Glory, I do agree with you that you can build a very good cable in the garage but what happens when your garage power cord starts a home fire? Is the second built cable exactly the same as the first cable and does it sound the same as the first ca...

Fiddler all I can say is “WOW”; “live and let live”. Sorry but I am no longer going to mention any makes or models of equipment I personally use, I would also like to apologize to Defride (the original post) and say I am sure this was not what you...

What I noticed is if you have a definitive opinion on this forum you are a bad guy. I am not saying, JPS, Nordost, Harmonic Technology and several other well manufactured cables don’t sound great because they do. What I am saying is; I prefer one ...

After over 30 years of testing cables we do not spend much time with entry level models anymore. We have found in our testing that if you are after real emotion it will not happen at entry level so most of our testing is done on the top 2 models o... 
Speaker Cables for VANDERSTEEN 5 speakers
Hi Bradluke0, Divide that number by 6 because we are a group. The cables need 200 hours plus to be broke in properly but truthfully lots of the cables were purchased used. Our goal was to get past the snake oil and see if there was an advantage to... 
Your jaw dropping cables
We have tested ASI and we thought they had a unique sound and were also live sounding. In my opinion you should always stay within the same manufacturer throughout your cables. You will know when you have it right with your cables when you stop th... 
Speaker Cables for VANDERSTEEN 5 speakers
We tested 400 cables and found 1 winner but for you it could be a complete different cable. Our testing is base on a scoring system and once you get into very expensive, well manufactured cables than the only thing that separates them is emotion; ... 
The best digital IC, period.
I personally bought my cables directly from the manufacturer in Italy about 2 years ago; I didn't even know there were any dealers for HiDiamond. All I can say is this is the most emotional sounding cable I have owned. 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
I agree 100% but couldn't you get into more detail; just kidding. The Mk4 is a total different level than the 2 or 3 and it should be at the price point they sell for. I will say that after owning a ton of speakers I don’t understand why this spea... 
Advice requested on speakers
I personally have owned over 300 different sets of speakers and in my opinion phase coherency at the listener’s ears really makes a huge difference when trying to achieve an emotional experience in your system. I personally run Zu Definition Mk4 s...

In my opinion there really needs to be some technology behind a cable and a proper factory. Most guys on this forum know enough about cables to build their own cable but will that cable really evoke emotion; take your system to the next level. Wil... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
You’re really comparing apples to oranges. It is tough to get to deep in detail because my system will be very different from your system but the Radian tweeter is much more transparent, detail and faster than the previous models. The Nano driver ... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Please understand it is still just my opinion and there are a ton of variables that play into the scenario. I have owned both Merlin and Joseph and these are completely different than Zu because Zu does not use any crossover parts for 8 of the 10 ... 
Your jaw dropping cables
I agree Kubala Emotion and Elation tested very well in our blind test but HiDiamond was a more emotional experience and it cost 50% of what I can buy Kubala for. I have had both cables on my system for extended periods and the HiDiamond cables put... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
I have also owned the Def 2 and truthfully they are an absolute steal for the money. They are not perfect but the things they do well they do very well. The Definition Mk4 is a different level and in my opinion competes very nice against any speak...
