Hi Jud,

Casillas, the Spanish goalkeeper is probably one of the best in the world. Sad to see him make some mistakes, which is rare, it seems that he is not in his best shape right now, anyway always has and will have brilliant moments.

As for what player among the ones you mentioned will be the star of this world cup, it looks like will be Neymar because Brazil "must" win the cup, also because he is only 22 and is able to put the team on his back and finally because the team plays for him. However, although Brazil has many advantages playing at home I do not think it's the best team in this tournament.

The Spanish league (championship), is very hard and ended recently. Also the European Cup with two Spanish clubs playing the final ended just a few week ago, it brings the consequent fatigue of the players. So Messi, Christiano, Neymar that are playing in Spain can be resent due to so many games played. Seeing the way Holland played against an exhausted and partly aged Spain I would say that should be taken into account also Robben and Van Persie.
Anyway, still must show up many important teams, starting with tonight's game between Italy and England.

Regards,
Juan

Hi Peter, the first thing that we all must do is to congratulate the Dutch. They were better and deserved to win. I would like to emphasize that they deserved the victory for their attitude and for the lousy game of the Spanish team, mostly in the second half.

I find it a bit difficult to properly understand all the arguments of your post, probably it is due to my English. Obviously I like football and follow the Spanish team but I donīt feel able to make a sociological study from it, could be interesting though, I guess.

There was a pending revenge between us and I understand the exaltation of the victory on your side, more so if such a resounding victory is against the current world champion.
I donīt know about the issues in reference to pressures on the referees or attitudes snobs from the players and I donīt know either if you are talking about of the Spanish players in this regard. My impression is that both the players and the coach of the Spanish national team always have a respectful behavior with all the other teams. That's probably why they became champions.

As I said in another moment we'll see if we can overcome this defeat, this is a championship and yesterday was just the first match. We are not definitively defeated yet and we will see very soon how far we can go.

Congratulation to the Dutch team, they were much better this time.

Hey Mani,

Congratulations on your new sound, I hope you enjoy it and I hope that we, the ones that are on the list for new NOS1a, can enjoy at least a part of that sound.
Are you using the cables that I sent you?

I see you're following the World Cup. For us, Dutch and Spanish, today is the day. May the best win! (I hope it's Spain hahaha). Well, lets play fair: Good luck also to the Oranje!

Gentlemen,

Do the Silverstone SST-EC04-P need additional power (4 pin Molex cable) or is it enough only to plug it into the MOB?

 scratching


I connected it to the PSU with the molex and if I remember well here is said that it has to be connected to the power supply.

Juan

Juan, maybe obfuscate that email address somewhat, otherwise you'll be offered more Viagra there than what's good for you.
I think. Wink

Peter

hahaha, no problem Peter I could always resell the Viagra, actually, not to brag but fortunately I do not need it yet. I remove the email just in case  Wink

Update...

I've been using a pair of 10m cables (with a signal-signal capacitance of only 47pF/m) that Juan had built up for me  by a technician he knows in Spain (thanks so much Juan). These cables are seriously good and very reasonably priced. They sound at least as good as any 1m cables I have here (including the anticables). In any event, having had them in place for the last couple of weeks now, I'm confident that these 10m cables have little or no detrimental affect on the sound...
Mani.

Thank you Mani, Iīm happy that the cables are working well in your system. If the cables work well also with the Orelo speakers Iīll be very proud and happy to share a place among such a high quality components.


Yes, I think those interlinks Juan can provide are good; he told me about them and the way it is done and I recall I liked that. Just give him a call I'd say.

Peter

Thank you Peter, I appreciate your words.

In case someone is interested in the interconnect cables, speaker cables or power cords please send me a PM.

Best regards,
Juan

Hi Juan, I'll reply to your PM tomorrow.

Cheers, Mani.

Thanks Mani
