Thesaint519, this will be long and boring to some, and I cannot do from iPad.
Please stand by . I have learn a lot in the past few years, i will write about it.
There is real science, engineering, economics, marketing behind each cables design.

Seemed pretty clear to me that TOGA was simply expressing his willingness to give up whatever it is that 90,000 dollar cables might provide above and beyond the qualities of the cables and their prices that he uses. I imagine everyone of us makes this decision when purchasing gear except for, possibly, the billionaires on the forum. By chance, are there any?

Actually, to pick up on this and imply he doesn't know what a "system" is and that his beautiful listening room is only filled with expensive "gear" I think is insulting, especially, as Toga seems to be trying very hard with his informative posts to allow everyone to participate in his exciting journey toward musical nirvana.

respectfully,
ron

Hi guys, this might be it.
Stage3 Magnus Prime XLR. I feel best price/ performance ratio.

MIT SHD just didn't for me.
I am saving for Transparent, either Reference XL or Opus balanced IC, but after hearing Stage3 Magnus Prime, which cost
About the same as Shunyata Anaconda Zitron or Transparent Reference. I am so eager to hear top of the line Gryphon models from stage3.

Toga.

Have you try Kubala Sosna Elation? Its character is rather close to Transparent but with a little more energy.

If you read from the start, I believed I wrote I tried, and I liked the Elation. Also Anaconda were nice sounding too. But Transparent gave better bass than all. Until now that I felt Stage3 are very character free. And these cost about the same As Shunyata s , while Stage3 are far more transparent, even more so than Transparent. Toga

Cables are so subjective. I know you have particular tastes, so I won't suggest any cables. But I will say that I really enjoy my Jorma Primes and see now reason to change. They represent good value at their price point imho.

hey David,
did you change to the Jorma from Siltech or just had those RCAs anyway?

Thanks
Orb
