MicroZOTL
I love Modwright products and have 2 modified Oppo’s. I have not listened to the LS100 so I can’t comment on it. I have owned an MZ2 and I have a MicroZOTL preamp. The MicroZOTL preamp is a keeper for life and the MZ2 can’t be beat at the price in... 
Best Stereo Upgrade Value
I normally would not say Phono Cartridge but the new DS Audio Optical cart will render all MC carts obsolete. It’s that good.  
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
Bob, I’m glad you’ve recovered from this. I understand since I’m of that age where I seem to be going to the doctor constantly. I’m still listening to my system through your brilliant cables. I can’t wait to hear these new speakers you speak of. ...
