Thoughts on Iconoclast interconnects?
The Audience FrontRow RCAs arrived and have settled in a bit now. I would say that almost everything I had read about them is what I am also hearing. The most appealing aspect of the cables is more spatial presence and a little bit wider soundtsta... 
Meitner MA3i DAC Review
Congratulations! Looks great on that stand. I have had my eye on the MA3i as well and will be keen to hear your comparison to the Bricasti (also my current DAC). Enjoy.  
Meitner MA3i DAC Review
@audphile1  Do you have an MA3i in house? If so, can you share any impressions relative to your Bricasti M3? Are you also using your Aurender via USB into the MA3i or are you also going to try the internal streamer? Curious to hear your thoughts. ... 
Thoughts on Iconoclast interconnects?
Quick update. I was deciding between the Zenwave D4 and a lightly used pair of Audience Frontrow RCAs. In the end, I decided to give the Frontrows a try. I can always resell them if they don't offer a clear improvement over the Iconoclast.   
Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades
@troutstreamnm The circuit boards are quite a bit different between level 2 and 3. I think it would be pretty clear if someone has level 3 just by looking through the perforated top panel. You can find pictures of the internals online.    Please ... 
Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades
Thanks for the feedback @smatsui . Seems like both you and audioman58 think it is a worthwhile upgrade. Just curious if you think it also sounded better with the XA25 or only the F7. Looking forward to any additional feedback from cbrez and thrift... 
Thoughts on Iconoclast interconnects?
@zlone thanks for the information on the silver. I think I an fairly neutral now so I don’t want to tip too far into the lean and analytical direction.   
Thoughts on Iconoclast interconnects?
Good to hear the AZ Matrix RCAs are working well in your setup @zlone  The Matrix or Silver interconnects are now on my list to try.  @cbrez Thank you for sharing your experience! It is even more valuable given that we have the same preamp and sp... 
Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades
@audioman58 I did see your comments and thank you for taking the time to share your positive impressions of the Level 3 upgrade. I am just wondering if anyone else that was in the queue ( @smatsui ​​@cbrez @thriftyaudio ) has heard the Level 3 yet?  
Thoughts on Iconoclast interconnects?
@v-fi I agree with your thoughts on Iconoclast and that an in home trial is the only way to really know what is going to be best in my system. I should look into the details of an in home trial with the brands I mentioned and possibly others. Give... 
Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades
Any updates? I am wondering if anyone else has had the opportunity to hear the Level 3 upgrade and compare it to Level 2?  
Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades
Perfect. Thanks for the information @thriftyaudio  Please let us know your thoughts on the upgrade when it is done.  
Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades
Sounds promising. I see the LTA site now has pictures of the new boards. Looks like they did away with the ceramic one. Overall, the parts look fairly similar to level 2, albeit now on 2 boards, so I am somewhat surprised the jump up in sonics is ... 
Meitner i upgrades
I am very intrigued by the upgraded M3Ai. I am currently using the 1 bit NDSD conversion path in a Bricasti M3 and overall really like the soundstage, dynamics, ease and leading edges. The Bricasti also has a very low background. Still, I know the... 
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
Thanks @lak , that is helpful and the type of information that is good to see. A product description can ultimately only get you so far, but more info. is always a plus in my book.
