I updated the ‘Sylomer’ loudspeaker isolation post with a, ‘how to pick the correct Sylomer variant for my particular weight of loudspeaker.
It might be useful.

I have used, very successfully - Sylomer in several Studio constructions. Even more important is that it doesn't deterioate with age. I have samples from about 2000 that, though discolored, over time - have the same viscosity that they had, when I purchased the sheets. If one rests an entire control room on Sylomer, that's good to know.

Cheers
 
This week, GGNTKT M3 arrive, they are large and heavy and sound fantastic, gorgeous tonality with real weight.
Next week, will I be able to look at the Palmer ‘Orbit’s’ without sunglasses!
Keith
 
Three new active cardioid designs arrive in one week, which is a record!
GGNTKTs arrived Friday, AsciLabs first C8C/BX8C units expected and the ‘tangerine dream’ Palmer's new ‘Orbit II’.
Widely different price points but generally the same sonic goals, more here.
Keith
 
Audio First, Cadentia 3, AsciLab C8C, A6B and S6B, GGNTKT M3 ( M1s on their way) and even a brief flirtation with Palmer ‘Orbits’.
Ascilab released spins for the C8C/BX8C just too much.

This week alongside a new Mogami cable delivery, we also had a delivery of AsciLab’s stunning A6B ( see Phil Ward’s review for SoundonSound ) S6B and a bunch of C8Cs, oh and Harry’s Cadentia 3!

The Mogami AES/SBU pictured is about £30 for five metres so not dissimilar in price ,Neutrik connectors and guaranteed for life.
We don’t actually sell cable but Van Damme or Mogami is my recommendation.

I didn’t realize that, I expected Mogami's to be at least 4 times as expensive as the Hosa ones, as the ones I found on Amazon are. It looks like the ones you posted are different cables than the ones on Amazon, but they only sell a couple different Mogami AES cables.

So they'd definitely be worth it if that's the case, but not these...

Looks like these may be the ones you posted. If Amazon had sold those for a similar price I'd definitely have purchased those instead of the Hosas, not because they'd sound any different but because of the Neutrik connectors. Not that I think the Hosa connectors will ever fail, especially since once installed they will rarely if ever be unplugged and plugged back in very often.

This week, while we wait for Ascilab's BX8C ( dedicated sub/cardioid module for their C8C ) to arrive we have Audio First’s ‘Cadentia 3’ in Rosewood!

This week, well yesterday evening actually thanks to the redoubtable George, it’s Audio First’s Cadentia 3’s in Rosewood.
Keith
 
Audio First Cadentia 3 versus AsciLab C8C!

Keith
 
THis week's news!
AsciLab's BX8C the dedicated sub-module for their utterly superb C8C active speaker arrives next week!
Also a much anticipated C6B delivery!
Keith
 
AsciLab’s BX8C dedicated cardioid sub-modules for their active cardioid C8C loudspeakers have arrived and together they produce the best sound I have experienced in my largely untreated rom.
They are everything that their measurements suggest, ( the finest measuring loudspeakers currently available ) three presets including ‘extended cardioid’ ( cardioid response extends down to 40Hz ).
The C8C’s are phenomenal on their own but if you can afford them £5500 per pair inc vat and delivery they are worth it!
If a £10.5k speaker can be considered a ‘bargain’ then these are exactly that, particularly when you consider the price of their nearest ‘competition’ the Kii THREE/BXT ( £35k ).
Purité Audio London has every AsciLab model available for evaluation from the F6Bs ( £700 ) to the unparalleled C8C/BX8C, the finest loudspeaker designs at any price.

All the news that’s fit to print!
This week, mated the BX8C to the C8C’s, on their own the AsciLab’s C8C ( active cardioid ) are superb but together they become the ‘ultimate’ loudspeaker.
Completely full-range cardioid down to 40Hz , there are three pre-configured presets, ‘extended cardioid;, ‘normal’ 50Hz cardioid and ‘max SPL’ self explanatory!
In terms of sound quality, in my room they are in the all-time top two, alongside GGNTKT’s M3.
in terms of value for money they are on their own, the C8C/BX8C combination retails for £10500 inc vat and delivery.
It’s nearest ‘rival’ the Kii THREE/ BXT over three times the price and nowhere near as good.
All of the AsciLab range from the smallest F6BS ( £700 per pair inc vat) to the C8C/BX8C available for evaluation at Purité Audio London now.

All the NEWS that’s fit to print and some that isn’t!
Obviously there is far less interest in Hi-FI during the summer months, but a very nice chap visited yesterday to listen to the C8C/BX8C versus GGNTKT M3, he preferred the M3s 1-0 to Germany ( more than England could manage last evening ) and found the C8C a touch too ‘analytical’!
