Once I start reading this stuff, I have no idea what thread I’m in.

Stick to that subject

Here’s something on the topic of Ron’s new system. The tags or links need editing. They refer to gear that I think Ron is no longer using. Perhaps we need a refresh to the thread to get us discussing the new system with the current lineup of components.

Ron was very accommodating, even charitable, with those old videos he made and shared. I kind of miss those.

I ve gotten plenty of useful information about components from his very thorough reviews [of Christiaan Punter, HiFi-Advice]

[please forgive my poor English]

Waiting for Ron to share his first impressions with us, regarding Christiaan Punter, I'd just like to add the following. I don't know him personally, but as far as I can read:
- thorough reviews indeed, I agree;
- he is a broadcast professional who uses DSP-corrected active Genelec monitors (in another room). But obviously he seems to enjoy very much subjective reviewing too;
- he clearly stated that he had left the standard fuse inside the Incito S anyway.

Can I just add that I read your posts regularly and you genuinely have no need to put a disclaimer on your English, your posts are always erudite and easy to read… that it is a second language for you doesn’t show up at all in your writing.

I'll bet you wonder about mine lol

Al I wonder about myself also at times… we can all go a little abstract just to mix it up when trying to relate our experiences and individual perspectives in the predictably sequenced ducking and weaving parrying and thrusting (then rinse and repeat) of forum life. Especially in the increasingly more Groundhog Day audio thread categories.

Ron, I guess it's working well.
have you tried the GAC-2?

I am thinking of trying GAC 4/1 or 2. Not sure which one.

I go between 5m Nordost Tyr and Mogami 2549.

Congratulations for the system Ron !


Hello XV-1,

The GAC-2 cable (1040X) is a very special cable. It has an innate lifelike sense of rhythm that is quite addictive.

Tonally, I miss some of the body and tone that some other cables can provide in the upper bass/lower midrange, but as soon as the Gotham GAC-2 (1040X) cable is temporarily replaced at home with a different cable, it always feels as if that life quality in music is gone.

If I could find a cable that would provide me with a denser sound in the upper bass/lower midrange and a more lifelike tone while retaining the GAC-2’s (1040x) lifelike dynamic nuance and resolution, it would probably be my go to cable for life.

For completeness, I haven’t experienced that lifelike dynamic expressiveness with the more expensive Gac-2 UltraPro (10561) , or in any other cable for that matter, and I yet have to try the GAC-4/1 (11001) .
