Can use a opinion on Stealth - CWS interconects...
I picked up a pair of CWS (33FT) Balanced from my Pre-amp to my monos and after 2 months of break in, I am very happy.The detail is very good and the top end is accentuated, this could be a bad or a good thing depending on your systemMatt

Chord DAC 64
Glreno just a small correction , the Chord 64 also has 1 x AES Balanced XLR INPUT, and I am not sure it has RCA, only XLR 110ohm, BNC and Toslink.Matt

Sutts, yes, I am in Ottawa and am about to unload "possibly" a Levinson 36S DAC and looking at the Capitole as an option..Will be at the Montreal Show next Friday, hopefully they will have one there !Matt 
The"new" look Capitole
This blind date is not very pretty but I hear she puts out !!!Sutts, sounds like they are crediting you "x" amount toward the purchase of the new one, I heard they are looking at $12K. 
Has anyone heard the Granite Audio 657 cd player?

Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
I just order Signature Powercords and having them Cryo treated, I was told 3 weeks !!! yikes...long time ! 
Wall Outlets? Whats the difference?
I picked up a pair of Jena Labs Cryo outlets, they are a 15A/20A outlet..I have my monoblocks on them..I have to say I did not hear a difference compared to the Hospital Grade 20A plugs I had before..Matt
