Comments on the Cynosure

I have moved progressively up the Locus line, finally culminating in my purchase of a 3 ft. Cynosure cable.  As much as I liked the Nucleus, and I liked it a great deal, I still thought I should sample Lee's statement cable and go all the way to the top.

This is as close to "right there in your room" reproduction as the USB standard will allow, and I'm absolutely getting the last ounce of performance my gear will permit.  When you get to a point where only a $10,000 plus DAC can possibly provide additional gains, you've climbed to the ever elusive peak of the cable mountain.  I've gone from achieving nine-tenths of the possibilities (Nucleus) to ten-tenths (Cynosure).

I grant that this cable requires a sizable financial commitment.  But if you care about your computer setup yielding the best possible results, I can confidently state that the Locus Design Cynosure cable has gotten MY system as close to the ideal as I can possibly expect.

And, a few days later, after I wrote him to thank him for the kind words:

You're extremely deserving of at least this much praise, not only for the final product but for the extensive R&D that I know goes into something like this. As an audiophile, I'm lucky to even have someone like you around...otherwise, I could VERY easily give excess markup to some mass producing company where I py for packaging and "pride of ownership" and all that crap. When I see people on AudiogoN or wherever acting like it costs too much and they haven't even heard it, those of us fortunate enough to be familiar with your work damned well ought to stand up and say so...otherwise, the Lee Weilands of the world, FEW that there are, might just abandon ship and leave us at the mercy of xxxxxxx xxxxx.

So in all seriousness...thank YOU for everything you do!
