Power conditioner for EMM CDSA ?
Monarchy Audio Regenerator. Absolutely unadultrated !!! 
Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker?
First order cross over, Time Alignment, Phase Alignment are all very good things and I agree GMAs do it well. But I dont listen to them individually, it comes as part of music, if piano sounds like an instrument which is just 2ft long and 2ft wide... 
Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline?
Knghifi and Charles1dad, If you look at all my cable related threads, I have never asked a question about speaker cables, never ever....do you know why ? Simply because I found a cable which doesnt leave its signature on the overall sound, even if... 
Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker?
I havent heard the bigger GMAs but the bookshelf models I have heard are clearly flawed in the bass region IMO. The mid-upper bass which gives an acoustic instruments its woodiness character and to some extent the body was lacking seriously IMO. I... 
Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline?
as apparently many other users of this cable feel the same based on the numerous posts on this thread(vast majority). It just did`nt fit for you and pani, nothing pleases everyone.It is a common observation and also common sense that most people d...

Knghifi, all I am trying to say is Livelines have an extreme sound so it becomes EVEN MORE important to audition them before buying. Just like a Cardas Golden Cross which tends to have extremities on the warmer side. Yes, "ideally" every component...

While I will not debate on the tonality of the Livelines, I will just say that it MUST be auditioned before buying to see if it falls into your camp of signature sound. It definitely has polarized impression. Not for everyone.

Like the warmest Ice cream ???

Knghifi, I am not saying Crimson is the best cable. I was rather more impressed with my previous Fusion Audio cable. It did more things to please me !!However I realized that if I want more tube-like sound I am better off adding a tube component t...

Fla, the Fusion Audio Romance IC is more romantic sounding. It has a lush, rich tone but it is not veiled, muddy or slow like typical romantic sounding ICs. It has good extension on both ends and makes music sound really full and present. That is ... 
K and K Audio RAKK dac
WOW, this is unbelievable. I was myself looking to start a thread on RAKK DAC.I am also trying to read feedbacks about their latest incarnations but not much info is available about them. I was thinking of trying their best configuration DAC. I am...

BTW, Crimson comes with a return policy.I normally never buy a cable new and never ever at the list price. This one I bought new and at its list price, thinking that anyway I can return it unless it blows me away...and guess what, I am ordering on... 
Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline?
Fla, I have not tried the speaker cables. But I know they use the same cable for their interconnect, speaker cable and digital cable. I have tried it as an interconnect and a digital cable and in both the applications it is fabulous. When I say it... 
Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline?
Macdude, my observations is exactly the same as yours. Tonally it had too much edge and lacked warmth, while sounding too live. Subtlety was out of the window.I would strongly suggest you try a Crimson RM Musiclink interconnect. It will blow you a... 
Best new Liquid conductor technologies-Audio Magic
Another such example was when I drove a Maggie 1.6 through the RG1...the Maggies were singing and dancing like never before. I dont know the specs of the Maggie but going by your other posts it seems to be a difficult load. The room was about 400 ...
