Revelation: Merlin+Joule- Total bliss

Joule is what Bobby liked best with his Merlins. I miss him. Cheers,
Spencer

I've lost touch with Jud but I believe his is around 79-80.  He did retire some years ago.

 Congratulations dumbeat. I had a pair of VSMmms as my first audiophile speaker and Bobby helped me set up the entire system on a budget. At the time I couldn’t afford the OTLs nor the heat and logistical issues they created. However, I fully believe in what you’re experiencing now! 

Thanks Doug. What would be a great cable that can be bought used in the several hundred dollar area?

If you buy used cables, you may not return it even if you do not like it.


I recommend two options.

One is to use Cable Company

They let you audition 2 or 3 different cables after consulting your system and taste.

When you use Cable company, you have to pay full price.

One more option is to buy new ones on sale from Silnote.

Recently, I ordered 3 digital cables at 100$ and 200$ whose regular prices are 300$ and 700$, based upon 14 days’ return policty.

I found them pretty good even justifying the regular price and kept them.
