HiDiamond Speaker Cables
Calloway,I just had a look at your system. Do you still have your EMM? 
HiDiamond Speaker Cables
Calloway,Thanks for the suggestion. Once I put the finishing touches to my system I intend to do that.

Fplanner2000,I agree. A power regenerator makes a huge difference. If you put an isolation transformer in front of it you will hear an even bigger improvement in SQ. 
HiDiamond Power cords...
Bacardi,The SR MPC wires are driving me nuts. I have limited access behind my system and have to suck in air to get behind there and try to untangle things. I will eventually have a large listening room. Eventualy.I run SR in series with HiDiamond...

Calloway,I have pics. How do I upload them? 
How much can be measured -- and how much cannot?
Audioman58,I think Albert Einstein knew what he was talking about. 
HiDiamond Speaker Cables
Stevepo,Almost everyone else thinks so too. Who cares. They have no idea because they have no experience with it -- only opinions. Exactly -- it's like mixing colors. Except in this case it is mixing the best of 2 cables and getting something bett... 
HiDiamond Speaker Cables
Stevepo,For instance: I run speaker cables in series -- Cardas and HiDiamond. But I splice them into SR speaker cells in series with Bybee GG speaker bullets. If I try to take out the speaker cells they go back in fast -- unlike the SR interconnec... 
HiDiamond Speaker Cables
Stevepo,I run cables from Bybee, Cardas and SR in series with HiDiamond cables. The results are superior with cabling in series vs. using cables singly. I also splice Bybee purifiers into the mix. This is rather complicated and expensive -- and I ...

Stevepo,The HD8's give the same "being-there" feeling that all HiDiamonds do in my system. But I enhance the effect by running all my cables in series so my system is a-typical.

I find HiDiamonds are more life-like than SR. It is not that SR cables are bad -- some are very good. It is just the sense of realism that is missing. I have not heard the Elements yet so I cannot comment on them. 
Cary 805, deHavilland or Atma-Sphere? Anyone cares
Dracule1,I cannot comment on the M-60. I have the S-30 so my remarks are related to it.You stated:"First, speaker choices are limited to those that are 8 ohms or higher, which have been pointed out. Using an Speltz autoformer for speaker/amp imped... 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
For anyone who may be interested in a near-mint DP-777, I may be upgrading to the CD-77 soon. 
Transformers .. Is It Just Me?
Hifigi,Your experience is very interesting. The medical grade isolation transformer that I use is torroidal. 
Recommendations on a power regenerator?
I have a medical grade isolation transformer that cost only $350 and you can get them for less. It gives stunning results. I believe balanced may not be necessary in spite of all the built-in assumptions about it which are self-serving.
