You're not a true audiophile unless...
For me an audiophile just means a person that likes audio a bit more than the average person, regardless of gears. If someone really enjoys the taste of wine I call them Winephile. If they drink it everyday I call them an alcoholic 😅🤣😅

@v-fi Great write-up!  
Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
If you’re friends and he doesn’t know you have the same hobby. Are you really friends? I hardly doubt it. If I met someone and they try to hide the fact that they also have a dedicated system of their own, that would probably be my last invitatio...

Note to self and maybe to others. I will note down on the sound of Veritas cables and how they may or may not change every 10 hours and see when they stop changing.   Also, Veritas has publicly stated their Argentum has fantastic synergy with th... 
Audio envy - dang!
Question about the Ocean Expand power cable, the upgrade says +$50, +$100, +150 respectively. Is the upgrade per cable $50 or are those different upgrade choices?   It feels odd to order 1 cable and have the option to upgrade 3? Maybe it's sort ...

@pokey77  From all that I've read about AE, their cables (especially PC) feel like audio cheatcodes.

@lalitk Thanks for your reply. I cannot respond back in the PM so I think I’ll do it here. Zavfino was my #1 choice but I ended up going with Veritas cables. For power cords, AE looks fantastic and that will be my plan going forward.

@wig  I have the Argentum X cable which is the xlr cable and it is pure silver occ. Does not sound like a silver cable at all. It sounds supremely balanced and open. I cannot speak more until I have a better speaker cable (the Aperta is coming). ...

Received my Argentum X today. High quality cable. The connectors are especially stunning. Deep red color and the pure-silver pins have that beautiful shine. Waiting for the speaker cables now.

From talking to Veritas via emails, they said the Argentum IC has fantastic synergy with their speaker cables. The speaker cable is of a slightly different makeup than the Aegentum, I have a hunch this could strengthens the Argentum's traits. I a...

@v-fi  Looking forward to your experience. I've just bought the Argentum X (XLR). I've also pre-ordered their speaker cables from the next batch. Feeling tremendously good about this company and their products.  Have never owned cables this expe...

Your comment about companies having uninspiring entry and mid-price options is right on the money.  I think Veritas should have a new company name. It's very hard to find them on google, I still haven't found the actual company.   
Which power cord should you buy first
It pays to experiment, but with my specific gear, power cable was better on the source first.   
What exactly is PRaT???
I know a bit of what PRaT is. I’ve also experienced it, A writer once wrote "PRaT can take decades to understand". He might be right, PRaT indeed is a hard thing to understand because it is not just 1 thing. From what I’ve experienced, PRaT - at ...
