HEADPHONE CABLE
Thanks @Jim204.I had ordered a Cardas Clear headphone cable from Drop.But it kept being delayed so I eventually cancelled.Which Cardas did you get?I'll post my impression of the AUDIO ENVY in due course.In my experience it takes 2-3 weeks to recei... 
Overrated/Underrated
Well, this has been a frustrating thread.But for CABLES!!; I am a big fan of Audio Envy & also the Duelund 16ACG.Just a reminder that cable is interactive.What may earn an under rated vote for one system may sound very good in another.Cheers &... 
DAC finalist please help
Hi,I heartily second the AM T III@cal3713's post is spot on.I have the base model. Paid under 1500.00 from Vlad.He is a pleasure to deal with.There is always the option to upgrade to the SE, but at this point I'm extremely happy with the base.Good...

What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it?
Conrad Johnson Premier 7A amplifier.That was an absolutely transformational piece for my system.Followed by Thiel CS 2.2 speakers.With the Connie J I probably didn't get the low end grunt which the 2.2's were capable of. But the mids, high end and...

Hey @arafiq Yeah, the Audio Envy cables are about the biggest improvement in S.Q. for under 200.00!I just got a 3p I ordered last week.I installed it, the last remaining A E power cord cord, today on the power supply for my microZotl amp.Right out...
