The only cables from Silnote not covered in the review which I have heard were at the latest AXPONA show. They have a new line featuring more silver conductors, and it was even more rich than last ...

Zephyr, good comments, thanks! How deeply I enter the SET pool depends upon a couple things, including an upcoming review of speakers. If that goes as well or better than expected, then I might...

Zephyr, I was looking at your wiring of the Aeris and noticed that you seem to be jumping from the tweeter posts to the Mid and Bass. Thus (without reading your posts) I assume you are running the ...

Eugene2, yes, I think you have moved in a very upscale direction with the Vapor speakers. (Necessary disclosure; I reviewed the Nimbus White, and own it). By the time you put all that into the Swan...

Eugene2, I was looking at your system's previous components and saw the Swan speakers. I had a chance to hear them at CES one year, but came away ambivalent. Did you ever build the system with the ...
