Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
I can see from your photo that you already have the Solid Tech ROS.
I hope it works better for you then it did for me.
I am going to try something interesting this weekend. Most racks come with spike footers. I am going to replace my spike footers with Ansuz Feets combined with Ansuz Darkz to see if I can hear a difference. Comparing racks and rack footers is actually very challenging because of the long duration it takes to make the changes and power everything up again. I will give it a go though. Always tweaking is my motto.Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers, Borresen Model 01 Compact monitor loudspeakers with Ansuz Darkz T2s Supreme resonance control, Audio Video Manufaktur GmbH (AVM) Inspiration amplifier & streamer, Innuos Zen MKII music server, Ansuz Acoustics cables & accessories.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
I will be very interested in your findings. To couple or de-couple is always up for a lot of debate. Personally I am starting to really like de-coupling.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Hello,
need your expert advice on the following:
any experience about the following:
would a shorter 1,5 m ceramic 2 Mainz still beat the longer 2 m old diamond or ceramic Mainz cable?
from my wall (Furutech rhodium ncs, separately secured with Ahp Klangmodul 16a) to mainz8d2 I luckily own a 2 m dtc Mainz.
I now want to substitute my old cable ceramic 2 m to preamp Linn Klimax dsm and or amps Linn Klimax Solo 500.
Thanks

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Welcome Ollie
In my opinion all version 2 cables are better than the originals. I would say the Aluminum v2 is better than the original Diamond. Can't explain it but longer power cords sound better than shorter ones. That said I have not heard any power cords less than 2M.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Hello - Not sure, I fully understand what you’re saying but will try to answer.
I never ran D series up, my experience is with the C2 over the C and was a significant improvement that was better for me over the Nordost Valhalla 2. I still have a C2 and have placed it into my preamp with amazing results getting into Odin territory. I use the C in my Oppo player, with significant improvement over Nordost Frey 2.
Repurpose the C into a digital setup or similar if you are running this.Source Analog: Kuzma Stabi R w/4point 11 arm | Kuzma 50 Cartridge

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Hi all,
luckily I received a mainz8 dtc to test from a dealer by courier.
is it normal that there seem to be moving things sound like balls inside the the Mainz? Or is there something broken? The outer box looked ok when unboxing. Than I took the Mainz out and realized the sound of moving balls when I lifted it carefully. Unfortunately in Europe the shop / dealer already closed.
any comments is the sound of rolling / moving balls when carrying the mainz8 dtc normal?
thanks

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
I'm not familiar with the Utopia's but to me the Sopra's are great. The Utopia's could be a world better - I just don't know because I never heard them. Personally I prefer the Raidho D series over the the Sopra's. But that's just me. The one thing Focal's have over Raidho is Dynamics. I have ordered Borresen 03's to overcome that.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Recently I replaced a Ansuz Signals X with a A2. This was a noticeable upgrade. When the A2 was on order I had a Pom on loan. To be honest I like the X series Signals over the Pom series.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Hello,
now new mainz8 dtc arrived and is burning in
its such an improvement to my system...
i wonder whether it would make sense to buy an extra dtc power box, although no d2 or dtc interconnects so far.
has anyone experiences with the effect of just adding the plain power box? It seems it contains lots of sparkz....
thanks for your comments

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Do you still have your Mainz8 d2 Ollie?
If so, connect that to the Mainz8 DTC and see if you can hear difference.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Hi Ollie.
Glad you like your Mainz 8 DTC!.
Regarding the DTC powerbox.. It works parallel in your system. Just by plugging in the box you'll experience more of what you've already gotten by implementing the Mainz 8 DTC in your system. If you're planing on upgrading to any of the ansuz cables that requires the power box then it would be a great move!Scansonic MB-1, Aavik U-300, Sony CD Player as transport, mixture of ansuz cables in different qualities, Ansuz Mainz X Power Distribution, Ansuz Power Distribution for DTC cables

