Theta Data Basic Mk II

Hi Steve,
Thank you for your reply! Yes, I've heard good things about the Stealth Varidig too! Apart from what you described, how is the bass & midbass performance of the Varidig! Is it punchy, deep, bodied etc!
Thanks & rgds,
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh23. I've never heard a Theta Data Basic II, but am very happy with the Theta Pearl transport I own.

I have had good results with Cardas Lightning L-15 and Mapleshade Double Helix digital cables, but am currently favoring the Kimber Illuminations D60. I think if I went with a cable that was more revealing and less colored, my system would become too lean.

I'm using the Pearl with a Bel Canto DAC 1.1, Simaudio Moon I-5 integrated and ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures. With the D60 my system is detailed and quick, yet just warm enough to listen for hours.

Do you already own the Data Basic II?

Hi Gunbei,
Thank you for your reply! Yes, I already own the Data Basic Mk II and I do have the Cardas Lightning 15 including the Elco Ultimate digital cable. Results with the L15 is good however with the Elco, the sound is more nuetral! I'm using the DB MK II with a Link III.
I've heard many good things about the Mapleshade and I've also been told to consider the Goldmund Lineal and a brand called Clou Cable from Sweden! Have you heard of this brand!

Hi Glen,
