Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline?
I was able to try these cables as well, the single ended version (rca's). Its a very detailed, lively sounding cable. The mids are very clear. They are also very dynamic.Yeah, they kinda killed my $1500 interconnects already. 
Shunyata's Guardian 4 vs Hydra 4s
Now have the hydra 4s along with python 20amp cord. Nice ! Nice! good stuff & many thanks for those recommendations. 
Shunyata Python versus copperhead for power amps
It is recommended like what Audhile1 suggested that best powercord be placed at the Hydra. It makes a huge difference. So in this case I tried it both with the Copperhead and the Python on the Guardian 4 (now hydra4). Python wins!!! 
Proac+Cary and Accuphase or Esoteric CD
both the accuphase dp500 and x-03 are awesome players.X-03 is detailed, with tight extended bass.DP500 wins in the midrange department and the orderliness of the sound.It is warm but not overly warm to the point that details disappear. it has enou... 
Warm copper speaker cables under $500 new

Dynaudio Focus 140 vs Totem Model 1 Signature
Having owned both speakers, while both can be driven with your NAD, though both can benefit from muscular amps. Good candidate for either amp is the Plinius integratd amps.

Dynaudio 140s, need advice on a decent cable
Had great luck with analysis plus oval 12's on the Focus 140s.The s1.4 is a more refine dynaudio, bigger mids, but i feel its a darker sounding speaker compared to the 140s.

Wilson sophia typically found with solid state
i heard the sophia 2s driven with a tube mcintosh amp & mcintoshi 300/400w monoblocks solid state. While the tube amp sounded nice, i felt it was not able to control the bass well enough.I much preferred the solid state presentation of the mci... 
Shunyata's Guardian 4 vs Hydra 4s
Thanks Cerrot, yeah, have the same observations.I will be using the Hydra4s with the python powercords.Looking forward to having these in my system. 
Shunyata's Guardian 4 vs Hydra 4s
I Had the opportunity to hear these side by side & i much preferred the Hydra 4s refinement, more detailed and more blacker than background advantage compared to the Guardian 4.Guardian 4 is no slouch though.I'll probably get the Hydra 4s. 
Anyone tried Auditorium 23 speaker cables ?
i tend to agree with what the poster Denjo is stating on the au23s.These are very good cables, i wonder how they sound after runned in though?Dealer just had them few days ago.
