Need HDMI Cable Recommendations ?
Even the cable guy commented on the stark difference between his HDMI cable and the Mapleshade Vivilink Plus. 
Does AC Power Cord to Linear Power Supply matter?
@Lewinskih01, Obviously, I could make the comparison myself and at some point will. However, I have a few components that still need more burnin in, while there's a June 1 price increase deadline looming on my preferred power cords and I'm current... 
Does AC Power Cord to Linear Power Supply matter?
Good idea posting at Jcat. Rest of the system is HiDiamond P3s and one P4 
SATA wires vs filter
I received a slightly used SOtM PCI USB card the other day and it's really made an improvement to an already good system. Sweet and everything clear is focused. No more roaming instruments. One store selling the SOtM filter says it's better fit fo...

Thanks. My concern is that the P3 + D8 IC combo has been a little edgy (about 425 hrs in on the IC and much more on the others). 
HiDiamond Power cords...
Of course it is, but how so? Is the P4 just a whole lot better of the same or are there some differences in tonality/timbre, sense of presence and such, i.e., in its central defining character? I don't have any idea, but was wondering if the P3 is...

@Bacardi, four P3s in the desktop system, along with a D8 pair.In terms of presentation, i.e., sense of presence and tonality, are the P4s more refined - cleaner, more delicate, instruments more palpable - than the P3s? I assume the P4 is more in ... 
Hidiamond Cables, Do these reveal the live show?
I can't answer about $2K plus cables, but HiDiamond's P3 power cords are on a whole another level - maybe two! - beyond the TWLs (10+, 8+), Teresonic and the WyWires silver (Juice 2). I just got a pair of D8 ICs, which are currently on a cooker, b...

Received two more P3s today, inserted them - so three P3s and 1 TWL 10+ - and the dryness disappeared, while lots more of other things appeared.

Fplanner2000, suggestions for RCA ICs that would live better with HDs? This is dac to Focal powered speakers. 
HiDiamond Power cords...
(I posted a reply over 24 hrs ago with links to two Teresonic reviews, but it hasn't shown and there hasn't been a decline notice). Unlike most silver ICs, the Teresonic Clarison IC is not dry - I would have returned it otherwise - tho it's not pa...

Replacing mainly TWLs. I haven't found the Teresonic ICs dry, tho not warm either, and neither did the reviewers awhile back (they're allegedly still the same): http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue43/teresonic_clarison.htmhttp://dagogo.com/teres... 
HiDiamond Power cords...
I need to add that I wrote the previous post after a frustrating several hour session with the TV system. Upon return to the computer one, with the P3 between (Maestro) outlet and UberBuss, it didn't sound half bad, though still a touch dry. I neg... 
HiDiamond Power cords...
I've got a question about the HiDiamond P3's. I bought a 2m demo supposedly with 200 to 300 hours and have put in another 190 so far. I've now tried it in various positions and cord combinations in two sonically different systems (listed below), a... 
Electrical interference in desktop system
Hum-X quieted it down, now almost inaudible ear to speaker.
