I don't think of this as an issue of synergy but rather to simply choose the product that most greatly brings forward the sonic attributes that are most important to each of us. For some it might be the ultimate in top-end extension and resolution, for others it may be all about decays and harmonic textures, or low-end extension and dynnaics. And keep in mind, we are "tuning" a system, not simply a preamp or a power amp or source component. Everything in the system, including the room, affects everything else.

Jafox (Threads | Answers) The word, synergy, is getting too much spotlight in these threads lately. John, this quoted paragraph pretty much sums it all up for me. Nicely stated. |
Try the new Purist Audio Aqueous powercable. I did a lot of investment in cables. Tried many in my system. But this one knocked me down. For poweramps the best I've effer heard. When you are looking for the highest resolution for a pre-amp, source or conditioner try a Nordost Valhalla. Because I will let you hear things no other cable can do. |
LEONX: The new Shunyata Python Helix works very fine with sources as well (in my oppinion it exceeds the qualities of the previous (non Helix) Anaconda VX - at least when connected to my DV-50 S). Haven´t tried the PAD you mention.
I was told recently that the two pin version of the EG E X(Schucko wall plug) differs due to the fact that it is grounded (more focussed and tight, quieter + better baseline) from the US ICE wall plug. Don´t know if that is true but probably thats the reason why my listening impressions with that particular product differ slightly from yours. |
