VenHaus Pulsar™ interconnects
I am a little short on time right now, but I have tried every version of the Pulsars and the "best" sounding in my system is the Silver NextGen (followed by Silver Eichmann, Copper NextGen, Gold Eichmann).The Silver NextGen is the most transparent... 
Chord 64, ECD-1, Audio Logic, Dodson DAC opinions
I participated in the shootout Philnyc hosted and mentions above.I was the only person there who didn't own or wasn't selling one of the units. To my ears and tastes, the Audio Logic was the one and I put my money where my mouth is and bought one.... 
POWER CORD for Electrocompaniet EMC1-UP
I have the ECD-1 and I am using the Argent Audio Brujo. This pc gets more air and better spaces out the instruments in the soundstage. It also adds some sparkle on the top end.George 
Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used??
Sutts,I bought the Audiologic dac as well.I am confident you will enjoy it.George 
What tubes and power cord on the Audiologic 24MXL?
Well, I bought the dac. :-)Now to get some tubes...Thanks for your help.George 
Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used??
Thanks again to Chris for letting me "borrow" his EA ECD-1.On Monday I will lose the Audiologic 24 MXL dac, so for the rest of the weekend I will be concentrating on this dac instead of Chris' EA ECD-1.George 
Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used??
I am currently auditioning the Audiologix 24 MXL and an Empirical Audio modified ECD-1.They are both excellent dacs and significantly better than my stock ECD-1 in my system.The Audiologic is more 3-D in its images and has a more laid back present... 
Review: Audio Logic 2400 DA converter
Rcprince,Did you find that there was some sibilance in the vocals and some lightness in the bass with the stock tubes?I like many things this dac does, but I am not sure if I will pull the trigger yet.George 
What tubes and power cord on the Audiologic 24MXL?
Thanks for the responses.How long did the dac take to break in?I am finding it is much cleaner than my Electrocompaniet ECD-1 in the midrange and highs, but that it is light in the bass dept. This unit has about 60 hours on it.George 
Review: Audio Logic 2400 DA converter
So which tubes did you eventaully settle on for the new unit?How long did it take to break in? I just got one in on audition and it has only a handful of hours on it as well as the stock tubes (Sovteks - yuck!).Out of the box, the bass is a little...

Well said Tvad. I am still stunned at the performance/value ratio on the Pulsar. Although I do think there is some value in giving details such as which is more dynamic, better HF extension, etc... IF it is done on the proper context.If you say ho...

Yes, I use the balanced Pulsars (in fact, I am the one that begged Chris to make them in the first place).They are much more primarily b/c the xlr connectors are very expensive (Furutech Rhodium are $150/pair and you obviously need 2 pairs per set...

Ok, wanted to post an update on the balanced Pulsars (both Rhodium and Gold Furutechs).I am happy to report that the little bit of HF grain or glare I initial reported is all gone! It turned out that most of what I was hearing was removed by doing...

Hang in there. IMHO, the Audience are nice, but the Pulsar will retrieve more information, be better balanced from top to bottom, and produce a bigger, more lifelike image.The Pulsars take 300-400 hours before I stopped hearing improvements. One o...
