Whats a good all around digital cable for under $250. I only need half a meter.
Thanks for your input but a silver might be to "shrill" on the top for my system. My speakers go to 100hz. I need something that will smooth out the highs, round them off.  
Stello ai500 Integrated amplifier?
Hope I'm not to late for this blog but how would the Stello stand up next to a good tube amp? 
Nad M51 + usb conditioner?
Couldn't you just use the HDMI input from computer to NAD M51 instead of the USB? 
Attachments for a Nad M51? New to Digital.
That's something my mother would say. 
April Music Stello Ai500 or Esoteric AI-10 Integ.
The Stello Ai500 has 300 watts at 4ohms, the Esoteric AI-10 has 150 watts at 4ohm. Both have DAC's. The Esoteric AI-10 might have a better DAC. So better DAC or more wattage?

Best Phono amp under $2000.
The Liberty and the Musical Surrounding Nova looks interesting. Has anyone compared it's sonic signature to the other phono amps I'm looking at? How does the Nova sound compared to the Liberty or even the Sutherland 20/20? There's not any Audio st... 
Review: DNM HFTN Speaker cable
What cables have you compared them to? Have you ever tried Mapleshade or Synergistic Research? I have thousands of dollars worth of SR. Is trying them worth my while? They're expensive too. 
Has anyone heard the DSPeaker?
Rodge,I spoke with Tim, now I get it. 
Has anyone heard the DSPeaker?
Rodge,Thanks for the fast reply. I don't think the DNM HFTN cables will do me any good. I have Pioneer/TAD S-3EX speakers which are on the warm side. I need to bring out the middle and treble highs just a bit more. You did say you were using these...
