"I would say Hermes hits the sweet spot for most audiophile systems." I love the honesty in that statement Alvin. Thank you sir.

Great explanation Alvin. Wishing all at Denafrips a wonderful and safe CNY.

Nice one Blake.

I second your thoughts Blake. All technical lahba lahba without having heard them in action, that too on a Denafrips thread. The audacity. Geez.

Like the comment about about how you don't care how it measures. I'm like that too, not really interested in measurements. My ears are my measuring tool. LOL.

Thank you so much for the excellent write up. It was very informative. I should be getting one in from @Roasty soon for a listen, (Thank you so much) and also looking forward to the arrival of my TC which I’m upgrading from a CC. Exciting days ahead.

Hi people, How is the Prion 4 or Toxic Cable's Medusa compared to the SC? Any one has heard them on a TC? Thank you guys.

Hi Blake, How do you think this will pair with a TC? The other option is to go for a 8-wire S4. Thank you buddy.

There u go Blake

Hi guys, I received my S4 speaker tab adapter 4days ago. Previously I was using my own custom made Tellurium Black 2 speaker cables as an adapter cable. My headphone cable is the S3 4 wire. My question, will it need time for the adapter to break in too? Thank you guys.

I concur

Hi, Not too sure about headphone cables but I know Shunyata do not recommend Rhodium plating for their power cords.

Pop corn ready. Let the burn in begin. Woooohoooo. Do you think nuking the cables will help Blake and Roasty? LOL. Have fun guys. Congrats.

Hi Roasty, Is 1.5m an absolute necessary? HDMI is best kept as short as possible and that goes for BNC too.

Hi John, That’s what I’ve been preaching from day one, the BNC cables or any cables for that matter make a huge difference. Glad you are finally reaping the true rewards of an upgrade. I’m now looking at some purist design hdmi and BNC cables, but in all likelihood I will go with my tried and...

It’s ok, I’d rather be enjoying my music then getting involved in unnecessary gibberish. I am too old for that. Happy listening.

Care to enlighten us as I am only an electrical engineer by training.

As explained by Alvin quiet clearly, there is a overload and over current protection in case of power surge, which by the way would probably trip ur incoming MCB first. I am sure designers would have taken the necessary steps to protect their equipment and not forgetting there is a 3 year...

Thank you so much for the clarification Alvin. It’s always good to clarify than to assume.

Are they using SMPS? Is this true? Please enlighten us. Can Alvin pitch in?

Hi Richard, Sorry for the ignorance, but for those of us who are uneducated in the electrical field, is this an issue? cause circuit designers use relay and auto voltage detection modules and relays to detect the incoming voltage and adjust it accordingly. They DO NOT use SMPS. This circuit...

Hi John, How do they compare? Is there a difference?

Hi, I’m currently running an Iris mated to my TP and I must say, it would keep a lot of ppl happy bunnies for a long while. Once my Gaia comes in, I will be sure to share my thoughts between the 2 units. Hope I can get the Hermes for a test too which uses TXCO clock instead of the much more...

Hi John, Cables make a huge difference as I have always preached about. U get what u pay for I guess.

Hi Blake, I’m using Abyss Phi CC headphones and I can tell u the staging improvements are clearly audible and can be heard. Transparency and resolution? Not even worth mentioning cause it’s so bloody good. One more thing just as reminder, do be careful with the Tubulus cause it’s solid core...
