    CrystalConnect Art Series Da Vinci - Best Cables of 2020

    “Your system will sound best if you use the same brand and to be best the same series of cable in your whole set” This is the concept that I always receive from audio cable manufacturing and some of well-known worldwide set up guys and reviewers. To share with you all here, I did have a great...

    CrystalConnect Art Series Da Vinci - Best Cables of 2020

    Hi Pweg, Thanks for the information. Can you provide more detail? Which cable did you replace TC with Da Vinci? How is the bass performance of DV comparing to TC?

    CrystalConnect Art Series Da Vinci - Best Cables of 2020

    Hi CKKeung, Thank you for your information. I am in search of the new interconnect between Vivaldi DAC and Dan Pre amp. Currently, the dealer lend me Siltech Triple crown IC which is the best by far, at least in my set, comparing to Nordost Odin2, Transparent Opus, MIT Oracle MA-X SHD, and...

    CrystalConnect Art Series Da Vinci - Best Cables of 2020

    Many thanks for the report. If you have more specific result between Triple crown and Crystal Da Vinci please update it for our friends here. Looking at cable geometry, my friends in Thailand expect TC to produce more body/bass while Da Vinci to produce more high and smoothness. We commit our...

    Reality is Cruel : Cybershaft new Ultimate OCXO 10M Clocks Shootout OP20 vs OP17

    No hurry. Just to keep it in my wishlist if it is worth my network switch upgrade. As I notice you have a Denali like me, you may be interested. Now I prioritize my focus to an upgrade from Shunyata Denali+Sigma HC to Everest+Omega XC. Just heard the Omega XC a few days ago. It is such a...

    Reality is Cruel : Cybershaft new Ultimate OCXO 10M Clocks Shootout OP20 vs OP17

    Wow, congratulations on sound improvement. Please tell me your impression of the OP21A purely on the network switch, if you get a chance as I am planning on buying SOTM network switch which has clock input as well. Many thanks in advance.

    Reality is Cruel : Cybershaft new Ultimate OCXO 10M Clocks Shootout OP20 vs OP17

    Thank you for your feedback. Yes, it is impossible for G1 to be that great; 3X against OP21A. I would hope for 30% to justify the purchase. Unfortunately, we do not have Cybershaft distributor in Thailand, so it is difficult for future upgrade and perhaps services. That’s why, I consider...

    Reality is Cruel : Cybershaft new Ultimate OCXO 10M Clocks Shootout OP20 vs OP17

    I notice that Esoteric clock can also apply GPS syn but even the distributor in Thailand has no idea about it. Is it costly to add into a home audio system?

    Reality is Cruel : Cybershaft new Ultimate OCXO 10M Clocks Shootout OP20 vs OP17

    SCAudiophile, Thank you very much for your detail explanation. Also, thanks to CKKeung and oldmustang. Maybe this is the answer I keep asking myself why I never see such a system using dCS Vivaldi with Esoteric clock. In Thailand, 80-90% of Vivaldi owner only use its own clock while a few...

    Reality is Cruel : Cybershaft new Ultimate OCXO 10M Clocks Shootout OP20 vs OP17

    Thank you Steve. I once believe the mismatch ohm is significant as well even with the bnc cable and its connector until I heard from Esoteric that it is no big deal. Seems like I need to find more information about this before purchasing Grandioso G1. Have you ever used other 10MHz clock...

    Reality is Cruel : Cybershaft new Ultimate OCXO 10M Clocks Shootout OP20 vs OP17

    Thanks for information. I have Esoteric G-02 at home now for trial it sounds good so far but I am reluctant to purchase the G1 as I am afraid it may not work perfectly due to mismatch ohms output & input.

    Reality is Cruel : Cybershaft new Ultimate OCXO 10M Clocks Shootout OP20 vs OP17

    Thank you Jpspock. Yes, the Esoteric Grandioso G1 is about 3 times price of Cybershaft Op21 but if it is a noticeable upgrade, then it is good to go.

    Reality is Cruel : Cybershaft new Ultimate OCXO 10M Clocks Shootout OP20 vs OP17

    Hi all, thank you to all members in this thread for sharing 10MHz clock knowledge. I have learned a lot here. In my area, I get a chance to have Mutec Ref10 SE120 for home audition with my Vivaldi setup. It is a wonderful product especially when we consider its price tag. However, a few of...
