Any audiophile grade optical cables?
The VDH Optocoupler is an excellent optical cable (I have used it), but in my experience, 110 ohm digital cables generally sound better.Neal 
Mike Smith of the DC5 r.i.p.
FYI, there was a recorded interview of Mike Smith done by Pete Fornatale of WFUV-FM NY, which was broadcast on Pete's show Mixed Bag this past Sat., March 1. You can stream this if you go to WFUV.org and look in Archives of Pete's Mixed Bag shows.... 
Speltz Anti-ICs cable and different plugs
I have the bullet plugs in the IC's and they sound great, with tight connection. These cables are a steal.Neal 
Anybody had experience with stealth Indra ?
I replaced Audioquest Sky's with the Stealth Indra (with old Cardas terminations, not production titaniums) between CEC TL-1x (modded) transport and Dodson 218 DAC. It has been a transformative experience equivalent to changing preamps. Never have...

Kef Reference Three vs. Von Schweikert 5HSE?
I have been a happy owner of VS VR5 HSE's for some 4 years. The highest praise I can give them is that I don't think about or pay attention to them much; I listen to music. I mean this as high praise, but they don't do anything wrong. Not colored ...
