Problems with Mapleshade cables

I don't what or how you drink has to do with it.
In MY system ZE Gede and MIT CVT 2 IC's were way better than Mapleshade IC and DNM Reson SC ,among others, better than his wire.

Nonoise, have you listened to any of the Omega Mikro ics (Mk VI and Mk VII in my case) or the planer speaker cables in your rig? I find them a quantum improvement over the Mapleshade Excaliber ics or double helix speaker cables. As good as the Analog VI ic is the Analog VII just gives you more, spacial resolution, timbre accuracy and coherence. Goodness knows what you get as you get into the directional cables with the bias boxes, haven't heard them, yet! I've never remotely experienced this level of improvement from any other cable including Stereovox, Vahalla, Harmonic Technology, Audience, Cardas, MIT. I would venture a guess that too much of this may not be the best solution in an otherwise transparent revealing system, use judiciously.

I really like the $5 power strip sitting on the top of a block of wood...

Tubegroove, No, I haven't had the pleasure of trying the Omegas. They looked tempting. As for speaker ribbon cables I believe Ed Shilling over at Hornshoppe Horns still uses them and back when I had his Horn single drivers, he offered to make me a pair, saying they were easy to make and very good compared to what's out there. As I recall, they weren't that expensive either. Maybe I should look him up.......

All the best,
Nonoise

Say what you want about Mapleshade, but at least the company has the courage, conviction and belief in the performance of its products to offer a 30 day money back. Name me other cable manufacturers willing to do that? Personally, I've owned most of the other high end cable stuff, and to my ears, Mapleshade IC's and speaker cables outperform all others; it's sad to read the sometimes naive and premature judgement placed on this brand by others who have absolutely no listening experience with it.
