venustas or jps superconductor 3 speaker cable?
I had the PAD Venustas(Rev C non praesto) & JPS SC3 in the same system - like others have said the PAD are rolled and warmer & less transparent compared to the SC3. I replaced the SC3 with the new Harmonic Technology Pro-9 Reference SE (20...

Question on ASR Emitter II Exclusive Battery
Suteetat, ff you can run your DAC via RCA into the direkt input, I highly recommend it. I had my Modwright Transporter going into the balanced input and then tried the direkt input via some inexpensive RCA(just to try) and the difference was very ...

Amplifier for Usher Be-10
I have the BE-20's and was using them with the ARC 210's. It sounded good but a bit to bloomy and bass was WAY loose. I now have an ASR Emitter Exclusive II - much better sound overall and bass is much tighter and better defined. 
preamp for ARC 210 monos
I used a BAT VK-52SE - was a nice match.

ASR Emitter II Exclusive question
Ale, I am using the JPS with a jumper to the bass. I was going to put my ASR on top of a rack but it's just to big so I bought an HHG amp stand made of wenge rails & walnut posts with a granite insert. I was suprised to find that the HHG stand... 
ASR Emitter II Exclusive question
I've been using a KCI Silkworm II RCA - superb sounding cable. Brings a slight bit of warmth that I like(expecially coming from a full tube system). The cable is 24k gold - not plated - very detailed and rich but not slow sounding at all. 
ASR Emitter owners,What speakers are you using?
I have the Emitter Exclusive II w/gold boards and the Usher BE-20's(with GR Research replacement crossovers) - what a wonderful match IMO ;)
