These cords are wonderful, especially when you can do your whole system.I found that the Master is just so relaxed in how the music is presented and that nothing is sounds forced.The soundstaging is so massive that you are enveloped in the venue with huge air around the performers. The dynamics extended in the bass and are effortless in the top octaves when you compare them to the Nite. They are not cheap but will compete with the very best outhere and offer huge resolution of redboof cd's. Brouch is correct in that you just forget about the system and get enveloped in the emotional flow of the music. I have had a classically trained flutist and a talented musician who plays many instruments, visit the listening room. They remark that the music has the same structure of notes that makes them feel as if they were playing that instrument!!. I can think of no higher accolade since I am an audiophile ( I cannot carry a tune in a basket as my grand father once told me) and not a trained musician.If you get the chance to try the Master, you may do yourself and your system a great favour in the process .
