Don't mean to get off tangent. I agree with Leica_man. I just purchased a pair of Synergistic Research Apex IC and it is awesome sounding. Not dull, not bright, not thin, not fat, etc. Great soundstage, inner details and transient attack. It seems to have done a lot of things right unlike other cables. Definitely give the new Tesla series a try.

I was using VDH mc gold between dac and preamplifier, VDH second between pre and power amp. I thought all carbon cable ''second'' was limiting factor of my system. Everything started from this point. After a quick research I ended up testing various cables: Sonoran, Acrolink,Vdh. This weekend I will test Cardas and transparant. Tomorrow I will explain my further findings.(here now 12.30 a.m.)

After much auditioning of cables for my new W/P 8s including Audioquest Sky/Everest, Synergistic Apex, JPS Aluminata, Virtual Dynamics Rev 2.0, my reference Cardas GR and various Tranparent Audio products, I chose the TAs even before I knew that there was an association between the companies.

Of course the cables cost as much as the speakers but after hearing the result of the combination it really didn't matter.

Except to my accountant.

which transparent did you get? which revisions did you compare?

Today I have spoken with A.J. Vandenhul via telephone. He told me to change order of cables, between cd and pre ''second'', between pre and power ''Mc Silver mk3 balanced'', and finally Supernova speaker cable. Since I have ''Second'' XLR I couldn't employ it between dac and pre since Musical Fidelity kwdm25 dac has only rca output. I put my reserve VDH Jubilee silver hybrid between dac and pre and Kept ''second'' between pre and power. To be honest, when I heard first my setup after cable change, I felt like midbasses improved, detail, clarity improved, but most importantly I had a feeling that sophia's tweeters are upgraded to Focal Be tweeters.(I wish David Wilson will see ''Be'' tweeters on his designs before he passes away)
