Hi,
 
May I know which amp are you using with ipod classic? 
 
Thanks!

Thanks bro!
 
Sorry to ask you another question as I'm very interested in your rig setup....lol
 
May I know what is the purpose of using Cypher Solo DB and Chord Hugo? Can you advise me? 
 
Many Thanks!

Hugo won't accept directly the encrypted digital signal coming from ipod classic LOD, I needed the Solo DB to decode that digital signal and feed to Hugo. Basically the Cypher device had the Apple license to decode while Hugo does not.  When I bought the Hugo I already had the Classic/Cypher so I did not mind going double DAC. If I were doing it from scratch I may have gone different route, however there are some headphone gurus here in Indonesia who advised me this route is a way to extract best sonics from the Hugo. Whether this is true or not I do not know as I never tested.

I am looking for a very good (but not rigid) cable for my LCD-X
 
Can someone explain the difference (sound quality, sound signature and...price) between the Molecule xtreme, the molecule SE and the Symbiotic fusion.  
 
That guy really offer too much options...   
 
thanks

Very nice rig.

I've entered into week 14 waiting for my order. Should I be worried, or will there be a light at the end of this tunnel?

The light will be a sweet sweet cable that sounds and looks amazing. Trust in Peter, he will deliver...

Worth the wait for sure.  Holy Schiit, Peter, this cable (Molecule Extreme)... 
 
Scale.  Dynamics.  Focus.  Timbres.  Detail retrieval.  Realism.
 
I only made the mistake of ordering the cable 2 feet too short to listen at my keyboard, so my head is canted slightly to the left but that's OK.  The cable is so good i will probably just move my rack.
 
Still I do need to order another cable, i just wonder if his higher end cables are even better without any tradeoffs...
 
This is also a very neutral and transparent cable, probably the most so I have heard.  The timbres are just spot on, and the dynamics, the impact, decay and pitch of timpani I have never heard like this before.  THIS is transparency, when individual chorists and musicians sound, well, individual.  It's not always playing loud either, the quieter passages are appropriately delicate and feathery.
 
Anyway guess it's back to the end of the line for another cable...

Will you order another Molecule Extreme ? 
 
Have you considered also the molecule SE and the Symbiotic fusion ?  
 
I have hard time choosing between the 3 for my LCD-X !.

I’m mostly interested in the Complement 4 and how it sound compared to the Complement 3.

Not too many reports so far.

not to be trite but whatever costs the most. Im sure someone will chime in an actual observation, but my experience, if you are going for cable, go for cable.

The Comp4 is more detailed than the Comp3 and that improves the leading edge transients and decays.  I hear more of the unique sound of the venue be it studio, hall or stadium.  It's more 3D like.  Bass notes are tighter, not bloated.  Mids and highs are smoother, less strident with less siblilance.  Timbre of instruments sound more accurate and natural.

Can you really hear all those differences.... ?

Yes, I can, but not everyone hears the same so your mileage may vary.  I know most people question how much of a difference a cable can make and it's typically not a lot.  I can discern the difference and, to me, it's enough to put a smile on my face and make my mouth open a little in surprise.  I have both cables and have used them with my Fostex TH900s.
 
What it's worth to you or how much of a difference you can hear is determined by you, not me.  I'm just giving my perceptions.

Sorry to pick your brains, but would you say Comp4 has any issues with lack of midrange body or vocal recession?  As mentioned I have Molecule Extreme (copper) and find that almost perfect (as close as I have found), just wonder what Comp4 has to offer.
