Has anyone by chance compared the Theta speaker cable to an Alpha X?

Will also the SACD-players (K-05XD, K-03XD se and others) get the XE upgrades?

Is this a warmer, fuller sounding speaker cable than Nordost Frey2/Tyr2? A couple of years ago I tried an Alpha v2 XLR between my Esoteric K-05XD and Diablo 300 and found it a bit lean and cold sounding, very detailed though. So I was wondering if the speaker cables have a similar analytical...

Great cables but unfortunately they have quite high capacitance which Gryphon recommends to steer away from.

I’m driving my 3.7x with a Diablo 300 👌 Still looking for new speaker cables 🤔 Siltech 680/880, Nordost Frey2/Tyr2 and Transparent Ultra are on my shortlist. Any thoughts?

Thanks but unfortunately I don’t think the Clarus Crimson cables are available here in my part of the world 🇸🇪

Thanks. What was the bass like? Was the difference between 680 and 880 big enough to justify the much higher price of the 880? With Magnepans you don’t want cables on the lean side of neutral. What did you move on to?

I’m particularly interested in 680 or 880 speaker cables and how they compare to Nordost Frey2/Tyr2. Will be used between a Gryphon Diablo 300 and Magnepan 3.7X.

Which streamer would be a good match with the Eso? Leaning towards an Aurender N200 or something similarly priced. The rest of my system consists of a Diablo 300 and a pair of Magnepan 3.7X. Merry Christmas to all! 🎄🎅🏼

Assuming that equal quality cables are used, which provides the best SQ when connecting a streamer to my K-05XD? I’m leaning towards an Aurender N200 or N20.

Those of you who have heard these interconnects, how do they compare? Sonic characteristics? Should be used between an Esoteric K-05XD and a Diablo 300 with Magnepan 3.7. Your input would be much appreciated.

What is the difference in house sound between the two brands? I’m interested in Eso K-05XD or Lux D-07X. What are your thoughts? 🤔

Any experience with the new K-05XD? How does it compare to other similarly priced cd-players?

Which speaker cables would you recommend for my Diablo 300 and Maggie 3.7’s? l’m currently using AQ Argent. Leaning towards Shunyata Alpha or Nordost Frey/Tyr. What are your thoughts, an improvement or a lateral move? 🤔
