| Enjoying my Audience Au24Sx Speaker Cables, wondering how much better are the Front Row? Hi mc4u, good news.It is looking like thecableco MAY be willing to ship me demos of the au24 SX, biwire version, to test with my Diablo 300! They are confirming tomorrow.I am now wondering if I should push my luck and ask them to send the Front ... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent So unexpectedly Thecableco may be shipping me a demo of the Audience au24sx cables, which I didn’t think was possible as I am in Canada. These cables along with the Clarus Crimson’s are the only two cables left that I’d really like to try before ... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Okay, with multiple individuals, on a HiFi equipment forum of all places where people discuss gear that costs more than cars, basically going “whoa dude, slow down, that’s too much money”, that is giving me a reason to be concerned :)As such I tri... | |
| Power Cable ~ $300 - Which to get? Nordost, Audioquest, Furutech, Shunyata, Zavfino? Sorry just realized I posted this in the wrong thread! | |

| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. I won't be leaving mine on all the time, although I have been through burn-in, which is done now!Bubb the hifi market is comparatively small. Many dealers and distributors are not selling expensive equipment on a daily basis, so I'd expect they n... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Yes, I was surprised that I didn’t “max out” the performance of my speakers. Before my cable testing I thought that I may not hear that much of a difference between high end cables if my speakers (and source for that matter) were limiting perform... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Yeah really a good thing I haven’t heard those too.....I really didn’t start out looking for an integrated, but after getting one, with an integrated DAC, I appreciate the elegant minimalism vs a slew of boxes and even more cables. Just more elega... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Can't disagree with that; it's a lot of cash. Way too much. But the counter to that: the difference I heard, at least to me, is the same as the difference between the Diablo and the other preamps and amps I tested. It is that large. Cables are... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Also regarding budget - unfortunately my original budget topped out at the cost of the Valhalla 2 speaker cables only - not the power cord as well. And, I have a new (but burnt in with 425 hours on it) AQ Hurricane which unfortunately I’m now diss... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Yes I’d say that is correct Lalitk that the Frey 2’s offer 85% of the performance of the Valhalla 2’s. Maybe even 90%. So yes from that perspective, a good value.One point about the Transparent’s. They are "calibrated" by Transparent for your part... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Thanks all and I cannot argue with any points/suggestions/advice. What I can do is ignore it :)Much to my families annoyance, my amp and DAC module are fully burned in having about 425 hours on them now. Someone else said that Gryphon told them th... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Thanks Douglas. But I have to credit one of the three dealers that lent me the cables for insisting that I test full sets from each manufacturer! | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Also Inna, you raise a good point about a potential future upgrade of my speakers, and having to change the cables again. I did consider this, and I have a couple of thoughts:1) You can say the same about the amplifier and other components. Eve... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I’m rather limited in trying demo cables with my equipment at home because of where I live. For that reason, I cannot try cables from Wywires or Townshend. In fact, there are only a couple of other brands I cou... |
