Review: Stealth Audio Cables Varidig Sextet Reference Interconnect
Rja, I'm glad that you to have found the Sextet really adds something special to one's overall system. Would you be nice enough to share what digital pieces, along with rest of your gear, you have in your system. I'm always interested in how diffe... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Branimir, thanks for the kind holiday greetings, hope very much that you enjoy the holidays too. If I remember are you coming to the states/going to the CES in January? When you get your Stealth Sextet cables next month, I believe you will find th... 
Hey, we don't get no respect
Fatparrot, this subject was already explored in my post entitled, "Why are audiophiles percieved as wackos", which had many lengthly and well written perspectives on this topic. So, if your curious enough to start this thread, you might enjoy goin... 
The $40K question on front ends
Macallan25, take look at a thread I started, "Reference DACS: An overall perspective", that will give you much detailed information regarding the sonics/flavors of reference level digital front ends and which comes the closet to what your descrbin... 
Anybody hear the Epiphany Audio 12-12's?
711smilin, heard them at the first Rocky Mountain Audio Fest when they were showing with Edge Electronics. Carefully listened, I'm a fan of Edge, used to own an NL-10 amp, and thought that the 12-12's were ok at best nothing special. They kinda we... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Exlibris, I just got through reading your extremely well written review of the Sextet. I'm relieved that you came to the same conclusions regarding the sonic beauty of this cable as I did and that I was not exaggerating/magnifying totally out of p... 
Help-IC's needed AU or AQ
Attilasimon, since you said you might be interested in other possible suggestions, I would recommend that you put on your audition list either Accoustic Zen Silver Reference II's or Matrix reference II's. I have listened to cables from the two oth... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Exlibris, besides that I always take a very skeptical view of all reviews, I would agree with what Branimir stated and add the following two points: 1) Without coming across as an audiophile "snob" I don't have to much respect for Potis' overall s...

Tvad, would you be nice enough to share the following information concerning the Empirical Audio mod of your EMC1-UP SE: 1) What parts do they replace in the process.2)What is the cost for the mod.3)What sonic improvements/differences between the ... 
Need help with preamp purchase
Chadaudio816, I would recommend you put on your audition list the Placette dual active line stage. It retails for $4500.00, but you can ask Guy Hammel, designer/owner of Placette, to build you one with balanced connections for a slight increase in... 
EMC-1UP SE interconnect?
Johnmcalpin, I'm interested in what you heard regarding the sider clamp. I know from direct experience that it brought the performance of my girlfriend's player to a higher level, without any downside that I could hear. So, is this concern somethi... 
"Air, Extension, Resolution" Music or Hi Fi?
Cwlondon, I have had MG-20's for over a decade and never found them to be "unmusical or lacking emotional involvement" at all. They just get better and better with finer gear upstream in my system. Yes, the ribbon tweeters are very revealing, but ... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Exlibris, my experience was that it was immediately superior to my old reference cable right from the moment I put it in my system. If it did improve, and I'm sure it did, it was a subtle change towards total brake in without steep/dramatic stops ... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Exlibris, thanks for the "WOW" for now. I'll find it very interesting what it will do with your Meitner gear and how you will describe your "take" on what it does sonicly in your system. As you know, I'm quite a fan of this cable and thought it wa... 
DartZeel compared to Pass Labs XA-160/200's
Silentrunning, without being unpleasant about it, your response is totally irrevelant to the question I asked. I find it annoying , regardless of the topic of the thread, when someone only wants information concerning specific gear and someone bri...
