  I don't use their power cable, just the IC (for one particular purpose) and the speaker cable.

  I'm extremely pleased with both of these: neither supresses detail, IMO, at least not in my system. The Nordost Blue Heaven, for example, which I use extensively elsewhere in my system, I allow nowhere near my SCD-1; it bleaches the sound, to my ears.

  I wouldn't rule *any* cable out of court because I disagree with it theoretically. The proof of the pudding is in the listening, and there are thousands of different components, and millions more combinations, most of which will sound different with different cables. Luck plays a major part (barring borrowing of the cable for advance auditioning).

    I don't know what PS Audio uses as insulation for their IC and speaker cables, but I've found that a low dielectric constant insulation material is best for all applications (other than a select few devices). my 2 cents

        A computer power cord. I found it quite amazing that upgrading a computer power cord offers a huge improvement to digital audio playback (MP3, AIFF audio files, etc). As placed on my Apple A/V computer; I enjoy a PVC insulated power cord (a Maxcable product that's a dead ringer for the PS Audio Microlab power cord) over those that use Teflon or FEP. The former just sounds more full and correct to my ear when placed on my computer.
