Lush has been in my system for over a week now.

My new Pink Faun DAC 2.32 does not have a USB input (yet) so I am using a Wavelength Wavelink USB --> BNC converter (needs 5v)

Rest of the chain is Vsystems pro DAW with Jcat Femto USB card fed by HD plex 100 watt, Nordost Blue Heaven, Intona industial, Curious link, Regen fed by Sonore signature PS.

Impressions are in line with what others have reported: a very natural and analog sound with lots of bass and no digital harshness. Great job Peter! 200 EUR well spend. 

 

@mmerrill99 do yourself a favor and listen to the cable you have spend so much time discussing...same goes for some other contributors...you will thank Peter for it!

No idea.  I can tell you that what I did was select (on my phone) a part of what Mani had said, and tapped the “Quote this” flag that popped up.  That’s it.

the bits were flipped

@Speed Racerplease give us a break and remain quite until you have heard the Lush in a good system yourself. Might never happen but that's ok too ? Btw any upgrade plans for your system? Or are you in audio Nirvana already? Tia

Clearly the "usual suspects" aren't moving along as you requested in your OP.

 

Maybe Chris could create a honeypot thread that attracts the usual suspects and keep'em busy there while the rest move on...Maybe we will have to take shifts in feeding the trolls to keep them happy. Like @Albrecht is doing...if we are lucky they might start fighting each other ?

a properly made cable can only not add jitter, existing jitter will still be there (because the cable doesn't know and cannot edit the signal)

I think this is where you are wrong, apparently Peter has, by trail and error, found a way to influence the signal in a helpful manner. Buy one and listen for yourself.  

[m3lraaHnevetS]

just had a funny thought, will try to explain...

What if measurements of the Lush prove that the signal at the DAC output is influenced in a positive way....

Would this make the usual suspects aka unbanned trolls buy the cable? 

If so how objective will they be able to be when listening. I mean, at that point the listener would 'know' the cable is better than their 1.59 cable so they will be bias.

So in theory the cable could sound the same or worse than the 1.59 cable but the good measurements could make the listener believe what he/she hears is better because of expectation.

Just a thought.

And have you done some more listening comparisons between the Lush and the Inakustik? Any preference?

judging by his signature @barrows settled for Nordost Tyr because Valhalla requires winning the lottery

I have left this thread alone for a while, but would be interested to learn what owners think of their Lush cable. As we say in England, does it do what it says on the tin?

Love the Lush but am in the process of buying an Inakustik Reference to hear if that brings a tasty flavor...
