Anthem,

Glad to hear Go worked out for you. I had a strong suspicion you would enjoy it. Gordon has a bit of a unique style in his play.

Cheers,

T Cobe

Cheers,

Hey, T Cobe

Maybe I missed it in an earlier post... what power cable did you audition? I agree. Everything works together and anything/everything can subtly change everything else...

Happy listening!

Rick,

I'm going with all Nordost on my 2-channel setup. When performing an in-home audition, the effects were synergistic. When I had all Nordost in my system, I had the best sound. With various makes and model cables, I could check of many boxes simultaneously; however, with all Nordost at the same time, I was able to check off all of my boxes at once. It's a lot more money than I had intended to spend, but for me, the proof is in the music.

Cheers,

T Cobe

T Cobe:

Glad to hear things are coming together for you.
Now on a side note, I'm interested in your system and the Retail cost of your powercords, speaker wire, and interconnects to run your 2-channel system (please include the pc's on your T1's)

This is my 2-channel setup:

Decware Zen Torii MKlV > Anti-Cable PC > $330.00

Cambridge Audio Azur 840C cd player > Anti-Cable PC > $330.00 > Interconnect > Military Silver/copper > $50.00

Oppo 105 > Anti-Cable PC > $330.00 > Anti-Cable Absolute Signature RCA interconnect > $570.00

Triton 2's > Anti-Cable PC'S ($330.00 × 2)

Speaker wire > Clarity Cable (Passion) > $1200.00
D-Sonic m3a-600m Mono > McIntosh MC152 > Primaluna ProLogue Premium Preamp > Oppo UDP205 > Decware ZLC > Triton Reference > Isoacoustics Gaia 2 > Canare 4S11 Speaker Cables > Audience Forte 3, Anticable L3 & Shunyata Venom PC's
