    BetterCables Silver Serpent Air Interconnect?

    I have tried Better cables speaker cables and blue truth xlr’s. The company is friendly and easy to work with. They have taken returns back from me no problem. I think for the price they are pretty good. I needed a temporary holdover cable for a 7M run and they seemed to be pretty good.

    Opinions about Cardas Clear and Cardas Clear Beyond

    I now have a set of Cardas Clear Beyond interconnects. I demoed many cables from Nordost, shunyata, etc. The Shunyata sigma v2 is really good and I almost bought it because its resolution and clarity is absolutely insane. But in my system the Cardas had better bass and more importantly it...

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - The Official Thread

    Revel Salon 2, McIntosh MC611 amps, McIntosh C12000 preamp soon, Cardas Clear Beyond XL power cables, Transparent gen 6 super and ultra. The ifi gear costs way less than one of my power cords even but they sound great and the technology is changing so fast now I want to be able to constantly...

    Cardas Clear Beyond XL vs Shunyata Denali V2

    Less noise and hash. Seemed more analog and life-like. For some reason in my system Shunyata power cords are just flat.

    Cardas Audio cables

    I agree with Ron. The idea of 1 cable brand seems like a good idea but some companies might make better speaker cables than they do interconnects for example. Also, if your source, preamp, and amps are from different brands it might not necessarily make sense to have the same cable brand...

    Nordost power cord for Apple TV

    For several years I had been using a Norsdost purple flare fig 8 power cord on my Apple TV for movies and occasional easy to access music. I recently decided to upgrade to a Heimdall 2 fig 8 power cord for my Apple TV. I contacted Nordost for advice and they felt that a noisy device like an...

    XL cable shootout- Cardas Clear beyond XL vs Transparent XL. These are my opinions in my specific system so take with a grain of salt. Here are my thoughts and comparisons.

    Cardas Audio cables

    The Cardas Clear Beyond XL is pretty amazing. I have one in my system now and comparing to the Transparent XL power. Wow, talk about a shootout of “XL” cables. They’re both serious power cables. IMO a higher league than the Shunyatas I have used.

    Transparent Rel Cable

    Yes I use Gen 6 Super speaker cables. Next to enter the system will be an XL power cord. Every Transparent cable I bring to the system seems to be just a natural fit, which I can't say about all brands.

    Transparent Rel Cable

    I have a Rel S/812 and really like it with my Revel Salon 2 speakers. I had been using the stock Rel cable but figured if Rel makes an upgraded cable I should see what else is out there. Transparent was great to work with to create a Super Rel cable to go along with my Super gen 6 speaker...

    Preowned Transparent Opportunities

    Hi Karen, When cables are recalibrated are the network boxes opened and then something adjusted on the inside? I don’t need specific company secrets just wondering generally speaking how an existing cable is modified. I am enjoying my G6 Super speaker cables. Thank you.

    Cardas Audio cables

    I recently got a Cardas Clear Ethernet and their myrtle wood blocks to go under my DAC and preamp and their myrtle wood notched blocks to lift my speaker cables. I was expecting 0 to little difference against my Shunyata venom Ethernet and no lifters. Boy was I wrong! Instantly noticed more...

    Cardas Clear Beyond XL vs Shunyata Denali V2

    Decided to try out Cardas Clear Beyond XL power and compare to my loom of Shunyata Delta V2 NR power cables. I enjoy my system and it’s a work in process, certainly attainable. Revel Salon 2, Parasound pre and JC5, transparent super gen 6 signal cables. The more fair comparison price wise is...

    Transparent Audio Super & Ultra cables

    I just upgraded from music wave gen 5 to super gen 6 speaker cables. The supers are physically much heavier and thicker. Right out of the gate it was a significant upgrade in every way. I could easily live with this level on my Salon 2’s. Can’t even imagine there are 5 more levels up. Can’t beat...
