I've added picture of my new speaker system. Very impressive looking!

Amazing line up of gear, you have put in some serious thought towards a great system.

Hello,

Great system!

How do you compare the sound of your analog front end with your digital front end?

I don't have a turntable, only digital. So I wonder if I should make the huge investment of time and money to get a top analog rig, or stay only digital.

Thanks!

Murataltuev, you got an amazing transport.
The CEC TL-0 Transport sounds so analog.
I heard it 5 years ago with an Audio Aero Dac.
Is that the best sounding transport you've heard.

My cables now are the new Exemplar long linear crystal silver and charged Portal cables. I have never heard anything that even approaches these cables. I had thought their long linear crystal copper cables were the very best but I was wrong.

I am not likely to be trying other cables soon. Years of being an audiophile, however, hasten me to say that I might be at some point in the future trying other cables.

My cables are very special designed by Russian engineer.
It consist of many 3mm wires.
The core of each is steel (poor conductivity) with very thin layer of cooper.
Unique design and very impressive result.
I'm not searching for cables anymore.

Wow you have gone through some very high $$$ cables.

The ASI LL is still a favorite of yours? Looking for speaker cables and think I will give the LL a go after you take on them.

Kops, I am presently using the BMC DAC1 PRE, M1 amps, and MCCI electronics with my Tidals. It is the best sound I have had with these speakers. The MCCI phono stage is just shockingly good.

hi Murat if you go with CEC check the original deigners of them who now make their own brand and it is B.M.C audio from Gemrany. You will hear a lot from BMC in the future.

Hi Mike!
Thank you. I'm very impressed with Tidal electronics.
But not much with Tidal speakers...may be need time :)
I changed my speakers to deeply reconstructed Mirage M3 and constructing some special speakers with Altec paper cones and horns :)
Looks like I'm switching to DIY for speakers and cables :)

murataltuev May 25, 2011 20:14

Congats Murat! Time to change your speakers! :)

Happy Listening,

Mike

System edited: Tidal Impact replaced Gryphon Colosseum and C.E.C. is going to replace dCS

murataltuev May 23, 2011 11:45

No power cords not impressed me.
But IC and speaker is what I use now.
KS Elations are sold out.

murataltuev February 09, 2011 18:16

You called it right concerning the ASI Liveline cable, I have the IC and it`s splendid! these will be very difficult to beat for natural musicality and realism.

Hi Murataltuev,

Have you tried the Acoustic System Liveine powercords? Are they as good as the Argento's or Odins?

Thanks.

dCS Scarlatti on sale
Linn Klimax DS on sale
Yes, Lavry Gold is that good! :)

murataltuev July 20, 2010 21:51

Arround 1k per 1m!

murataltuev July 05, 2010 16:38

How much were those new cables?

f1a July 03, 2010 02:35

All cables replaced by Acoustic System Liveline!
Only some power cords from Argento left.
Incredible result! Dramatically better resolution, dynamic and timbre accuracy!
I don't know if better cable exist!

murataltuev June 30, 2010 21:56

New digital cable arrived!
Siltech Golden Ridge RCA.
It sound slightly more transparent than Valhalla!
Also Stealth Varidig Sextet BNC arrived as clock cable.
Not very happy now, hope after warming up will be better.
Inspired with Siltech result, I've ordered Siltech Golden Eagle BNC for clock. Will see how it is in compare with Sextet.

murataltuev June 06, 2010 19:12

that how its done sir , kudos , real cucumber in the trouser effect
it always stikes me as odd when people list 6 figures gear with no pics

esotheric May 27, 2010 22:57

Photos attached, finally!
Most of dCS works as heavy stand instead of clock!
Computer transport sound is really much better when it placed on top of dCS Transport:)
