JADE AUDIO Cables
I will give the Pure Gold a try, it will be ordered from JD. Will hear if the social difference will justifie the financial one, since the Vermeil really is a 'big hit' in my system. If other users of the Pure Gold would like to share their experi... 
Symphonic Line RG3 and built in phono amp
Well, they explained but I can't really describe it in good English. It seems there are about 5 or 6 pegs inside on the phonoamp to manipulate the load. All off = 1kOhm. But I'm no technical wizzard, so I will have to give it a try when the ZYX ar... 
Symphonic Line RG3 and built in phono amp
GregI called symphonic Line an tried to explain in my best German. They confirmed the phonoamp can be set for low output MC. I needed to know, since I will buy a ZYX Airy 3 S SB with 0,24mV output. Thanks anyhow. Renaat Mattheus

Plugged the Vermeil now between preamp and poweramp: this seems to be the better place in my system. 3-D imaging impresses me most, together with better (more) lower end emphasis. Sound is very well balanced. The Vermeil has to be burned in furthe...

The 'Vermeil' arrived this morning. Plugged it between my DAC and preamp to replace Symphonic Line Reference ic. Will report on my findigs later on. First impressions 'right out of te box' are very nice: bigger soundstage, more natural and detail ...

Thanks Nutella. I hope to receive the cable this week. Could you please tell what cables you replace with JADE's and in what sense they were outperformed?I use Kubala Sosna Fascination interconnect between pre and power amp (and speakercable). 
Best speaker cable for audio physic padua speakers
Maybe you should give MIT a try. I once bought Magnum3 sc to combine with B&W 805 Sig monitors and these MIT's 'produced' a wonderful bass (my amp at that time was Plinius SA201 solid state. I had to sell them when I moved on to Kharma floorst... 
Marigo vs Kubala-Sosna
Bowtie,Thanks, I think I got the message :-) 
Marigo vs Kubala-Sosna
OK. Sounds really nice to me. A little bit more transparancy would be welcome indeed but without loosing smoothness. 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?

Thanks for these wise words :-) I am looking for a pair of demo or second hand Emotion speakercable, but hard to find.If you should know someone...How would you describe the difference between Fascination and Emotion? I really do like the Fascinat... 
Marigo vs Kubala-Sosna
Hi BowtieguyI've got K-S Fascination ic and sc since a few weeks in my system. They sound very nice indeed and I am thinking of upgrading to 'higher level' K-S already ...
