Brahms & Brandon Flowers, a "killer" combination.I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Just finished listening to Brahm’s First Symphony with Otto Klemperer and the Philharmonia Orchestra. Great music, great performance, great sound! 😀and, yes, the black fuses did contribute to the experience.

Noun or verb? 
Who listens primarily to Redbook CD?
I like what Audio Note did. They listened to the available DAC chips and chose the Analog Devices AD1865 based purely on sound. When it was discontinued, they bought up all the remaining stock, so they wouldn’t be forced to change over to a sonica... 
Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus!
My second set of GCs is broken in and sounding great. One of the things that strikes me when listening is how easy it is to follow the individual lines of various instruments in complex music, much like it is at a live acoustic performance.

If you’re looking for a dedicated CD Transport, I don’t think you’ll find a better one than the CEC TL5, for the money (around $2000). Here are a couple European reviews:http://hifipig.com/cec-tl5-belt-drive-cd-transport/http://www.tg-acoustics.co...

I'm a big fan of Audio Note UK. I have a pair of their E speakers, and their original Kit 1.1 DAC in my system. I hope to get more/better AN gear in the future.I have never tried, or heard, their uber expensive silver ICs (Sogon, SOOTTO). However,...

Got them breaking in. They sounded really good right off the bat. 
Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus!
Yep, getting them today. I ran the first set between my DAC and pre, but, now that they're well broken in, I switched them to between my pre and amp. I'll put the new set between the DAC and pre. That way, they should break in faster, and I don't ...

Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Interesting. Bob has talked about not moving the PCs because of the special vibration damping ceramics. In that case, he said they take about a week to reset after being moved. Are you saying this applies to the ICs, SCs and digital, as well?
