Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000
If you want 'musical' cables the best IMO is copper ribbon cables, where the positive and negative legs are sandwiched together, separated by only a thin layer of double sided sticky Teflon tape.You get a little bit of HF roll off, but in return e... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
You see a lot of flavour of the month type cables lines come and go. The reason why HFC is still getting good reviews is because it truly is good.Some may disagree with the technical theory behind what Rick is doing, but at least he has brought so... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I have tried HFC cables in a few systems now. Their strengths are they just let the signal come through with the least distortion and coloration compared to other cables.So keeping this in mind, my experience has been to start upstream at the sour...

Petieboy your TEO is an XLR and High Fidelity are not doing an XLR yet. You need to be clear on that in your other posts. It's an apples to oranges comparison depending on the equipment.The CT-1 is good, but cannot be compared to the CT-1E in a go... 
Fuses that matter.
You can't go wrong with the AMR, because they are such good value as a three pack. But the SR20 fuses are just the best imo.My theory as to why the SR fuses are so directional, is that going by the minimal information available, Synergistic use a ... 
Recommendations for a "summer" amp?
The Luminance Audio KST-150. It is a high speed, high bandwidth mosfet amp. It runs very efficient like a digital amp and is cool to the touch, but its sound will blow any digital amp out of the water.In fact you will probably not want to put your... 
XLR cables that sound bold, natural, real..silver?
Antipodes Audio make very good XLR cables. 
Anyone try Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs?
All my Lorad cables use the rubbish Supra connectors though, and the Cabledyne has the Wattgate's so its not truly an apples to apples comparison I admit. 
Anyone try Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs?
I have said this before in another thread, the Supra Lorad 2.5 is the best cable I have come across for removing RF from my computer PC box, but for AV systems it is not good.If you are in this price range, stretch to $150 for the Cabledyne copper... 
Amazing Upgrade for Oppo 93/103 and CA Players
While we are listing tweaks, one that is very good is the Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX. I got the idea from EVS (Tweak Audio) oppo mods page.You connect it to your IEC terminals, it uses power to create some sort of ambient field that treats everythin...

How long did you think the Ultimate Interconnects take to break in? The interconnects have a magnetic module that is way smaller than what is found on the Ultimate speaker cables.I'm presuming the size of that module is what accounts for the exten... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Vandersteen 7. Best I have heard so far, but on the back of a full DCS/Ayre system and a carefully setup room. 
Amazing Upgrade for Oppo 93/103 and CA Players
If you only use HDMI, then you can disconnect the power from the audio board and isolate it completely. 
Spectral DMA 400 initial impressions
The Spectral press release claims the new DMA 400 is a huge breakthrough. Only subtle differenced compared to a 360s2 ?? 
Amazing Upgrade for Oppo 93/103 and CA Players
Nice find Acostas, I just ordered one to try out.I just hope its real Mundorf silver/gold wire. I have used that wire before to jump fuses and it works very well on the power side of things.
