Re: Ansuz Cables & Accessories
Thanks, I would say to my ears I beat the D2 cables and are at level with, albeit slightly different tone, the DTC, with exception of the DTC black background. As usual we all have different systems...

Hi, the normal way of enhancing the performance would be to go for the C2 Mainz, however having, as I understand a 'good' deal on a C2 distributor I would go for the distributor. I agree that the...

I would say that Ansuz has presented a game changing way of addressing this field of snake oil abundance. Anyway, the proof is in the listening to their products and make up your own mind first.
