Wait until you guys hear the new speaker cable medusa.. And also the analog cable
Thanks for the heads up ... This is good and not so good
Maslaka , have you heard the Medusa , compared it to any other S/C ?

Levi is here !!! Juicing my Vitus SS101 ...... Inserted two days ago , so still some way to go to come to optimum . Initial impressions .... Supercharger , Turbocharger, Afterburners to ON !!! .
Soundstage has exploded , all enveloping , walls pushed further apart . It's akin to opening a sluice , just an unimpeded flow to delivery with power power , effortless power . So relaxed , yet so controlled with all the speed and slam you'd want .Haven't as yet put on my Classical hat , as tone is yet to fully develop .
My initial assessment may seem overtly excitable , or the initial euphoria of a new component inserted .... Not in the least , it conveys precisely what I am hearing and experiencing. Am confident that anybody trying the Levi on power hungry components ,will agree with me . Will evaluate it on my preamp , DAC in time to come .
Stage 3 have hit the ball out the park with this one , plain off the charts !
Believe me I know what you mean and how you feel. I almost have exactly same observations. My two Leviathans are around 10 hours of usage as well as Krakens. I am sure they have more rooms of improvement perhaps until 300-400 hours. If your Leviathan is sitting over floor without a cable lifter, I recommend to use lifters. It makes a significant improvement, that also includes Krakens. Well, fitting Leviathan over Shunyata DF-SS was not easy, they weigh tons and ideal placement is trickier, weight distribution over lifters should be similar for optimum performance. These are my experiences at my system though. One may have his own views with cable lifters.
Number95 .... Sitting here with a stupid grin plastered on my face , like holy wowww! Good to have some validation though . All my cables have been lifted , so covered on that front . Have the Entreq AC wraps on them at either end , try them if possible ... They work well .
Can one have too much Levi ?? This initial uptick on delivery cannot possibly be exponential , my room will not be able to handle it.
Changed out the power cord to my Stage 3 Kraken... he said it's the last cord he will ever need to ever buy!
Well... loaned out one of my Kraken power cords to a friend who just bought an Audio Research Ref 40 preamp. He was running a Tara Labs Cobalt power cord and was not that impressed with the sound of his new preamp. Changed out the power cord to my Stage 3 Kraken... he said it's the last cord he will ever need to ever buy!
Looks like the Leviathans cords are mostly being used for feeding A/C power strips and power amps.

How long was the break in on your source gear?
I was just about to start a thread on Stage 3 Kraken power cords as I wasn't familiar with them and wanted to share my thoughts, thinking that others probably hadn't heard of them either.
Well I guess I was wrong! So let me add my voice to the chorus that these are the best power cords I have ever heard. They are very well balanced tonally, very clean sounding with good delineation of instruments in the sound stage.
Bravo!
Hi MadFloyd , as good as the Kraken are they pale in comparison, to big brother Leviathan . Do try compare given an opportunity .
Given the price of the Leviathan, I'd be very scared to try them. Do you find them best on amps or sources?
