| Connex Audio Cables I will second Dgarrtetson, as I have a set that I made with excellent Furutech connectors and the sound is very good. I have tried a variety of silver cables and if I were still using silver, those would probably be it. As you said in your post,ve... | |

| No such thing as a future proof DAC... Future proofing DAC's, or virtually any electronic device, would be difficult because of the rapid change in technology and materials. However, there are manufacturers who future-proof their equipment through excellent upgrade service, such as MUS... | |

| Actually difference between class A and AB? Sorry Rok2id, I guess I misunderstood. I thought you were stating that nobody on the thread addressed sonic differences when listening, which are in fact addressed in my last paragraph, at least based on my experiences. | |
| Actually difference between class A and AB? Rok2id, did you read the last paragraph of my post??? The only thing addressed in that paragraph is "difference when listening." That is the best I can explain it based on my experience owning three different Class A SS amps. To compare, the Class... | |
