Incoming! The New Equipment Thread

[ngower]

lol. My cables are much more modest (at this point). I did slightly splurge on ELAC sensible cables when I got the NAD… the Sony had some crazy bs connectors.

The real kicker here is that after buying this I found the USB A-B cable I thought i had. But, as we have already established, I am wealthy and money is no object* so bring on the cables.

*I am also a liar and delusional

I hope you peasants don't find this latest acquisition embarassing, and I don't mean to flaunt my wealth, but alas:

More than I paid for my first turntable, phono stage and speakers, together lol. And no I wouldn't spend the money on cables myself unless I won the lottery.

There's so much more presence and air in the top end after making this change. Also more sparkle and decay. Extension. How many more words do I need for audiophile bingo?

I don’t want my sound to decay.

I get the impression Mather's rig IS the fiduciary reserve for a small nation.

Bi-wire/amp BJC cables.
Curious if this turns out to be a waste of time.

Our whole hobby is silly, but we can enjoy what we want and it's fun.

You take that back! It was not silly.

I just looked up receipts and it’s retail is $200 less than what I paid for my amp, table, cart and speakers.

I need to get into this Degrassi production company or whatever it is he does
