Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: More thoughts on wire direction:

Today a client came and brought his Benchmark 1 DAC to listen to it on our system. We plugged it into an Arcam Delta 70.2 transport.

He wanted to listen to several SPDIF cables on his DAC. So we A-B-A-B "ied" him. Subjectively he preferred some, hated others. When we stopped at the one he preferred the most, my colleague changed its direction without telling him what he was doing. I was listening too and I liked the "B" direction instead of "A", but instead of saying it, I waited for the client to share his opinion first. He told us he liked "this new cable" (B) even more than the previous one and described us what he heard. Then we told him about the direction thing.
Many clients (including me) who were once skeptics, came out non-skeptics and never changed their minds.
