Ansuz Cables & Accessories

Odyssey said:
Hi George, I really am quite content with the sound of the loom of Ansuz Diamond that I have now. I'm willing to bet that the sound of the Diamond TC is special. But at some point you have to decide is present contentment enough or do I peek over the fence just one more time :happy:

For now I think that I will plough my own furrow.

I agree - I'm quite happy with the Aavik - D2's - Naim US - and last but not least is the Ansuz Ceramic cables. But I do remember Lars demonstrating the Diamond from Ceramic cables and I was very impressed (I think you do to (hehe)!!
 
I observe ceramic is a sweet spot for ansuz lovers, I'm thinking to upgrade to D, for couple cables especially between wall and mainz8, and pre/source slowly. While experience the incremental.

I agree that the Ceramic is the sweet spot for those who still have control over their emotions. :) For those who can reason clearly and calculate a clear cost/benefit analysis.

For those of us who have lost that ability I suggest that you not try the Ansuz Diamond cables. Insanely expensive and the new upgrade to Diamond TC makes them veer further off the path of sanity.

My trip down the Diamond "rabbit hole" started with the Diamond power cords and the Ansuz MainzD8 distributor.

This is my problem: once I hear better sound, it is then hard for me to quantify that incrementally better sound. Once I've had it in my system, I want it. Then I throw my brains out the window.

I agree that Ansuz-C is a sweet spot in the range. Ansuz-D is better again, but at a step increment in price.

Amen brother! The Diamond power cords and MainzD8 distributor are irresistible. Ansuz's best products in my opinion.

My MainzD8 is still going strong. Wouldn't use my system without it. And don't forget about the little Sparkz. Great product.

Yes, the Sparkz are awesome. I still don't grasp how they work but I like what they do....
 
I plugged 2-3 sparky on my empty mainz8 slot, i feel the ribbon is getting sweeter and musical, darker.

While TC sound more forward and open up across med high tone. However it makes my x1 less coherent between the ribbon and woofer, not sure why. Did not try them in d1.

I stayed with couple of Sparkz in the past few months and can't take them out [emoji51]

My local dealer Tyler and Lars just left my house. Lars had a surprise!! Diamond TC cords. OMG they are un frickin believable. I thought the difference between the Ceramics and Diamond was quite un-believable but the Diamond TC is unreal. I'm ruined!! It sounded as if it was live in my room. Lars only added the Diamond TC power cord to my Mainz D8 and a std Diamond digital cable (his 4M Diamond TC speaker cables were to short for my system). I never knew the D2's could sound so good. The power cord had much much better lows - mids and the highs were totally unbelievable. Adding the diamond digital cable put the musicians in my room. I thought swapping Ceramics for Diamonds was really good but the Diamond TC is something way beyond that combo.
Unless you are willing to BUY. Yes they are that good.

Le Roy and Ralph -- don't try the Diamond TC!! You will not want to back to even the Diamonds let alone the Ceramics. I think I have to start me a 'Go Fund me Account'. I'm ruined.

George - you are killing me.... but please keep going!

Any photos of the new cord? Le Roy was asking about interconnects, did Lars mention anything about them?

I like the Sparkz TC best when its in the mains socket parallel to the feed to the distributor. I believe local Kaki "Durianlover88" has a similar opinion?

No I didn't think of taking a picture. Besides they are the originals and Lars said they will look a bit different. They do have a box in line kind of like transparent cables.

As far as interconnects Lars said there are no plans (yet) for a TC version. But he did mention the Aavik separates which is class AB is coming along and adds layers of resolution compared to the U300.
 
A lot

Dear George

It was a pleasure to see you last night.
It is correct that we introduce a new Ansuz range called DTC, which stands for Diamond Tesla Coil technology... but in this cable range it will be active.. where in all our other cables we use passive TC.
Also it will be a full range where Speaker, Interconnect, Digital , Phono and Power cable will be available..

Kind regards
Lars

Lars it was truly an honor to have you over in my home last night let alone to be the first in the USA to hear those new cables. Hopefully next year I can, if nothing else pick up a Diamond TC power cord. Between that and the digital cable just blew me away.
Thanks again
George
 
Ansuz power products sound so wonderful they make me weak in the knees. They are IMO Ansuz's best products. The MainzD8 power conditioner and the Diamond power cords are the only items that would make me replace my Audience AR6-TSSOX power conditioner and AU24SE power cables, which incidentally sound great.

Hello George, I had a long chat with Lars today and he had lots of nice words for how your system is sounding! :congrats:

The new cables will likely be called "DTC" which is an acronym for Diamond Tesla Coil. The Tesla coil in this new range is similar to that employed in the Sparkz TC but much stronger. The DTC power cable, speaker cable and interconnect cable will all be active with the IC requiring a power lead from the distribution box to supply its power. Apparently all three cables will be on show at CES in January 2016.

There is also a possibility that Aavik may show their new pre/power separates at the same show.
 
Ralph after hearing how much my system improved after adding the DTC power cable and Standard Diamond digital cable - Oh and Darkz TA under the Aavik Lars mentioned the Aavik separates will add that much more to the system. I'm hoping I can afford a DTC power cable next spring.

Can I start a 'Go Fund Me' account here:roflmao:
