Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline?

A pair of Franck Tschang's tuned interconnects (see Six Moons reviews) are still breaking in, in my system, but they have already "stomped" my Harmonic Technology Magic 2, HT Pro-Silway III+, and Van den Hul Orchid. While I don't have any at present, from memory I'd also say that they handily vanquish the Nordost Valhalla and Kubala-Sosna Emotion interconnects in my system. They are not HiFi spectacular, but are the most musical and least electronic sounding cables I've ever heard. Interestingly, several recording that have always sounded compressed and confused in spots, which I just attributed to the recording, are rendered cleanly for the first time with these cables and no other system changes.

Pani,
Glad to hear you have found an IC that fits your system. If you`re as please with it as I`m with the liveline, then for sure the quest is finished.
Happy and long term listening pani.

Pani, hope the Crimson IC works out for you.

I agree with your assesement on Einstein ... great stuff! When I was in the market for a preamp, the Tube MKII was on my short list.

I also agree with you about PCs ... been playing around with differnt PCs (foil, hybrid ...). It's amazing how one PC can totally alter the sound of my system. I know my system is sensitive but ... I don't understand it and always felt as long as a PC is not current limiting, it should be fine but NOT true. Crazy! :-)

Yes, PCs are total game changers which is very dicey to handle. I am planning to try out the Lessloss power cords soon as I have been "reading" that they dont alter the signature sound.

Pani, how does the Crimson compare to the Silkworms and Yamamura?
