very interesting...they have an option to ground or float...have you tried either option? Is this similar to Empress Double Crown which has a separate connection point for grounding the cable to a Tripoint or Entreq grounding box?

 

[LL21]

Thanks, Wizard! Most interesting...I think I see 4 Entreq boxes towards the back of the system...good stuff! I have seen pictures where Lincoln Chen (the Editor of Audiotechnique) also has Tripoint Troy in his home system with Siltech grounding cables.

Ll , the set are in for review at AudioTechnique HKG , will let you know if any feedback . Not sure the Empress double crown has a grounding scheme incorporated .

Thanks! Maybe you're right...I thought Audiocracks new cables were Empress...but I think they were Tara Labs something else...

What they do have is something called a Zero Ohm link , which incorporates some sort of grounding scheme . You plug your I/C into the Link , the link into your gear . Crystal has something similar called a Crystal Cable Bridge .

Yes I read a review on the Crystal bridge...unfortunately it was not a great one. Apparently, the bridge goes RCA-RCA FIRST, and the back of each RCA has essentially a receiving end for your IC RCA. So the ICA is essentially going into the bridge RCA at each end. And the bridge is supposedly taking the grounding/emi/rfi interference away from the RCA.

Interesting that the same magazine also had a technical article espousing the merits of the basic concept of creating a chassis bridge between equipment that handles electro-magnetic imbalances between the equipment.

Hi Jazz & Wizard, thanks for the great pictures!
Would love to hear any further feedback you have of the audition.
Pity that it's tested (look to be) as one IC source-to-pre only, amongst loom of Odins.
Any info on pricing/msrp, and availability of their PC and SC?
Wonder why my local dealer has not contacted - probably not got them yet.

How the heck did you get that photo? That was quick! Thanks and yes, that makes sense...basically 2 Entreq Atlantis setups.

Well this is certainly a cable that would motivate me to switch from Odin. I think it's twice the cost too, therefore I will be sticking with Odin.

Lincoln uses two Troys , one a regular Signature , the other with the Thor PC .

Saw siltech triple crown in HK. For the ultra expensive price siltech is charging I thk workmanship of the cable is not upto mark. However a friend of mine prefer Siltech double crown to quite a few high end cables in his high end syst , very similar to Lincoln cheng 's Audiotechnique syst except Lincoln uses Tripoint troy , my friend like entreq silver tellus with Atlantis

Taralabs grandmaster evolution. Is the new top of the line Taralabs cables with dedicated grouding stations for the ic.

Audioblazer , what about the workmanship was not up to the mark ? Looks top notch , in the pics at least .

Thanks for the clarification!

The RCA and XLR connectors on these cables looks very interesting....Siltech seems to have done some extra engineering here for a reason...

Two observations:
- much more solid connector end means more solid connection
- seems to have really allowed for shield grounding which it seems people are really starting to focus on

I think Tidal La Assoulata speakers will also come with separate binding posts for grounding to Tripoint/Entreq, etc.

When I inquired availability of ethernet cable last year (for use on digital equipments utilizing proprietary-link), Siltech said that it was actually easy for them to produce but just have not found an acceptably good RJ/E after-market connectors for use unless customizing one, wherein volume/demand for such do not support.
This leaves an impression of how to them plugs and terminations are just as important an equation as the metallurgy/sheathing itself ~ whole package, end-to-end matters ~ which imo should be, un/least compromised, at their prices.
