Lak is right. And these are too new for there to be any on used market. Neal 
Best Rock Album of 2014
Beatlebum,Glad to hear you liked the latest from Woods. You might also like their album before Light and Love, called Bend Beyond. I am just exploring it, and find it very interesting and absorbing.In a similar vein is the latest Real Estate album... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I want to add that Rick Schultz is a consummate gentleman and professional. I sent him photos of what I thought was a defect in the CT1-E IC's. As he pointed out, the foreign object on the termination was part of the RCA input on my DAC that came ... 
DAC for iPod/iPhone
Thanks Peter and DH. I already have a JDS portable headphone amp which I think is an excellent piece, so I respect the company.Neal 
Best Placement - CT-1E
Elizabeth,From my standpoint, it is ALWAYS worth the hassle experimenting with cable placement and with new cables. And I will do so here -- though I have to grit my teeth before crawling behind the big rig.Neal 
AudioQuest SKY revisit
The Sky is a very well-rounded, balanced cable, fuller in sound than Nordost Valhallas but with a smaller soundstage and not as much detail. They are very musical and non-fatiguing. For the $$ they are a great value. I use a pair in my BR system a...

Lessloss Reference review?
The 6Moons review wording may have something to do with the fact the reviewers are Dutch and are techies more than audiophiles (they run IT Depts). There are glowing reviews of this PC in more conventional audio publications like Stereo Times, etc... 
Lessloss Reference review?
As I described in previous posts (See, A New Superstar), I find these cords to be nearly transformative. I have tried many cords but somehow I find the LessLoss hits my sweet spot. Starngely, though Louis Motek, the designer, says they need hundre... 
Best Power Conditioner?
How could you not list Audience Adept Response PC's at or near the top, especially the models with the Teflon components. I have had and /or heard Shunyata, Synergistic and a few others, and IMHO there is simply no comparison.Neal