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
I have an old Mainz8-D which i've been meaning to compare to my new 2-series D distributor but just haven't had the time to do so.
Ansuz reckon the new A2 distributor is significantly better than the old Mainz8-D. I originally purchased the Mainz8-D to replace a Nordost QBase distributor.Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers, Borresen Model 01 Compact monitor loudspeakers with Ansuz Darkz T2s Supreme resonance control, Audio Video Manufaktur GmbH (AVM) Inspiration amplifier & streamer, Innuos Zen MKII music server, Ansuz Acoustics cables & accessories.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Personally I would start replacing your power cables with V2 before speaker cables. When I upgraded my original ceramic with the V2 ceramic the difference was very significant. When I replaced my original Nordost Frey speaker cable to the original ceramic the difference was very minor. That difference was not in tonality but in openness. Very minor. When I replaced the original ceramic speaker cable the the ceramic V2 it was a bigger improvement than going from the Nordost to Ansuz. Also the V2 speaker cable took quite a while to break in (several weeks). That said going from the original speaker cable to the V2 was not as significant as as the power cord.
That was my experience.George

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Are your Audioquest 88 rocket speaker cables damaged or no longer fit for purpose – perhaps for example, not being long enough for a new system layout?
All things being equal, based on my experience, I would suggest you leave the AQ speaker cables in place (if they do the job) and prioritize spending elsewhere. Personally, I would get a new C2 Mainz cable from the mains outlet to the Mainz8-D and move the existing Ansuz C [still a really great cable BTW] to feed the Octave pre-amp or the Aurender A10 streamer. Do that and I think you will really smile.
Can you borrow a C2 cable from your local dealer to try it in your system?
Also, where is your Mainz8-D currently located? If it’s sitting on the floor [a major no-no] can you get a small platform under it? That would be another and this time relatively low cost upgrade IMHO.Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers, Borresen Model 01 Compact monitor loudspeakers with Ansuz Darkz T2s Supreme resonance control, Audio Video Manufaktur GmbH (AVM) Inspiration amplifier & streamer, Innuos Zen MKII music server, Ansuz Acoustics cables & accessories.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
My AQ Rocket 88 is in perfect condition. The people at AQ really did me a great service. A long time ago I bought a pair of 7meters long AQ Rocket 88. But recently due to my new Octave amps I didn't need 7 meter. My dealer (he is a dealer for AQ, Crystal Cable, Shunyata and Ansuz) sent my AQ to AQ to have it cut up in a 4m and a 3m pair. AQ send me a brand new 3m pair and a brand new 4m pair for almost no cost.
The Mainz8-D is sitting in my SolidSteel audio rack. My next investment will be a Rack of Silence 4 with 2 boards, one for my TT and one for the Mainz, pre amp power supply and TT power supply.
I'll think about the C2. But I also would like to upgrade my no brand Ethernet cable. I need about 4 to 5 meter. Thinking about buying two converters so I can use fiber optic Ethernet.Pre amp: Ocatve Phono Module Power amps: Octave MRE130 Turntable: SAC Girati Grande.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Seen here is the new Ansuz Acoustics D.TC SUPREME power cord which was recently informally demonstrated in Viet Nam.
To be formally unveiled at the Munich show in May, D-TC SUPREME will undoubtedly prove to be another milestone in the D-TC family. Lars Kristensen, CEO of Ansuz Acoustics (Denmark), promises that this together with the broader DTC SUPREME range will be mind-blowing.
I know of one enthusiastic AS forum member who will shortly receive his SUPREME power cord …. And no, sadly its not me.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Well I picked up my Supreme power cable yesterday. Just when you think the noise floor can't be lowered any further it cratered. Again the first thing I noticed is the music plays 1-2db louder at the same level. The detail/clarity and dynamics improved significantly. Not sure if it's fully broken yet but it was used at Axpona which I couldn't attend this year due to my mother passing.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
George,
I understand that Supreme is a step up but is it worth the money or would it be better to get 2 DTC's? Just thinking a bit creative…
I still need to go for DTC Mainz. I see that you run DTC supreme feet, please give you impression from these.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Mike you bring up a great point as I thought of that too. Mike Borresen said he has learned so much from the original D-TC he was able to significantly improve on the original. That said I did not compare 2 D-TC's to a single Supreme. But at the 2018 Axpona Next Level ran a pair of D-TC power bars. Then on the last day I brought mine for a total of 3. As good as that was I think the Supreme is a bit better. That was comparing power bars not power cords.
Now that being said I did have an in home demo with the original prototype D-TC power cord when Lars was in town. What I immediately noticed was the noise floor cratered. The other thing Lars did was push the volume up and my D2.1's played a good 2-3db louder before popping. Now when both Mike and Lars came to Next Level to showcase the new Borresen speakers (back in Jan of this year) They also had prototypes of the new Supreme cables/power bar and Darkz. When they replaced the original D-TC power bar then later the power cord the first thing that was very obvious with each was the music played a good 1-2db louder at the same level then I also noticed the noise floor dropping even more. The original D-TC did not do that. They then replaced all the interconnects and the music didn't play louder but the noise floor did drop with each change. They didn't have the speaker cables as they were not completed yet. I did borrow the power cable overnight and heard the same improvements in my system. FWIW the Supreme power cord is twice as heavy compared to the original D-TC.
As far as the Darkz I didn't really hear a difference. I guess I was expecting a much bigger change like all the cables and power bar. As far as my 03's with the Supreme Darkz they are built in between the base and speaker. To cant even see them. What I can say is when Next Level got the first pairs of 01/02 and 03's I helped unbox them and set them up. I recall thinking to myself no way am I trading my D3.1's for these. They had no hours on them. Then after the new Borresen speakers were broken in several week later they didn't sound anything like when they no hrs on them. It was when I returned the power I made the decision to upgrade my power cord and trade my speakers for the 03's. When they arrived Tyler delivered them to my home and set them up. Took about 20 mins and when we fired them up they were just a hair better than my D3.1's which had a few thousand hours on them. The only thing both Tyler and I could think of was the Supreme feet. The Supreme Darkz are much lighter than the D-TC. They are titanium with titanium bearings. I may borrow the new Darkz to demo in my home in time but not now.George

