Hey George… (somewhat OT)

How’s that Persang/Soundstring comparison going? I ended up buying the new 30” pair of Persang IC’s even though they cost much more than I’d originally intended to spend.

I recently had the opportunity to compare Ric Cummins’ cables to a borrowed pair of Valhalla’s, and I was surprised to discover that I preferred the Jaden Sig’s, and the Persang beat them both. For my tastes, the Valhalla’s were amazingly detailed (somewhat etched), but a little too hard, forward, and even slightly mechanical. I was expecting them to be the best IC’s known to man, given their reputation, but they struck me as slightly too hi-fi - more head than heart. I’m looking forward to hearing your impressions of the Persang and the Soundstrings.

Back on topic: In my system, the Hot Box tightens up the bass focus without diminishing its weight at all, but I haven’t tried it with my amp, which is plugged straight into the wall via an Acme outlet. I asked Chris about a different “flavor” Hot Box – maybe a flavor 2 cord, since I’m using it primarily for source components, but he said the modded flavor 4 was the ticket regardless of what it’s feeding.
