ASR Emitter II Exclusive question

Mantis: The comparison was done on my EmmLabs CD player.

I'm a more than happy owner of an ASR Emitter II Exclusive driving a pair of B&W 802D and the source is a superb EmmLabs CDSA SE with the last transport. I agree with those who consider the Direkt Input as the best sounding input. So, I urge to change my AudioQuest Sky XLR interconnects. Any suggestion? Paul: what RCA cable are you using or intend to use after your testing?

Cheers

I compared the balanced vs the direct input using the same type of cable (2 AudioQuest Sky, one XLR and another RCA). No doubt that the direct input is sounding more natural and relaxed.

On another matter, did anyone tried to change the power cords powering the two Power Stations (i.e., the two PCs from the PS to the wall)?

Mantis: Thanks for your suggestions. As far as speaker cables, are you using the JPS with a JPS jumper? Another curiosity: were did you put the 4 ASR boxes?

Casouza: Indeed, you are right, but they are called "Magic power cords". Already another ASR user told me about changing the stock PCs (he has now the Aural Symphony) with better results. Myself I tried to test the Magic cord (the one with the standard IEC used to power the ASR battery) against other aftermarket PCs (Silent Source and White Gold) and the impression is that the Magic cord is not up to the level of the other cords. They sound less relaxed than the other two cords being harder in the extreme frequency ranges. So, I'm also considering changing them. I think it's worth trying.

By the way, thanks for your suggestions we exchanged via email. You were absolutely right!
