Signal Cable Analog 2
I like mine. Not as much as I like my Heimdall's, but they are good top to bottom and very dynamic. 
Synergy - how to get there
My experiences tell me that you can achieve synergy, or lose it, with just a single cable change on one component. Focusing just on my CD Player, changing one thing at a time and letting it settle for a couple of weeks each time, I lost much of my... 
Small monitors good at low listening levels?
Soliloquy 5.0's. I think there is a pair or two for sale now. Pulled out into the room they can sound terrific at low levels.Chris 
"romantic" sounding cabling
Nordost Heimdall IC,.. yes this Nordost in my system is very warm, yet quite resolved. Fleshes out voices very nicely and full deep bass presentation. Warmest and most romantic of the 12-15 IC's I tried.Also had a good experience with a Shunyata T... 
Nordost vs. Transparent...which is better?
I will weigh in with my experiences. I am currently auditioning a pair of Nordost Heimdal IC's on my CDP to amp and I am quite impressed. They don't sound anything like the Blue Heaven's that I previously tried which were somewhat thin and whitish...

I'm in Raleigh and would be interested in hearing other systems and sharing experiences.Chris 
Where to buy MDF board?
look at the VTI racks at racksandstands.comLess than $500 and look great! 
NAD C542 vs Audio refinement Alpha complete CDP?
I have the complete alpha CDP and what I would say is once you slap a decent power cable on it (Signal Cable Magic or $40 Soundstring in my case) it really becomes more alive and open sounding. No joke. Check my previous post about it a few weeks ... 
CD Player Transformed by Power Cable
Listened to the system using a demo Shunyata Taipan power cord last night. Very impressive results. I had fairly recently purchased the $40 Soundstring power cord to replace the Signal Cable Magic. It sounded pretty good overall, good bass and avo... 
Comparisons of Audience and VH Flavor 1 PC's
Stiffness is an issue also. I found the Signal Cable to be too stiff for my CDP, putting the connection under strain in my rack.How stiff are the VH and Audience cables in comparison? 
CD Player Transformed by Power Cable
I did try the anticables. I mostly liked them (twisted), but in my system they didn't do most things as well as the Mapleshades. I really like my music vibrant, rich in tone, and alive. I get all that and great bass too, so I put up with some sizz... 
CD Player Transformed by Power Cable
S7horton,Your system ("back to the basics") shows a different CDP and integrated?? Where are you using the Transparent Audio powercord.Are you using the stock power cord with your Complete CDP?I have good access to Cardas and Transparent Audio dem... 
Best Beau Jocque CD
thanks....not a zydeco purist, just like the fun music. I had "Git It Beau Jocque", but couldn't enjoy it fully because of the bright recording. 
Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371
My suggestion of a cheaper route to try (if you haven't already). CABLES. Quite frankly I've found with my Soliloquy 5.0's and my equipment, that I can vary the sound immensely with just a change of IC or speaker cables. Others may have other expe... 
Audio Refinement Complete owners: please advise
I am very happy with my Complete running Soliloquy 5.0 monitors. I've had it at very high levels and have heard some hardness and compression, but not to point of clipping. I do use rather lively and bass-solid cables, and have felt with some cabl...
