Nordost vs. Transparent...which is better?
Visited the Nordost booth at the recent TAVES (Toronto A/V show) and spoke with Mike from the company. Great sales pitch without being too "over-the-top". Made a few very interesting points about the product which made sense to me. My question to ... 
Your thoughts please
@ Maraknetz: I have often wondered about this: "For performance use naked wire". In other words, the bananas or spades are simply for ease of use? I thought the ends made for a better contact but perhaps you are right.You have to be careful though... 
Ocellia cables IC why not much talk?
but what STORES actually carry them? Everyone seems content with buying $500+ cables without having the chance to try them out. I am testing other cables right now and I haven't been able to see a difference between those (which are thoroughly dis... 
Ocellia cables IC why not much talk?
But still a hard cable to find anywhere! Just tried a couple of other brands and wasn't overwhelmed by them. 
The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig?
Fun thread! My Prima Luna usually gets a lot of comments because of the way it looks and the Joseph Audio have been getting a lot of "wow, great sound coming from those bookshelf speakers!" 
Richard Gray and Transparent: compatible?
@Stringreen: what are you using now? Which RG did you have? 
Richard Gray and Transparent: compatible?
I have been a big fan of this brand too. That is why I didn't understand the earlier comments. 
Richard Gray and Transparent: compatible?
Just curious, are you plugging the power cords IN the RG unit? It was my understanding that the RG power conditioners work on the CIRCUIT wherever they are plugged in...In other words, you don't need to plug anything IN the RG piece. 
What is the best power cord for pass labs xa100.5?
Syntax, that is one heck of a powercord indeed. The price tag is the mother of all pricetags too! I must say that pic made me think "if I win the lottery..."!

I tend to side with Audiofeil on this topic. Let's face it, the market tends to have a lot of these "flavor of the month" type of products and eventually they die off never to be heard from again. This brand has that "feel" IMHO.

Good on the distributor to try and make you happy Ozzy even if it means refunding you which may suck for him but is ultimately the right thing to do. We have no way of checking these out unless we take a leap of faith or trust what others have bee... 
Monitor Audio Silver RS6 - What Speaker Cables?
I second Smholl's suggestion! 
HiDiamond Digital IC
What is the distributor's reasoning Ozzy? A cable typically gets much better break-in with cable cookers IMO than they do with source running through them. What's the next excuse; the source material wasn't the right one? LMAO!Bottom line is are t... 
Acoustic Zen Adagio + REL Strata iii's
I was listening to the Adagios a few weeks ago and I must say that they sounded really nice. I went a different route though but I am using Acoustic Zen interconnects and power cables throughout my entire system. That would be my suggestion becaus... 
Your jaw dropping cables
Thanks Essential, I will contact Taras this week.
