Apologies if someone posted this already:
Can’t wait for the next best thing to come along so I can get one of these for a great price on the used market.
I got it and it’s really performing great - no matter what device I have been using (switch, streamer, NAS)
At the risk of nonsensical speculation as a result of being a permanently habituated music gadget nut (read: audiophile), after reading about the Reiki Audio Switch and OpticalBridge in Stereophile, I must wonder if a Muon Pro and an Origin P.S. could somehow join to “give birth” to a “major milestone” Network Acoustics offspring??? Quien Sabe??
Haha, a Muon/Origin hybrid would definitely turn heads 
. From what I’ve heard though, the upcoming release is a pure passive solution — basically the successor to the Muon Pro streaming system, and from what I gather, it should be a big leap.
Hope you are right, Jdee, I like the passive approach….and need one of these solutions.
Shootout NA Muon Pro vs EAhibrid EAL 2000 
I couldn’t resist and had to compare the Muon Pro streaming system to the EAL 2000. After burning in and testing for a few days I am ready to share my experiences.
Having compared a number of filters over the years I can say the EAL 2000 is a good filter compared to others on the market, and has on some transient edges an even better resolution than the Muon Pro. Though its soundstage and stereo image is lacking, overall everything is quite compressed and less expansive. To say it somehow (like most filters unfortunately) sucks the soul out of the music. With the Muon Pro the presentation felt immediately more alive, openness and three-dimensionality, better layering and excellent separation of instruments, voices. The soundstage extended further in all directions, and the music simply flowed more naturally - connecting you to the music.
So everyone who owns a Muon Pro can stay relaxed – it’s still comfortably ahead by a big margin.
Good report. This proves that different systems would result in different perspectives (quite different from Hans’ review). Now I am glad I did not go through with the purchase on EAL 2000. I will wait for the next best thing coming out, and there will be.
Thank you!
Haha thought so too And have been reaching out to Network Acoustics asking if I could try and compare their new upcoming filter. Fingers crossed they will be up for it 
Thanks here also, good luck.
You guys did it again!!! I just bought one muon pro off someone on USAM… $1930 shipped with the cable. You guys are going to make me broke!!!
Thanks for sharing this helpful information. You’ve calmed Donald down for a while.
Both of us have calmed down lately. My audioholic symptoms have been mostly gone. Am I cured? Well, I am still visiting this forum.
Is there a way to block “My next upgrade” and anything to do with cables, switches and filters?
Donald, since your audioholic symptoms are under much better control, I thought it was now safe to mention that my impressions of the Takshaka power cable were not quite as positive as yours has been. In my system, tested only on my BHK preamp, the Takshaka seemed to lack bass impact and seemed a bit too much midrange-focused for my preferences. I found the similarly priced Shunyata Alpha-X to give me the realistic body and tone I like, while the Takshaka seemed less engaging and natural to me.
Like you said earlier about ethernet filters, we all have different systems and preferences, so we don’t have to all like the same gear. Of course, I don’t have any Gryphon amps or Stealth cables in my system, so what do I know?
Even though Takshaka gets positive reviews in general, it is likely that it will not work in every system. I now use it for DS MK2 and will try it on PST later too. Based on my experience with it, it may not work well on components with tubes in them. After using it for a while, I think the gold content in it could emphasize the analog-like sound more to its midrange, and the bass may appear a bit soft.
Try it on a digital component, and it should match better.
I will get my Takshaka bi-wired speaker cables by next week. They were ordered six weeks ago, and they went through a 7-day curing process too. They probably still need a couple of weeks of burning in. I will see how do they compare to the warm-sounding Fidelium SC, especially on the mid-range and bass.
You’re probably right. The Takshaka power cable may work better on digital gear. I didn’t buy the Takshaka, but rather I borrowed it through the Lending Library at the Cable Company. So I can’t try it on my streamer or DAC at this point. Fortunately, I had already settled on the Shunyata Alpha-X for my digital gear so I was only trying to make my BHK preamp sound good when I tried the Takshaka. The Alpha-X beat out the Cardas Clear, Shunyata Theta and Delta V2, and the Takshaka on my preamp.
Best of luck with your new Takshaka speaker cables. I hope they are a great match for your system.
To include a bit of discussion on network filters and cables (which are the topics of this thread), I would strongly recommend borrowing any of this gear to try at home before purchase, or at least get a generous return policy. It’s simply impossible to know ahead of time what will work best for you.
Bought which “one”?
TIA.
You know what to do next, obviously.
I updated. Muon pro with cable
Gotcha.
Thanks.
