High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I'm sorry I wrote the above quickly when dinner was needing my attention.Ddraudt, I have heard the Crystal Absolute Dreams,which are $18,500 for 1.5 m ics, $29,000 for 2m speaker wires, and $10,000 for 1.5m pc. But never heard them in comparison w...

Ddraudt, I have heard the Crystal Absolute Dreams but not in comparison with the HFC Ultimate Reference cables which are $18,500 for 1.5 m ics, $29,000 for 2m speaker wires, and $10,000 for 1.5m pc. They are very good. I know of nothing else that ... 
WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips
I have yet to try the WA Quantum Chips on High Fidelity cables. Has anybody done so? 
Best Integrated, period.
Thankful, I too find this unit exceptional. Frankly, I found it hard to believe that it had an amp within. One feels little or no heat eminating from it. It works on my 86 db speakers as well as the 4 ohm load 93 db efficient speakers. I have yet ... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Guidocorona, hi long time no see. I think Schultz merely fines a smooth plating is needed and Rhodium allows it. I personally prefer berelium/copper but that has gotten hard to find in the US. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Charles1dad, I never thought I would say that either. They are quite different, but digital has gotten quite close, if not ahead.If as rumored, Sony transfers all it master tapes to quad DSD, master analog tapes will no longer be the definition of... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I don't know about the soul, but the High Fidelity Ultimate Reference Rhodium pc on the Exemplar eXpo T 105 mod of the Oppo 105, has a more realistic sound stage than my Lenco/Ikeda 407 with their 9TT cartridge/BMC MCCI vinyl. If you don't get goo...

Snook2, I did that once and initially thought the Ultimate were at least as good. Fortunately, I put the URs back and gave them more time. They are clearly better and ought to be given their price. Don't try them if you cannot buy them. 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
Audioman58, SR claims they zap them both ways on the Tesla coil and thus it doesn't matter. But now I guess they do recommend what I've always found best. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Stringreen, true but it is an art that can be acquired. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I have had the BMC Arcadias now for over a year. I knew they are very good as they reveal differences in every cable, isolation device, and ac filtering I have done. Yesterday I heard a sound reproduction that I never would have believed possible....

Ddraudt, I must say that yesterday I had really the first instance where something was jaw dropping. I got several HF power cables. We put one in prior to the HF Magnetic Waveguide power filter, listened briefly and went to lunch. On our return Ri... 
Fuses that matter.
Audioman58, I used to double check on rule of following the lettering as the current flow. In six trials that sounded better than the opposite. I will also note that I have always found the little WA fuse chips help the SR fuses if put on the cent... 
Wire differences explained common sense
Schubert, as rare as unicorns! I like that. You will very seldom, if ever, hear a scientist say something just makes common sense.However, I do trust my ears. Using an alloy like mu metal, the High Fidelity cables have higher resistance and encour... 
Wire differences explained common sense
Common sense is usually untrue. It is a meaningless concept. In my experience, I have had two where the cables were identical save for the metal used. One was Audionote and the second Exemplar Portals. In both cases I preferred the silver. What do...
