And if it's so perfect to your ears, then I guess you won't ever try the speaker and room acoustics improvements that others have been telling you will have a far bigger impact than cabling and transport switches will ever have (something that can easily be independently verified by more than just someone's "I hear it, therefore it is" assurances).

He already said he might try speakers when he moves but for now in the space he has he'll stay with the orbs but then you never know.

Thank You Shokhead. I probably won't be posting on this board for a while because other then 15 or so people like Musicman Topspeeed Woochiver Smokey Sir Terrance Kexodisc, this board has ceased to be very useful, informative or helpful. Yeah that's a promise.

Darn. I was eager to hear about the major improvements you got by upgrading from your $40 optical cable to an $80 optical cable.

He has become the master of all things audio and "knows" everything so us morons aren't needed anymore. This is the greatest thing to happen to this board.

Go back to China, Minye. That was my April Fool's joke for which the applicable responded in kind (Musicman is not included in that category). Incidently, Paul PCI heard both my Pioneer PD-59 & Adcom setups, and did hear difference with all the set ups, albeit not night & day, even when Optic Cables were used. About the only thing we disagreed on was, he thought the Adcom also improved the PD-59 & I really didn't, but again he didn't think the improvement on it was worth the $260 or so for it. The biggest difference for which we both noticed a big difference was in his Velodyne SPL800 Series 2 Sub which definately sounded far superior than my Orb Supereight Subwoofer.

How many times have we told you that your speakers should be upgraded first?

I plan on taking him to audition some speakers which would fit his aesthetic/size prefernces, but I don't know if he'll have the budget at the moment to make a complete transformation. But we can all cross our fingers. On the other hand, given that much of his music catalog are 60s and 70s era recordings, speakers that would be too revealing might actually be a step backward for his uses. He has no qualms agreeing that for newer recordings, my system sounds better, but that's not what he listens to.

He seemed somewhat interested in trying the Yamaha YSP1.

He knows what it looks like? If I remember correctly, you heard one and were impressed, right? I haven't heard it yet.
