Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC

Guido, That was very funny. Luckily, I don't think I have Audiophrenia Nervose but given that it is all about the music, it is hard to know if I have upgraditis? I mean, what I think happens, at least to me, is that my listening plateaus and I want to go deeper and deeper into the music. I am a professor of Indian philosophy and I use music as a way to open to writing and to meditation. So, it is very important to me. But, the technology is a means not an end. I must keep that in sight. Still, I have to say I do want to keep growing and sometimes that means upgrading and tweaking — just not YET. R

Cables are truly system dependant. I use Wireworld Platinum cables. I have your amp and DAC with the Corus preamp.

I understand. The problem is how do you try out various cables, especially if you are trying to buy used to save some money? I take your recommendations seriously. Thanks, R

Ricred1, have you tried other cables?

Yes, Transparent Audio Ultra, Shunyata Cobra, and Cardas Clear. Audioquest Wel Signature cables are way more money than I'm willing to spend on cables; therefore I've never auditioned them.
