Power Cords
highstream,I respect your opinion. I’m sorry, $3000 for a cable is not cheap. After it settles for 48-72 hours from movement it should be okay to audition. It’s my understanding that the Shunyata NR cables are already broken-in and don't need to b...

I just received an Audioquest Niagara  interconnect cable. I'll post comments in a couple of days.

I'm happy with my Antipodes DS GT,  but my friend insisted on getting me a DX 3 to try. I preferred the DS GT over the DX 2. Will see how the DX 3 compares to my DS GT.  
Power Cords
You’re more than welcome to visit me when you come to SA. My system has changed a little since your last visit. How is your system sounding after all of your updates? How's the Antipodes DX 3?

All my comments are a reflection of my analysis in my system, with my ears. For you to say " IMHO to flatly say Shunyata power cords were aimed at the mids and top ends of the bandwidth as to their best attributes is absurd. This is again, IMO an...

stringreen,"Why would you not continue with Wireworld?" I may continue to use Wireworld. I'll repeat, I'm confident that my components are set and I'm trying to figure out if I need to change my cables. I was told my weakest link were my Wireworld...

auxinput,I agree Silver can sound "thin" compared to copper. It's not that I'm trying to get more of anything in particular. I just want to see if trying different cables will yield better results. I think you make a good point and you have convin...

rodman99999,My components are where I want them to be. That being said, I don't know, what I don't know! Meaning I don't know if my cables are limiting the performance of my system. I thought my power cords were the weak link. So, I tried Shunyata...

nordicnorm,Thanks for the recommendation. My friend sent me a pair of Audioquest Niagara cables that I should have tomorrow. I'll post my thoughts in a few days. 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
ctsooner,I own the Chord Dave and I’m not upset with you. I’ve own the PS Audio Directstream, Bricasti M1, and Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC. I’ll take the bass, mids, highs, and musicality of the Dave every time. I’m getting the Blu 2, which to my ears ... 
Dealers hijacking the discussions
I submit all any of us can do is recognize "awesome" to our own ears! That doesn't mean that our "ears" are absolute in determining what is "awesome" for someone else. The more "we" as audiophiles get that there are no absolutes in audio, only pre...

willemj,All of my interconnect cables are XLR. As far as snake oil, if you believe cables are snake oil, I support your opinion. My experience through listening in my own system, often using my wife or 12 year old son to discern any differences te...

auxinput,Thanks for your thoughtful response. Your comments are really spot on: "I'm wondering if the silver elements are working well in your system because the silver is compensating for the laid back ribbon tweeter. Maybe that's why you feel gr...
