@geoffkait , I stand corrected. Regarding Orea’s, there’s no tech on their website. Anybody know what’s inside/speculate on what’s inside them. I’m Not usually a big fan of rubber but these work.

@mattnshilp , seems Shun Mooks are a bit Marmite from what I gather, you either love or hate them. I’ve been offered some to test out but waiting on your response because at this stage I’m not that positive about them, I think there are more inter...

@geoffkait, I know somebody in the U.K. who recently had both the Minus K and Stacore side by side in his system for evaluation. The long and short is that he thought the Stacore worked better in his system and he now has four. Active vs passive s...

Yes, thanks. That was a good summary. The mystery is that users report that the CS footers take a while to “burn in”, up to 7/10 days apparently and before that point, they sound terrible. Sounds like some sort of annealing process going on due to...

@neoshah, what make of balanced isolation transformer are you considering? Probably best to keep analogue and digital separate?

@mattnshilp, we’re your tests done with the Symposium Superballs or the standard tungsten balls?

@mattnshilp, I have the IsoAcoustics and Symposiums on the way. How are you finding the Shun Mook’s? My guess is that they won’t be as neutral?

@geoffkait all their equipment is bling, like these pc’shttps://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Dalby+audio+power+cable&client=safari&hl=en-gb&prmd=si...:Very expensive, sort of Skogrand territory I think. I’ll stick to Sablon, affordable S....

I believe they are not offering those ones, the current model uses a type of hardwood. I’m not a dealer or have any interest in Dalby, although that may change if they are worth the money. They make cables as well but mucho expensive.

Just got off the phone to Dalby, they do still exist and they seem to be doing rather well outside the U.K. One of their many products is a footer at £3.5k a set.
