Thanks for the input, I am concerned if the hydrometry change could impact the wooden cabinets ?

Well they will ship so 3 weeks in a container, hopefully that is slow enough :) Was thinking of putting dehumidifiers in the cranes...

I am going to move my beloved hifi from the very humid Singapore climate to relatively dry Switzerland, and am a little concerned about the impact the change in humidity might have on the equipment, particularly my beloved Kef Reference speakers. Thoughts ? Not sure I will get any informed...

I downloaded a demo of the above a couple of days ago and I it seems an interesting piece of software. I have used Amarra hifi for a while (as a license was given with my DAC), so I am curious about the room correction software provided by the full version. Sonic Studio has integrated DIRAC...

If you happen to visit Singapore you are welcome to stop by and listen to my Kef Bryston combo...

Tri-wiring was not a practical option cost wise, so went ahead and got Cardas jumper cables this week-end. Bought them as cost was reasonable. Not sure if they make a difference yet, but they look very solid :)

Back into hifi world after a break - Best deal I can get on 2.5m GR cable is equivalent to 1200 GBP (they are ex-demo). I am tempted, as I like what they do. Wondering whether I should get them to redo the termination to tri-wire, which would resolve the jumper question. Any thoughts ?

Thanks for the quick response, following up with the dealer...

Stupid question on Cardas jumper cables: standard has spades on both ends. With Kef reference can you use that ? I took a look at the speaker terminals and seems that they are designed to use spade on one side and banana, not spades in and out. I am keen to give them a try :)

No I haven't made a decision yet, and have not pursued the links - Been busy during the week-end so couldn't focus on the SCs !

I haven't discussed price yet but if I go ahead I hope that I can argue that given the model is discontinued they shoud give me the demo set at a very good price... Not sure I can get GR jumper cables though, but we will see !

I have them on loan for a week, and so far I am pleased overall. Currently listening to Keith Jarett, a recording that I find sometimes tiring as it is too bright to my taste, and now comes across smoother if you see what I mean... One thing I was wondering about, do you have experience with...

The reviewer in the link below loved Nordost SC with GR interconnect, not the other way around... http://www.ultraaudio.com/equipment/cardas_golden_reference.htm For me initial impressions (but is it just my imagination ?): the soundstage is bigger, the bass slightly fuller, and overall the...

Nordost Heimdall, which a friend gave me a few years ago...

Just borrowed some Cardas golden reference speaker cables... Let's see what comes out....
