High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Branislav, yes. Only the speaker wires. 
WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips
Geoffkait, as a scientist, I'm always seeking a theory that would suggest where something might work best. With jade quartz I have largely given up. Isolation devices, however, cannot be ignored.

Calloway, just when my CT-1U speaker cables had reached a point where I was hearing subtleties heretofore unheard, I got the CT-1UR speaker cables in. They had been burned in and sounded great for the first two hours. Then they went down hill for ...

Geoffkait, yes trial and error is about the only way to proceed. I might add that things change. I used to find the cable Chips worked but with new cables this is no longer true. This is much like pieces of jade. In some places the have great bene...

Glory, what is going on with you? All this negativity.

Yes, I'm in NM with my HF Ultimates and the Thales. 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Charles1dad, I have experienced four instances where new cables had some major innovation. First was the use of silver wire rather than copper. I really am uncertain which company's silver wires were my first, but I was sold. Next came the Van der...

I think you are grossly premature. I find the Thales easy to use, less expensive, and musical, which for me means easy to listen to. Realism, however, is another question, however. Magnetic conduction is evolving and thus far each step has been a ... 
Have you tried SILCLEAR from Mapleshade?
I used the Walker Audio silver based contact enhanser for a long time and did try that by Mapleshade's product also. Goo Be Gone, which is orange based also works. But it is really Audiotop Connect 3 that think is best. This oil is the last step i... 
Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh?
While I have owned a McIntosh model 78 tuner which I got on a trade for my Marantz 10B and thought it was okay, I have never had any interest in McIntosh equipment. I remember involvement with guys selling McIntosh new speakers going to the hotel ...

It has been some time since I have heard the Teo cables, but frankly after that listening, I lost interest. They were no rivals for the Exemplar Silver Portals and the Exemplars lost out to the HFC Enhanced, which in turn lost to the HFC Ultimates... 
Best Integrated, period.
There are benefits to integrated, namely not having to drive cables to the amplifier and perfect matching of the line stage with the amplifier circuit. I have seldom used integrated electronics, but recently have been asked to beta test a unit. I ... 
Tidal Speakers owners
Calloway, when you get it, do the experiment of one being longer, which will mean that one will not be in contact. I should say that with the Ultra Five, unless they are screwed into something, such as a speaker, the Ultra foot, or the StillPoints... 
Tidal Speakers owners
Calloway, I think the Ultra Fives having five of the "technology" units versus one in the Ultra SSs, is the key. The Five have five time the vibration absorption. The LPI record weight is really the Five without a base. It is not better science, i... 
Fuses that matter.
This is all ridiculous. The fuse leaked and the fuse blew. One thing may relate to the other but not necessarily. There is not much engineering in fuses. The filament needs to be sufficiently thin to blow with at the rated current. If it is slow b...
