Cables more hype than value?

i should also add, i used the vincent as a transport to the ps audio perfect wave dac (the original). there was no forwardness with that combo, either.

the vincent makes an excellent transport.

I changed a tube again and depth increased.

besides the digital source, the pre amp, amp and speakers also determine the soundstage,

while a cable may have tendencies, they can be counteracted by other changes in your stereo system.

@ Mrtennis, Hi, I agree with your last post,The vincent players uses teac transports, they work fine to me as well!, I may buy another vincent for the second system I will build!, I am going to audition the Esoteric K-03 player in due time, If that sounds fantastic, I will go with that on the main system, If it does not, Its vincent all the way baby!, they are very musical players indeed!, cheers.

Often you need to buy better tubes wenn you want to buy a Vincent. Often within one years the sound of there own tubes was not the same anymore as wenn they were new.

Thanks Bo1972, I did not know that, my problem I have with vincent is, If I am not mistaken, the tubes in the vincent cd-s7 are hard wired!, I have never seen that before, do you believe that could be chanched some where socket tube plug in like most componets out there?
