Where do I buy Siltech Firewire cables from? I searched around and couldn't find anything.
Sloppy me, I did not notice that you are in Sweden. I am not sure how an overseas transaction would work for you, but I have had products from this dealer sent to other foriegn countries.
Siltech cables are priced better here in Singapore than in the United States. If you can't find a good deal, PM me, and maybe we can figure out a way to get some sent to you either by me, or by the local dealer. I do know there are tariffs in Singapore for overseas credit card purchases. The local dealer here is Norman Audio, ask for Wee (I don't remember his last name).
Good luck.

Based on what others have said about it I wouldn't like the flavor of NWO, Esoteric or EMM Labs.
That's funny, because what most people end up saying about it is that it is the most bad-a.s.s. player they have ever heard. There have been few comments in terms of tangibles other than these kinds of superlatives. Regarding Esoteric or EMM, I didn't recommend THOSE to you.
pat, give the dCS combo some more time. from all accounts, it seems like a top notch system.
The Swedish retail price is $50k and the improvement was similar as a few sheets of ERS Paper. If I had to choose between the dCS Verdi Encore transport or a dozen sheets of ERS Paper, I would choose ERS Paper!
I think I'm going to wrap the Firewire cables in ERS Paper to see if it makes a difference.
I wrapped the Firewire and word clock cables in ERS Paper and it didn't fix the noise problem of the Verdi. After I unplugged the Firewire cable the brightness was reduced, after I unplugged the word clock cable there was a further improvement but it was smaller. But I still had brightness problems everytime the Verdi was turned on, when I put the Verdi in stand-by I got the best sound.
My Elgar Plus DAC is plugged into PS Audio Premier Power Plant and the Verdi Encore is plugged into another outlet, I guess that wasn't enough, I need to separate them more. I'm getting a PS Audio Quintet for the Verdi to see if it reduces the problem and makes the Verdi acceptable.
Do I also need to buy the Siltech BNC cable to use as word clock? Or can I buy another brand for the BNC word clock?
I'm going to put the Verdi inside the closet and I need a longer cable anyway. The spinning disc inside Verdi is very loud and it bothers me, my Cary 303/300 is much quieter even when the Cary is next to me on my table and the Verdi is on the floor. Also, the remote control of Cary is very light and I like that, but with the Verdi, the remote control is very heavy and I almost drop it, I'm not superman, I don't know why they need to make the remote controls so heavy.

I don't think Siltech or anyone else makes BNC's. I just have regular BNC cables on my Esoteric and dCS.
