| Tekton Double Impacts Backing this up with evidence, is a recent experience between two Cardas XLR to RCA adaptors. Cardas carries two versions in their accessory line up. Differences between both adaptors with the same cables were readily and clearly apparent and my p... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @corelli That stood out for me as well. As you say, it's really quite remarkable. In Billy's case with the DIs. The SEs and Encores and Ulfberths take the same up a few more notches. | |
| Solid Silver Power Cord If solid silver is a must, Mike Powell's Verastarr silver builds are worth exploring and considering. | |
| Solid Silver Power Cord @thyname Correct, yet exceptional performance for the money and they do give you a ’solid’ helping of that silver goodness. If it’s within budget, I’d go for either of the two cables I mentioned over the Digital American...not because the DA isn’t... | |
