Why don't you read what I wrote on the other forum site and judge for yourself. The cable is available from Cable Co. for audition.

For me, and in my system. YMMV.

If one's taste is a relaxed, neutral sound, and they have a system that can take advantage of the many things the Omega-X does really well, then it's not damning at all. Right now, I'm figuring out how my current stock of USBs -- the Synergistic Research SRX, the Signal Projects Andomeda and...

I meant the "USB cable recommended" thread. On the Shunyata Omega Cables thread, I wrote the following: "I spent two periods with the Omega-X USB on loan this summer and reviewed it twice on the "USB Cable Recommended" thread. I won't repeat all the good things here, and there are a lot of...

There’s USB thread over on What’s Vest Forum that speaks to this.

I asked to see if your Gaia model’s spec is too close to the speaker’s weight. It’s not (<10%). I use Gaia 1’s with 120 lb speakers on medium berber carpet with wood, probably 2x10’s, underneath. In general, spikes are not a good idea because they transmit vibrations from what’s underneath...

Which Gaias and how much does each sub weigh?

If anyone is still watching this thread, speaking of a USB cable I'm impressed by what I've heard about the Signal Projects' cables, and in particular their Andromeda line. Since I'd probably have to buy blind (U.S.), my main question is tonality, specifically does it have a touch of warmth? Not...

It's been a long time, but anyone had a chance to compare the Omega-X to the plain Omega USB cable? Is the improvement of a major order, such as like the Sigma to the Omega, or more quantitative?

Anyone have a Master that's changed the fuse? Or maybe other VAC models are similar. I'm forgetting if the fuse holder comes all the way out or just part way and the fuse has to be inserted/taken out from the bottom. I did it a few months back, but am forgetting and don't want to break anything...

Supratek Cabernet 6SN7 Preamp w/ Chardonnay PSU ("The PSU is slightly different...a minor difference"). This one started life as a Chardonnay in April 2020 and then the main unit was stripped and rebuilt into a Cabernet in April 2022 (6 months ago). The Cab is a different design and has...

In looking for reviews and forum discussions about the Sistrum Apprentice platforms, everything is about the 3.3" model, SA-103-3. I'm wondering if there are any current or former 2.3" 102-3 owners. I ask because with a Lampi tube dac and Supratek tube preamp (two pieces) the 3.3" total height...

FS: Jensen Cable TV Isolator (VRD-1FF) and a 6" Blue Jeans RF coax cable for attaching it inline to a cable TV box (this is not for satellite TV). They are in excellent shape and I no longer need them. For the pair, I'm asking $48 shipped in the CONUS including PP fees. Check my references here...
