Just giving this a listen on the recommendation of a friend. Great live performance, nicely recorded, bit like a latter day Weather Report. Well worth a listen. https://f1.bcbits.com/img/a2494691052_10.jpg I've found quite a bit of new music through this thread in the past, hopefully someone will en...

I had an A60 stereo power amp that I was using for bi-amping before I got my second pair of A80's. Just out of curiosity I tried it as a stand alone amp and found that the A80's were, to my ears, a substantial upgrade. IMHO the A40 to A80 upgrade would be well worthwhile.

Yeah, I've wondered about that too. Maybe if they appear as loaners I'll give them a go.

Well, I've had the SSC back in my system a couple of days now, so it's time for my final impression of the TIS. If you tack on the phrase 'a little more' before each of the following, you get an idea of my overall feeling for the cable: a) Bass b) Control c) Space d) Stereo image stability. There's ...

The TIS loaner went Dave's (antonio66) way today, and he should have it by tomorrow.
