Anyone tried/heart Dcca Audio Speaker Cable?
Audioblazer,I have about 30 cm space between my rack and wall, but my power amp has only about 20cm depth. So with a bigger amp I guess at least 50 cm is needed. My two DCCA's are plugged in a Symphonic Line power conditioner and this works fine. 
Anyone tried/heart Dcca Audio Speaker Cable?
Hi guysThe Source on my Symphonic Line preamp really shook up my system ! In the positive sense ofcourse. Much more 'weight' and transparancy combined with musicality. Soundstage increased too without becoming too 'spectacular'. I have the Extreme... 
purist vs. concierto vs. elrod vs dcca power cable
A system can have 'fullness, warmth and transparency at the same time'. Mine does. Isn't that the real life situation?

Anyone tried/heart Dcca Audio Speaker Cable?
I received the PowerWave a few weeks ago. This surely is a very fine cable. I put it on my poweramp which now gives better lower, controlled bass and more transparant sound at the same tim. Sound has got more 'weight'.So I ordered the Source for m...

John,Thanks for the nice little review. I also had the chance to compare the Vermeil with the Gold and I preferred the former, because like you said the Gold lacked refinement at the top (not 'fresh' enough to my ears). It makes we want to evaluat... 
JADE AUDIO Cables
Update... I compared Jade's Vermeil Gold with XLO Limited Edition between my preamp and poweramp. Result: Vermeil is the better in my system: more musical, smoother but without loosing detail and transparancy. XLO LE is 'harder' but with a tad mor...

Thanks guys, it seems this cable could offer what I need at this moment.

I oredered a DCCA powerwave 3 power cord + DCCA speakercable. The combination of 'transparancy' and 'not edgy' interests me. 
Marigo Apparition 5.8 vs Revelations Audio Labs
I had the App 5.8 but I preferred the 5.6 (bigger soundstage) and finally replaced it with Kubala Sosna Emotion XLR digital. Don't know about the RAL. 
HDMI and Component
Meanwhile I ordered the Oppo 981 so I will go HDMI all the way. The Pio 427xd has arrived and I'm really very happy with it !

Last night two audiofriends and I had one of our audio-evenings. We compared the Vermeil with my friend's Cardas Golden Reference (between North Star DAC and Sphinx amp). Result: the Cardas was 'blown away' in terms of tranparancy, stage, weight. ...

LOLmust be 'sonical' ... BTW using a Gold cable definitievly moves you up the social ladder misschien moet ik het in het Nederlands uitleggen? 
JADE AUDIO Cables
I will give the Pure Gold a try, it will be ordered from JD. Will hear if the social difference will justifie the financial one, since the Vermeil really is a 'big hit' in my system. If other users of the Pure Gold would like to share their experi... 
Symphonic Line RG3 and built in phono amp
Well, they explained but I can't really describe it in good English. It seems there are about 5 or 6 pegs inside on the phonoamp to manipulate the load. All off = 1kOhm. But I'm no technical wizzard, so I will have to give it a try when the ZYX ar...
