High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Ddraudt, I have heard the Kraken compared with the Minatour in a system with my equipment. It literally made the Minatour sound like nothing but a cheap pc. I have often heard the Krakens with equipment at shows, which sounds great, especially at ...

Mapman, I have heard the HFC top ics and speaker wires on five systems now and never quite heard what I have on my two systems but nevertheless always heard a great improvement. In answer to your question about less expensive ics that work as well...

Himiguel, I don't understand what you are saying. 
Are WA-Quantum Chips even sold anymore?
Geoffkait, I finally checked and have only two types-those for speakers and for cablees. I thought that I would experiment with the cables ones this weekend. I know the speaker ones harm the sound of the BMC Arcadias. I need to get some for the fu...

Bo1972, I had the Nordost Valhalla about five years ago and thought it was pretty good. I even heard it agains the Odin and thought the Valhalla was better.I don't recall what these speaker wires cost, but they are cheap to make.Neither was in the... 
What is the best phono preamp you have heard?
I agree with Fremer, the BMC MCCI ($3890) is the best at any price. You ought to hear it with the HFC power cords.

Calloway, having the whole room light up with these cables, to hear the decay on each note, and to hear background musicians placed where they are and contributing clearly to the music is a place I've not been before.Leicachamp, I do wonder about ... 
What is the best phono preamp you have heard?
The Robert Koda K 10 is now the best I have ever heard, but one must provide the best power cord (HFC Ultimate Reference Rhodium)and the best isolation (Star Sound Tech Apprentics platform on a good base.

Mapman, I'm not interested in your "nonsense detector" as it is invalid.

Linkster, although the ribbon tweeter on the Arcadias is quite good, I do miss the diamond tweeter on the Tidals.Leicachamp, I put one on the HFC ac filter first, but the amp also was an improvement. There are two lessor pcs, the Ultimate ($6900) ... 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
Tonywinsc, Mapleshade use to make power cords that had ribbons whose draw was one way for the hot and the reverse for the neutral. I still have some somewhere in my boxes. Other companies copied them. Kondo use to make both silver and copper wire ...

Guys, I entirely agree. I've been climbing toward the peak of audio since the late 1950s and only got out of the foothills about four years ago and think I'm now near the peak.

Bo1972, more power to you if you can do this. The only convincing thing I ever hear at shows is demonstration of with and without a component. For example, I heard a demonstration of the Murata super tweeters. First they played nice speakers from ...

Bo1972, since there is no agreement on what is good, I don't understand how you make the judgment that many don't know what they are doing. 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
Almarg, I remember reading your response. I would take exception to the use of the word, "insignificant." This word does have one quite specific definition in sampling theory, but generally it is just dismissive. Since you are not talking about ra...
