Revelation: Merlin+Joule- Total bliss

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.

Glad to hear you got a sound you really like. I have been following your journey you have shared with us here. I appreciate Doug's enthusiasm and suggestions. My thinking is don't mess with Total Bliss. Some people chase their tales for ever. Both ways have their merits though.

dumbeat, I often use PCs by Clarity Cable, but also a good option in your price range is Silnote's Poseidon series. 

Thanks, Im using now Kimber 8TC for the speakers and Hero for IC. Would your suggestion be a big step up or am I in the vicinity already?
