The sheep they were made from hadn't bathed in a while, that's all.

This made my day

And functional from what I can tell, they look like thermal exchange nodes.

I believe that that AMP-13R possesses one transformer within that largest "foot".

That's as correct as it's clever

Just for fun, and because pictures are always nice! Most definitely the thickest headphone cable I've ever used.. Thanks to @Joeyjoe26 who lent me his Toxic Cables Venom build to try with the Susvara.

Compared to my AC Palladium, which is dwarfed by that behemoth which would not look out of place as some rigging on a boat...

Behemoth it is.

That's my Kind of cable!
Unfortunately it is no longer in the lineup

@Joeyjoe26 can you tell us a few details like gauge in awg and Material composition?
Edit: Found the answer on Google, it's 8x18awg pure OCC silver. That makes it even bigger than the Norne Silvergarde S4 8-wire

Was going to write the same thing

Big errr is beautiful? I bought this years ago when Frank was still alive?

Imagine this12ft cable cost gbp1k... not too ridiculous vs what present prices are...

I’ve not tried many of the latest totl cables, but I preferred this to the dhc prion 4 which I used to own

 

[Trance_Gott]

Has someone test FA-10 vs Niimbus US4/+ with Susvara?

Wow that's impressive

Hi I have a question for Susvara owners who also have the TT2

Currently, my set up is HE1000se with Hugo TT2 with Roon-HQPlayer-Qobuz-Tidal

I have the opportunity to get either:
A) Susvara (to be driven via TT2 balanced XLR out or speaker amp) or,
B) M-Scaler

Surely either option will result in a noticeable step up in SQ. In your opinion, which of the above options will give me a bigger SQ improvement?

Susvara 100%

If you already have a TT2, I would recommend the following upgrade path steps;
1) Susvara (initially run them off the TT2 balanced XLR outputs)
2) Decent Speaker Amp i.e. a Chord Toby if you want to keep the same format as the TT2
3) M Scaler
4) Decent BNC cables to connect the M Scaler to the TT2 (WAVE Fidelity STORM are excellent)
5) Decent headphone cable for the Susvara

Thanks for the recommendation, this seems to be quite a good upgrade path with some room for flexibility

based on your recommendation, I guess in your experience there is more improvement to sound with a susvara (and eventual procurement of speaker amp). My thanks! I might not get a toby for budget considerations, but the speaker amp exploration is wide open.

I am still waiting for someone to experiment on driving Susvara with the new Burson Funk (speaker taps) because this seems very promising as well!
