    Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!

    Most people who are interested in finding out about this new model will be following this thread so why not give us the salient points, particularly on sound quality, here? if you want to do a very detailed review as well, put that in the Head Gear section and post the link here.

    Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    I think Dan Clark Audio's Ether 2 headphones are a great match with the TT2 - they weigh 290grams. If you want to push the boat out/get the best peformance from them you might want to consider buying a Forza Audio Works Noir Hybrid headphone cable. To be fair the supplied DCA cable is very...

    Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!

    Just had a look at the European Abyss Shop. They have the Diana TC listed at £4350, the Diana DZ is listed at £3828 so a bit of a saving over TC. The pre order time is given as 2-3 weeks.

    Audio Grade Fuses

    Yes, I did. Sorry for not replying earlier - been running the MasterFuse in. I'm not the best at describing the differences in sound quality but I would say that the soundstage sounds more open and there is even more resolution of fine detail. It is even easier to follow the individual musical...

    Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    Thanks for that info. Sounds like the coax connection is acting like an aerial and picking up airborne switching noise. Quite surprised that Audiolab would have overlooked a basic design fault like that, though I suppose the 6000 CDT is built to quite a tight budget. Hoping there is a 9000...

    What's the best USB audio cable for the money?

    I only ask because a UK dealer is offering a 2.0 metre set for nearly half price so was wondering whether it was worth taking a punt on. I know their analogue cables have won awards from the likes of Absolute Sounds but I haven't seen any specific reviews or referemces to their USB cables.

    Puritan Audio Laboratories PSM136, PSM156, PSM1512 Power Conditioners

    Should have said this is really for UK readers as we have our main fuses in the mains cables feeding our equipment rather than in the hi-fi equipment itself though some items do have internal fuses which can be upgraded as well.

    Audio Grade Fuses

    I'm currently using the SR Purple in my mains cable feeding the PSM 156 but toying with the idea of swapping for an SR Master Fuse. Anyone using an SR Master Fuse in the mains cable supplying the PSM 156?In this position in the system is it a big upgrade, subtle upgrade or is the SR Purple...

    Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!

    So it should. Just checked the UK price for AIC10 - 15K! I'm hoping my cheapo Chord TT2 would sound at least decent with it?
