| Cable Question I had a friend that used to own them. They sounded quite good in his system. I think for a pure silver cable, Audiodyne was a steal. No way you could build that quality today at that price. | |
| Acoustic Zen vs. Nordost - wchich one to choose? AZ sounds a lot like Harmonic Tech (where it came from) IMO. Nordost is different sonically, warmer and perhaps more musical. AZ cables are airier on the top. Depends on system. Try both and compare yourself. | |
| Cable Question Audiodyne? They went out of business a few years back. Last I heard they were bought out by Syncronous Systems in Minnesota. | |
| straightwire crescendo vs acoustic zen, cardas? I have tried both. Zen is a bit sterile and Cardas is bloated in my system. I currently use Pure Note which is superior to both brands IMO.

| Interconnects: Silver, Copper or Silver Plated? I believe Nordost and Pure Note use cladded silver/copper. This is not the same as a thin plating. By definition cladding is two pieces of metal fused together. In both the mentioned brands, sonics are much clearer than pure silver alone IMO. Of c... | |
| Kimber cable - good or bad? I think Ray Kimber builds great stuff BUT there is always better for the same price or less. I just sold my Bi-focals for Pure Note Reference Bi-wire. The Reference is much more defined with better imaging in my system. Also quality WBT ends. Buil... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Cables do make a difference in better systems. You can hear it. When you consider the cost of materials and labor some brands can justify the price although $7500 is a bit steep. I think <$1000 for interconnects is all you have to pay if you fi... |
