Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect
I guess you'd have to listen to them both but zavfino buys all their OCC signal crystal wire from Neotech and Neotech has 10 engineers designing their cables, so I would definitely give them the edge, I use their flagship line which is the Sahara ... 
Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?
lalitk, No unfortunately I don't I use their top of the line stuff my speaker wire and interconnects are the Sahara rectangular copper OCC and my power cords are all the grand rectangular copper OCC, but anything this company makes is very very g... 
HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM?
calvinj, and just to add one more comment the guy in the US his system is worth well over $100,000 and in the review he names all his pieces, so Calvin you're as full as crap as you ever were like I said OFC is the cheapest wire on the market and... 
HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM?
grislybutter, Yes you definitely are confused and you don't know how to read very well, I said that the 861 sounded better in every area that's why the guy that owned the dagostino after one month comparing the 861 to the dagostino sold his D'Ago... 
HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM?
My upgrade path was the same as bassbuyer, I did it over time as well and my system is now worth $85,000 Canadian just upgraded my amp to the SIM audio 861 amplifier which just beat the dagostino momentum MVX-S250 in head to head testing for a mon... 
Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?
mclinnguy, Yes all those companies that you mentioned all get their OCC single crystal wire from Neotech in Taiwan and the reason for that is that Neotech was one of only three companies that were licensed to make OCC single crystal wire and they... 
Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?
Yes they definitely do, I have an esoteric P10 transport and I was using the harmonic technology 10 gauge round copper OCC power cord and it was excellent sounding, and then I upgraded to the NeoTech the Grand rectangular OCC copper and what a dif... 
What were your favorite gear additions in 2024?
SIM audio 861 amplifier, huge difference from my SIM audio w8 even as good as it is.  
Considering Gryphon Diablo 300 "OR" Simaudio 700iv2 ???
nyev, I've never heard or anyone say that SIM audio sounded cold hard and uninvolving maybe you should go read all the reviews on the 600i and the 700i maybe it was your cables or your speakers that are causing that problem, The sim gear is very ... 
Considering Gryphon Diablo 300 "OR" Simaudio 700iv2 ???
audioTroy, I think you better check your ears, Sim audio is anything but bright in fact it's very neutral so I wouldn't go blaming their amplifiers It's probably your cables or your speakers that are causing that brightness especially if you usin... 
Doozy of an amp question
just a little add-on comment I also believe that the sim audio 861 amplifier is better than the Macintosh amps.  
Jeff Rowland to what?
ricred1, you should definitely listen to the new SIM audio 861 amplifier It's phenomenal sounding not cheap though at 22,000 US.  
what dacs are fast, lively, energetic?
Try the Wyred4sound 10th anniversary DAC It's very analog sounding one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with the $5,000 Japanese cartridge and he said that the 10th anniversary DAC was every bit as analog sounding on that revie... 
Doozy of an amp question
I own the SIM audio 861 upgrading from a SIM audio w8, this amp is phenomenal it will go up against amplifiers in the 40 to $60,000 price range from other companies and be as good or better yes $22,000 is a lot of money but it is a lot better than... 
Burmester 218.....
plaw, Then obviously you haven't heard any sim audio because Simaudio left Classe in the dust after Dave Reich left their product is not ever been as good ever since and SIM audio just laughs at Classe now, they're not even in the same league any...
