| Essence®gZero6 Speaker Cables Yping - I've now used the gZero3 SC and gZero6 IC and SC on three different systems of vastly varying budgets - from $4k to $50k. Each time the I provements were very similar- improved bass controll and extension to the low end- improved dynamic p... | |
| Eichman RCA's - what makes them so good? Rja - I have tried all of the Harmony Plug range of products and they all perform better than the Eichmann Silver Bullet. See previous post.The Pure Harmony will provide the highest level of resolution. They all require around 150 hours burn-in, b... | |

| Who uses home brew cables? I've been making my own for many yearsI prefer WBT 4% Silver Solder - it's a great performer, especially on delicate tone arm wires.Best RCA's I've used to date are the Harmony Plug products from KLE Innovations - the Pure Harmony is fantastic at ... | |
| REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC Magnum - what power cable and interconnects do you use on the Dac-1?Thanks | |
| Eichman RCA's - what makes them so good? ZD542 - if you are going DIN to DIN you only need 3 conductors i.e. L signal, R signal and a neutralIf you are going DIN to RCA like I did then you need 4 i.e. signal + neutral for both L and R channelsThe NAIM pin diagram can be found in the manu... | |
| Eichman RCA's - what makes them so good? Zd542 - I was using Stager Silver Solids - each IC is a twisted pair (signal + neutral) - it has no screen. The wires are very thin so it was easy to put two cables (for L and R channels) into the DIN and have the RCA at the otherUsing a conventio... | |

| REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC Maudji - which one did you miss - Bifrost, Gugnnir or DAC-1?I guess which one you prefer depends on how much you are prepared to spend to get close to reality.Up until recently I had thought my $550 Bifrost was pretty darn close to my $1500 Moon L... | |
| REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC Mauidj - I think the DAC-1 may be the next level up in terms of sonic performance. The Schiit product that may be comparable is the Gungnir. Even so, the Gungnir is a pretty "basic" design in terms of functionality, but an excellent performer from... | |
| Magico S1 owners - speaker cable suggestions I'll second the gZero6!I took a pair of gZero2's to a friends house - he has the Magico V2's driven by an Ayre pre+power and they were very very good. Provided excellent control, smooth highs and fuller, deeper bass than the $$$Cardas cables he ha... |
