LOL What was that song refrain? oh yeah, "You don't piss into the
wind...."
Most of the time people spend a hundred grand on audio is because they are
in a sucker rut. My system cost less than twelve grand. Set up against one
notch less than an Audio-Note system can be, mine wins hands down. Silver
everything, oil capacitors, and a $140,000 price tag can't make up for the
power and finesse of my system.
Start with the speaker. The Apogee Scintilla is argued to be the greatest
speaker ever made. The amps I am powering it with play with it's 1 ohm like it
was a toy. My preamp, by the same builder, is second to none. I am sure of
that. At least it has trounced all comers.
My source, including an Audio Note DAC is a meager affair that has received a
great fortifying operation by the same builder. It is in the power supply, and
cap choices that make the difference.
There are relatively few outright geniuses in the audio world. Some just don't
make good businessmen. That's why you haven't heard of them, or know
their triumphs. In audio, just as with anything else, a large part of your
system success is due to who you know. I am a lucky audio freak.
Back to cables. The Anti Cable SC is NOT the last word in cable making. It's
just better than almost anything else out there, regardless of cost. And that
ties neatly into what I was saying above.
