WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER?
Calvinj, the Sim Audio evolution stuff is absolutely incredible very warm sounding and three dimensional. I have the p-8 W8 and I have not found anything way more expensive that sounds much better than this. Their amps and preamps are world-class ... 
$30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous?
Sorry I forgot to tell you what my system is. I have a SIM audio p8 W8 esoteric p10 transport wired for sound 10th anniversary dac monitor audio Platinum 200 ll. My interconnects are all Harmonic Technology OCC single Crystal their top-of-the-line... 
$30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous?
Before you go spending $30,000 on a dac which in my opinion is a big rip off go listen to the wyred for sound 10th anniversary. they give you a 30-day trial to try it out and if you don't like it you can send it back for a full refund. This is the... 
Harmonic Technology Interconnects
Unfortunately now with neoteck buying harmonic tech there's no customer service anymore in the United States even though the office apparently still open in California so I don't know if they make stuff there or not anymore but the problem is if y... 
Cable manufacturers?
PCOCC and UPOCC is the same. There are only three companies licensed to do the OCC process 2 in Japan 1 in Taiwan. One is not better than the other they're the same quality. 
How Harmonic Technology has fallen.........
Actually even when Jim Wang owned the company all the wire was supplied by neo tech in Taiwan to his specifications there's only three manufacturers of OCC single crystal wire, two are in Japan, the other in Taiwan which is neo tech but their pare... 
Jeff Rowland to what?
If you could find a Sim audio W8 on the used market I think you would be extremely happy. The problem is they're so good they don't come up very often. one was just on us Audio Mark but it's gone. That is still one of the top amps in the world. 
Jeff Rowland to what?
I'd like a y r e very much, but I found the simaudio amps even better. their preamp is phenomenal to but it's 40,000 which I think is crazy. 
Paradigm Persona series
I went to listen to the 7F. I really wanted to like the persona series being Canadian at all since I am Canadian. But that beryllium Tweeter and midrange are so bright and edgy sounding they don't sound natural at all. the monitor audio Platinum s... 
"Silence before the storm" review Monitor Audio Pl-500
I have the monitor audio Platinum 200 generation 2. And I can say without a doubt that this is one of the best speakers and its price range and even double and triple that I've heard. Much better than paradigm persona. but a guy on here audio Troy... 
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
If beryllium is so perfect why do the mids and highs sound so bright forward and edgy? I guess the people at paradigm can't hear very well. 
Harmonic Technology Interconnects
Actually soix, it was the other way around Robert Lee and Jim Wang were partners running harmonic tech and Robert Lee left to start acoustic Zen and his cables were no better but they were a lot more expensive and then when the second and third ge... 
Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!!
I'm glad somebody's finally getting it. I've been trying to tell people over and over again that OCC single crystal wire is far superior then anything ofc. And anybody that spends 30-40 $50,000 for a piece of wire is a sucker as far as I'm concern... 
Higher end value cables
You should try any OCC single-crystal cables. Ofc wire has Crystal fractures in it. 300 per foot. OCC has none in 700 ft. When the electrons flow through the wire in ofc they have to jump the little fractures which causes minor harmonics to shear ... 
Personas....7F vs 9H
Contuzzi, are you in la la Land somewhere, the 8 and 1/2 inch drivers are designed more intensely how do you do that. LOL