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
An awesome update thanks George.
I am interested in the release of the new Supreme Darkz. I have the D.TC Darkz under just about everything; under the equipment rack, under the speakers, under the Mainz distributor and the electronics and I ponder just what the Supreme quality level will bring to the party.Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers, Borresen Model 01 Compact monitor loudspeakers with Ansuz Darkz T2s Supreme resonance control, Audio Video Manufaktur GmbH (AVM) Inspiration amplifier & streamer, Innuos Zen MKII music server, Ansuz Acoustics cables & accessories.

New Ansuz X 2M Din5 to Din5. Have it connected between between my SuperNait 2 and the Naim ND5XS2. It is replacing the stock cable. Plan to audition for a few weeks to give some burn in and evaluate.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Wow. I was not aware that Ansuz had DIN5 terminated cables in its line up.
Do you know if this is new to the range?
I look forward to reading your thoughts / comparison between the stock NAIM cable which has been specifically designed to interconnect NAIM products and the Ansuz Acoustics X-series.Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers, Borresen Model 01 Compact monitor loudspeakers with Ansuz Darkz T2s Supreme resonance control, Audio Video Manufaktur GmbH (AVM) Inspiration amplifier & streamer, Innuos Zen MKII music server, Ansuz Acoustics cables & accessories.

Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Yes. They are brand new to the Ansuz lineup. Michael and Lars brought them to the Axpona Show a few weeks ago. They will have X, A2 and D2 2M Din5 to Din5 cables. 750, 3750 and 15,900 respectively in USD. Thinking about a Din5 to RCA.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Spotted at the Munich 2019 show are four new levels of Darkz Ti composite resonance control devices.
By one account i've heard, but not myself tried, the 2nd level in the range surpasses the existing D.TC product.
I hope to audition myself in the near future.

Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
I think they did a great job with their room,
and maybe it's smart of them to be downstairs. Yesterday I listened to both 01 and 05 speakers and they were swapping the Mainz cable from the wall from A2, then DTC and then Supreme. Its almost unbelievable to hear the difference that freaking cable makes. When cost is not an object, this is where you want to go!!! The rest of us might need to think a bit... But still, what a cable!!
I've heard the Børresen speakers a few times now, and even though this is a show it was the best so far. I could feel the attraction and the 01 wanting to go home with me... 😀

The supreme power bar is just as amazing as the power cable.
