NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??
I have to chime in again. Miguel is WORKING on patents for his products, they haven't gone through yet. Once they go through he will be displaying all of his technology for the world to see. Be fair. I have heard Miguel's Spartan and Troy products...

This would be so much more entertaining if it were translated into Pirate. 
NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??
Boom goes the dynamite. Simply Q, it is obvious to me that you are bashing a product and an honest businessman for the sheer purpose of bashing him. Is it not obvious that everyone else who has posted on this thread absolutely drools over Ben's pr...

Also... no lighting the cord on fire yourself... buncha scoundrels... 
NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??
I personally don't like listening to an audio system unless there's at least a slight chance it'll burst into flames at some point during the listening session.The Extension cord was a standard home depot-style extension cord of large gauge size. ... 
goertz cables
I used the Goertz Boas as my reference for a very long time. I am going back to them with my current speaker project. I have found them to be the most balanced and neutral of any cables I have used (and it's a long list). The only time I didn't li... 
NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??
I have been a user of Ben's power cords for some time now. I am a distributor and the customers I have sold these cords to have replaced $7000 power cords from the likes of Argento and Verastarr, among others. EVERY person I have sold a power cord... 
hifi outlet vs stantard outlet
Albert Porter's Porter Ports are fantastic. The Wattgate Maestro receptacles for more money are also quite good. I've used most of the others and these two are the best I've come across.However, there are probably quite a few changes for the same ... 
Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs?
I don't think all equipment has a warm or bright bias when it is made neutral. Brightness or warmth are just distortions -- either attractive or otherwise. I also disagree that digital is bright compared to analog. The better that analog gets the ... 
Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs?
What NOS DACs are you comparing these DACs to? Because it's not entirely fair to compare the Berkeley to a $300 NOS DAC. The Z and the Mojo Audio DACs are nicer than the Berkeley IMO. But the Berkeley is no slouch by any means. The Mojo Audio DAC ... 
Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs?
The Zardoz Ultimo Transport starts around $1k and goes up to around $4k depending on the upgrades you want. It's a superb DAC and will also allow you to send music wirelessly from your Mac Mini (cuts off the source, feel free to message me if you ... 
Power Cords
There are some chinese pieces of gear that are really nice. For the amp I built I use pure copper unplated binding posts that I sourced from china. Really the only way to tell if something is a knockoff is to open it up. Or you can always ask wher... 
Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs?
I've owned the Havana, Benchmark, and DAC3... you can do better for the money. 
Grover Huffman power cable
Mojo Audio power cords replaced my Lessloss cords. Lessloss replaced VD and Grover cords. It wasn't even a contest how much nicer the Mojo Audio cords were for the same or less money. 
Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs?
If you're interested in a computer as a source then look at Spatial Computer. It'll trounce the other components I mentioned, and is currently what I am using. The website is all mumbo jumbo, but I worked in recording for a number of years and now...
