@behzad  Here are my comments on the Arcadia and Fusion interconnects from last December. I hope these are helpful: Now that I have had three weeks to try out the Zavfino Fusion and Arcadia interconnects (as balanced XLRs), I wanted to update...

Nice bonus!

tomthiel - When I checked BJ's SDI section, they showed BNC connections as the only option for the 4694R cable. I assume they will terminate with RCAs if you call in a special order.

@tomthiel  What connectors are you using with the Belden 4694R cable?  
Zen mini mark III with lps or zen mark III
I faced this question a while back and chose the Innuos Zen Mk3. I've been very happy with the choice. The sound is clear and natural, and the Innuos Sense software is easy to use and optimizes sound quality. As carzmaguy88 pointed out, the Zen co...

jafant, I agree with Tom Thiel. I would not make any judgments about the source of Cardas copper based only on rumors. Angela Cardas states that their copper is mined in New Mexico. At this point, I have no reason to question that.

It was cool to see a CS3.7 at the bottom of the screen at 19:04 - 19:08 in Darko's Cardas video.

@decooney  It's been a while since I added Clear Reflection ICs to my system, and I don't recall specifics of the sound during break-in. Cardas cables do have a reputation for requiring fairly long break-in periods. I do remember that the ups and ...

@decooney  I'll be interested in your impressions of the Clear Reflection ICs this time around.  
Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed
@decooney  Like @jl1ny, I continue to use Clear Reflection XLRs between DAC and preamp and between preamp and mono block amps. I'm hoping to move the amps closer to the speakers so I can use shorter speaker cables, but that requires much longer in... 
Innuos Zen MK3 vs Aurender N100
When I bought my Innuos Zen Mk3, I considered the possibility of getting the Zen Mini instead. My dealer told me that he thought the sound quality of the Zen was a significant upgrade over the Mini and that the cost increase wasn't very large once... 
Innuos Zen MK3 vs Aurender N100
I have been very happy with the Innuos Zen Mk3 and the Sense app. I have not experienced any problems with Sense, although a few users reported early problems that have been resolved. I do not have any experience with Aurender, and I do not use Ro...

There are actually more facets to the Pepsi story. Look up the "Pepsi Challenge" on Wikipedia for several additional bits of information. The reason Pepsi started doing a single-blind Pepsi vs. Coke challenge decades ago was because Pepsi was oft...
