Is that a link to actual black paint?- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

She’s up and running in my rig now, hooked up to the 851n via an audience Ohno coax cable and then to the MW pre with Ohno RCA’s. So far so good. No revelations but soundstage seems to be a bit more well defined (instrument separation is fantastic) and perhaps bass has tightened up. No other observations thus far.

So based on that info, are you more impressed with the 851 to nearly keep up, or the North Star’s ability to surpass it?stangman67 wrote: »She’s up and running in my rig now, hooked up to the 851n via an audience Ohno coax cable and then to the MW pre with Ohno RCA’s.
