When is digital going to get the soul of music?

What I meant Boa2 was that the top ten interconnects were going to heavily favor older ones that have been superceded recently. I wanted to give a balance to someone who might use the answers for a purchase decision.

Let me disclose my personal relationship with Ori of Oritek Audio. I went to his house to purchase a pair of X-1's. I spent 3 hours listening to his system while waiting out rush hour. I then emailed him a bit, mostly criticizing his X-1's in my system. This turned out to be interaction problems with my Signal Cable Silver Resolution interconnects. He emailed me, saying if you want your PRAT, my X-2's have it. I went to buy them, and spent about 2 hours listening to his system while having my Nuforce's updated. I've emailed him since, raving about their sound. Is that a personal relationship?

"The old interminable and unresolvable LP versus digital car stereo argument." Lkdog, that's great! I didn't chose to put the forum here. Maybe the use of the word digital caused it to be put here?

Plato, I am still waiting on your response. You really helped me with the Signal Cable Silver Resolutions for the Nuforce. I trust what you say.

That's exactly the kind of information that gives perspective to a one sentence recommendation. Thank you.
