Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM mmi monitors Monitor
Egidius, For ICs I am using Cardas Golden Cross in series with Mogami AES Gold and Synergistic Research Acoustic Reference. I find that these 3 ICs in series blow away any single IC or any 2 ICs I have tried. I also have Synergistic Research Galil...

Hi Egidius, Thanks for clarifying. That changes everything. What cabling are you using with your Merlins?

Hi Lak, Brf and Egidius, Thank you very much. Sorry, I should have mentioned these are the TSM-MMi WITH MASTER RC's. 
Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE V Furutech GTX
Flashunlock, I have not used any other wall receptacles except the stock wall receptacle I was using before. I now use a Tesla Plex SE, then a Tesla Plex in series, then an SR PowerCell 10SE in series. There are 2 PCs in series, as well, in this c... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE V Furutech GTX
The Tesla Plex in series with the Tesla Plex SE betters anything I have used before 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I am using the Gray on my PR power cord with very good results. There is a very distinct difference between the 3 Enigma circuits. 
Inexpensive speaker cable for Merlin
I tried Supra Sword ICs with my Merlin TSM mmi monitors. Nothing to write home about -- until I put them in series with 2 other high end XLR ICs. They elevated the other 2 ICs beyond my expectations. I would never go back to using the Sword ICs al... 
Is berkeley dac as good as absolute sound review?
Hi Tbg, I agree. One has to read reviews carefully. It is very rare when one reads a negative review. Where are all the negative comments going? Suppressed. Reviewers often put a patina on the products when they write about them. My experience is ... 
Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
Flashunlock, Thanks very much for all the info. I'm very interested in reading your impressions since I do not have the opportunity to audition equipment. I have to put my system together using my audio imagination only. Please let me know what di... 
Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
Flashunlock, Thanks for all the info. You mention "you loose something for something." Please let me know more about the SR Galileo speaker cells. I'd also be interested in hearing your impressions of the MPS-5. 
Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
Flashunlock, My CDSA SE sounded flat before I did all the tweaking. Now it is 3D holographic and full of life -- like you could shake the performers' hands and thank them right in the room. I am more than amazed. Do you mean you sold your XDS1 or ... 
Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
Pubul57, I have never heard the XDS1 so I cannot make a direct comparison. What I can do is describe my experience with the EMM CDSA SE. It had relatively flat sound out of the box but it now has an incredibly detailed 3D sound stage -- beyond the... 
Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
Dgad, "But the generation after EMM products did not sound to my liking."Do you mean the X upgrade and the XDS1 were not to your liking? If so, what did you not like? I have not heard them. "On a different note: the new EMMs use a discrete output ...
