PC for a Running Springs Audio Haley?

I recently acquired a Running Springs Audio Haley and have been enjoying quite a bit, but I feel that it possibly needs a better pc. Right now I'm using a Virtual Dynamics power 2 pc with the Haley. One audiogoner recommended a Oyaide Tunami GPX pc for the Haley. Anyone have experience with this pc? Lately, I've been wanting to try different pc's throughout my sytem, but I feel that the Haley needs a better pc before everything else. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello Bradz, The Running Springs Haley responds best with the non current limiting, non coloring Running Springs Mongoose ($600). It is intended for this unit. If this cable is a bit out of reach, our customers have found the Cardas Cross ($265) to be a good alternative. Since the Mongoose is Cardas based as well and all of the internal wiring of the Haley is of Cardas Golden Ratio, selecting it's little brother (Cardas Cross) becomes a natural second choice.

Thanks for the response Dan. I should have mentioned that the Haley has the following components plugged in: Innersound esl amp which draws 1k watts, a Cary SLP 98 pre which draws 44 watts, and a Cary 303 cdp which draws twenty something watts. So, I'm drawing around 1200 or so watts out of the Haley. Thanks.

I have a RSA Haley and I use a Black Sand Silver Reference Mk V that is an excellent match.

Before going with the Black Sand pc, I used a VH Audio Flavor 4 and AirSine.

I directly compared the Flavor 4 with the Mongoose and greatly preferred the Flavor 4. The Mongoose sounded slow and dull by comparison.

I highly recommend you check out the Black Sand cord before spending $600 or so on the Cardas cord.
