Yes a couple of friends got disappointed. Next time we should make sure to declare potential for sale items up front.

My appreciation again to Francois for organising this event. Personally, I am very privileged to have listened to a very large percentage of the best of the best, not even to mention that I owned and still own a substantial number of the synergy makers. I can just endorse the comments made thus...
Just be warned - Francois is dead right. There are many fake cables doing the round, even more brands than mentioned above. I will not touch any high end cable unless ordered direct from the factory or with an original factory invoice.
One solution is to make sure that the electrons remain in the laminar flow instead of the plug flow regime by connecting at least two of these real Class A, heavy metal. massive cooling fin mono monsters to feed your speakers. They love to devour lots of electrons, and you can double them up as...
Hi @BJ,
I use mostly Crystal and Kimber Select silver cable. Also Cardas. My power tapped from a clean 3 phase system, so not much power conditioners, except for a couple of old Power Wedges and Tice blocks. Will PM as soon as I am back in SA.
My reference system consist of G1s, Halcro DM10 and 88, DcS Vivaldi and SME30. I also have Revel Salon 2s, DcS Scarlatti and Mark Levinson 32 and Jefff Rowland Mod 9s set up in a second room for comparison. I am just south of Johannesburg. PM
By the way, I have two DK high resolution re-masters. DVD Audio Extractor will rip the high resolution PCM content.

Exactly right Eben, the moment I changed my main speakers from Revel Ultima Salon2 to Vivid G1, disaster struck with a big miss-match and I had to start over again - so decided not to pursue any more. Probably the biggest learning point is that it is not possible to integate stereo and MC...
I changed the skin and I use the special drivers provided by DcS when I purchased the Vivaldi. All other setup suggestions as proposed in some posts above ticked off. I also use JR and like the interphase, but there is definitely a sound difference for me. I am going to research the claims of no...
You must also try Foobar. Sounds better than JR 20. I have a system with enough resolution and lowest noise / distortion to hear it instantaneously without A-B-A. Though still not nearly as good as a DcS Vivaldi DSD.
