Greg The Connoisseur cables work well with the SB, Tact and digital amps but not with the DAX. The DAX worked better with Krystal Kable's Silver Mercury or The Missing Link Reference (the Silver Mercury had the edge). Regards Gary -- GaryG -

Gary, thanks, I will follow that thread. I know of Tony's cables but never really tried them in my system. I forgot to mention the power conditioning. Yes, I do have one, my own design (I was a digital design engineer before I move into management, with few years experience ;) ). It definately

Greg I didn't have the SB3 when I had the Tact/Big Ben, I had the Off-Ramp Turbo which is similar. I commented on it with the Big Ben in this thead: http://www.meridianunplugged.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=000945#02 You might want to contact Mark_H on that forum, he uses a mo

Hi guys, I am using the digital out of the SB3 with an external linear PSU feeding a Tact RCS2.0 into a DAX Decade DAC into a TVC pre and the power amps are Nuforce Ref9s driving Vienna Accoustics Mahler speakers. I am quite happy with this set up but I slightly prefer the sound when I use my he
