    Edit: And let's not forget one needs the listening *skills* to realise the differences in cables.

    Exactly. Which is why an offer to go through this with HDMI cables, matched Radeon cards, Dell IPS display, comparison was offered up by me last summer. Though in this case it would be viewing skills. Just want to see the much vaunted skill demonstrated and let the unwashed masses shown why they are in error.

    Would ICE amps work on my SDA's 1.2? I had my mind on a Mcintosh MC 402 but really do not know much about the ICE amps. Read they use less on idle but that is about it. I am currently working on upgrading the 1.2 to tl status.

    No as ICE module based amps are non common ground so not SDA friendly.Hypex UcD based amps are common ground.

    Thx, FTGV. I am slowly building a dreadnaught to run non common ground. Read some info on W4S and bel canto. Seem nice but not sure. Never listen to either one.
