There have been quite a bit of chatter on the Audio Asylum cable threads about Ali Express/Chinese cables. Interesting read from time to time.

That well could be, Mick. Sometimes it is just okay to have great music and not worry over what equipment it is being played on. I would much rather have that then no music at all! And with your Sonos/Dali's, I am sure it is very acceptable even if it might not be the ideal placement.

Mick, I have tried my Larcs in a several different positions, on the floor as the OP here has his, I have also had them-and somewhat prefer mine-in my current room, on stands that are heavy/solid, and have a top plate foot print of the exact dimensions of the Larc base, and standing upright. I...

I tried a few amplifiers that were well recommended in my situation by Shahinian themselves. Notably from Plinius. I agree that with some of the Shinnies, amps become very critical and can be the source of a lot of ball ache. My room at the time was just a bit of a tough thing, and after...

That is a tough call. I love them both for what they do-or even can't. I once several years ago, replaced Obs with a pair of Larcs simply because they just didn't work in the bass/lower mids in my room that I had them in. The Larcs came in and did a very good job of things, yet also got a bit...

The Leben is such a nice looking and sounding little package! Enjoy!

How about some Utopia-Ra instead of Sun Ra?

That sycamore finish looks really nice!

I often wonder too, when they brought out their own electronics, how much it might have drained money from the company. I never heard them, but what few dealers that were somewhat close, never had them. No matter, it is a shame as I always loved the speakers sonics.

Oh yes, the MANA wars, what fun that was back in the day! Talking about bun fights. :)

I owned one of the original MK1 CA2 pre around 20 or so years ago. It was a really fine little preamp, have heard that this version has gone a bit further up the ladder sound wise. Good luck with sale!

"The Systemdek and new stylus have been sinning for a week or so now." Devil be out of ya! Send it off to confessional pronto. Or not, sinful music can just be so great! Hah, glad you are enjoying the combination Del! :)

Probably not! Maybe add a little caution then? In this situation and with the drivers in the DQ's, think it would be a fine situation, unless something is wrong with the amp. Just my thoughts...

Overkill? Pahhh. Throw caution to the wind and do it. :)

Nice! I really like what Malcom/Falcon have done to keep things going on the driver side of things. Hope all goes well as you get things sorted!
