    So yes... TC Power cord announced. It is less innovative in design than the interconnects. At least at first look and for what connectors are concerned. Large pick up from DC.. Around 13.500 for a 1,5 meter they are saying. Which is a much larger increase than the DC to TC interconnects...

    Those are beautiful. We share also the viacustic treatment for what I see. Great stuff.

    Siltech Cables

    HI there. Thx. Will try to update the pics. System and room are all really the same but changing the G01 for the grandioso G1 clock. And yes, I think when I posted those I did not have the TC connected still. Pics are not really my thing but will try to take couple of shots and upgrade.

    Ok yes I found it. This is what Edwin (he is the owner and designer right?) says on the shields: "However, I have my own opinion of it. From my point of view, Triple Crown cables sound much better without a connected shield. In top-end, well-compiled systems that are characterized by high...

    Glad to hear it was of help. This is what most people seems to find. Only I wonder why they say what they say in the user manual. It is strange. I can't find the interview and review right now. Was feeling like giving it another read. Just found this...

    Hi there. Those are the Keyton model Chelsea. Very nice. 2 set of motors for legs and back, plus headrest and some other stuff. I think they sell worldwide. Found this on the web http://www.juanjook.com/keytonvipcinemaseating/chelsea-model.php Although for some reason on the...

    Siltech Cables

    Tell me about it...! Yes, all buttons in float at all ends. Is rare since the manual says otherwise as you know. First when I installed them I followed the manual. And staid like that for a while. Started doing tests, and somewhere I read an interview to the designer, in listening session...

    Siltech Cables

    Hi Ozy, good to hear from you. I have a full TC system now. From DACs to preamp, preamp to amps and SC. They have been there for quite a long time now, since last time I posted here. Great cables, yes. Actually they do recommend to leave all grounds in the floating position despite the...

    Happy holidays too. Thx mate. Yes it has been a while since then. A few years... Happy where I am. Not saying will not "be there in the run" again. But I feel with these boxes, I have found a very solid foundation to build a system around, for a very long time to come. They are quite...

    Hi zephyr/SCA Good to hear from you. Saw your private and replied. But as I was saying, not many new upgraders since last time I posted. And it has been a while now. You know what I've been doing al this time? Yes... just listening to music. Got to a point where system sounds so good and is...

    TAD owners: speaker setup

    No I haven't. All should be good. I wanted to try de 2150 before going for the M600, but it was very hard to get them in house for a try or even listen to them together. Since the M600 sounded as good as they did, decided to go with then. Did hear the 2050 with Magicos. Were good but frankly I...

    Hi Ozy. How are things evolving with speakers? The problems should be solved regarding the TC. Just got my 1m xor for dacs to preamp last week. Looking forward to hear your impressions. Best

    TAD owners: speaker setup

    Hi Ozy, good to hear you like what you are listening. 150 hours is really nothing. Wait for 500 hours and you will see. <bass is incredible. Goes well bellow but extremely defined. And the CST will take forever and a half to get there but the transparency and the level of detail has no equal...

    True. How many sales they may have lost due to this at showrooms is hard to say. But I guess there is a reason behind. What you mention may very well be one of them.

    TAD owners: speaker setup

    Hi Murray, I have not tried the D600.Is actually the only piece of TAD reference series that I haven't tried in my house. Can't say how it compares to the Grandioso. I have my opinion of course but it is not based on anything objective so worth very little. Interestingly, the TAD head for...

    TAD owners: speaker setup

    Ozy, I have the T600 with them together with the TAD C600. Then you need an excellent source. There is really a big difference there as well. The Esoteric Grandioso does it for me. But I'm sure the VIvaldi's will also do it. TAD M600 and TAD C600 works great with the R1. You have synergy...

    TAD owners: speaker setup

    You are going to freak out even more... If you can resist try to get used to speakers and place the cables later but you know that. I think I'm also going to order now from dad to preamp. They are supposed to be the ones with the biggest effect. The speaker cables and from preamp to amps are...

    COngrat Ozy and welcome to the club! That is exactly how I felt when I was shopping for them and comparing to others and also when they got home. And great thing is that after 3 years or so still feel exactly the same. Those speakers, when properly fed are incredible. A mix of incredible...

    Siltech Cables

    I haven't done any tests with that. So far have just connected it as they suggest (star grounding scheme with center point preamp). Will try other options when cables have more hours on them. I wonder how the grounding shceme is in the rest of the line. Assume the same as they suggest.

    Siltech Cables

    I think that is the one that will actually have the greatest effect of all the cables (interconnects and SC) one can change. Soundwise it does have the typical Siltech sound, but even more refined, lower noise thus you hear more, better presentation. More music all in all. The highs are even...

    Siltech Cables

    Sure. They are very thick. The interconnects I mean. So you have an idea, the interconnects are about the thickness of the Emperor II speaker cables. They really make the DC interconnects seem very thin in comparation. However the Speaker cables (TC) are much similar in size to the Empero II...

    Siltech Cables

    Having heard from them the models Queen, Emperor II, DC and TC, if I would have to say which is the best combo price/performance I think I would say the Emperor II. Of course DC is better, and not just by a short margin, and the TC is just something else. But if you have to factor in price...

    Hi Stereophonic. 150 hours on the interconnects and approx 70 on the speaker cables, they sound just great. Have to say that with these cables plus the Troy with the Troy with the Thors SE, the noise I did not know I had, apparently was there. It is so low you can hear absolutely everything. And...

    Siltech Cables

    The interconnects are just great. Huge step forward in all senses. Incredible set of cables. Presentación is fantastic, and all the good things you know of the Siltech DC, but more of it. A pleasant surprise all around. Can't imagine anything better. Speaker cables, are still quite new with...

    Siltech Cables

    Will do don-t worry. It will take a while as you know. But I am really impress still when I look at them. I can-t believe how much @large@ they look compared to the DC. And DC are no joke... They are even slightly thicker then the DC power cords... Not the easiest cables to work with, is...

    Siltech Cables

    I just conected the TC XLR from preamp to monoblocks. No assesment regarding sound of course still. It will take a while. But these things are massive. It makes the DC look almost like a toy... It is about double the diameter. THe new connectors are also totally different. The one with the pins...

    Will do but it will take me a couple of weeks I think to have some conclussions. If I recall correctly, you were also biwiring with Siltech? Is it much better than a single cable + a very good jumper?

    Siltech Cables

    I have 1 XLR to connect preamp and amps and speaker cables, but had not connected them yet. Waiting for other recent changes to settle. I have a DC from DAC to preamp so I am familiar with it. The XLR to be changed currently is a queen so I do expect a nice improvement. Regarding speakers...
