In Reply to: RE: Supra 3.4S ? posted by Solidcore on November 17, 2016 at 12:50:04
Hi Jan,
Thank you for chiming in as well. As I tend to use OCC Silver plated Copper on my Source component ( DAC ) as well as from said DAC as an IC, I've found it better to stick with OCC Copper ( 6N purity ) as far with several power cords, and speaker cables. Which in my mind counterbalance one another's weaknesses while building upon their stronger points.
Weird thing is........, with the Supra3.4S in question, they were recommended to me by a buddy of mine from my Pink Fish Media days, whom owns some rather exotic gear and generally thinks outside the box on many components made in Poland | Switzerland | Germany and England, yet someone's taste I've grown to respect.
Their sound on either of my 3 different Integrated's, is one in which I hear as beauty........, in that none of the notes are forced upon you as being overly aggressive ( as some brands would've one think this should be heard as resolution or detail, where I beg to differ ) the music itself while presented in a rather refined | delicate | romantic manner, doesn't lack substance and offers a great deal of weight ( similar to what I've heard through Mini-Monitors like the original Quad Model 11L or Vienna Acoustics Haydn SEs that I once owned........, if you know what I'm getting at?, where each was solidly grounded as if one was listening through much much larger and expensive speakers ) as compared to say my once beloved Siltech Cable Explorer Series 90L | Acoustic Zen Satori | Crimson Audio R.M. Music Links, they merely feel as if they're truer to the source if you will.
While the top end comes across as somewhat relaxed, and not as extended as say my Cable Research Labs Bronze SC, I can still hear quite easily into any given recording, without straining to do so, as far as the midrange and lower midbass, I'd say it's very agile and responsive enough to transient detailing as not to be caught off guard, in other words........., have enough speed as not to be bothered by complex passages in any form, as a friend of mine ( Mick Wolfe ) puts it in regards to what he heard from said CRL Bronze LS Cables as " Even Handed ".
And when one thinks about it........., don't we all want components as well as cabling, that isn't sluggish when it comes to passing along the signal as unaltered as possible?, and as I've once again replaced more expensive speaker cables with cheaper ones, as it seems logical in my case, where both merely played tunes better, minus the flash, or horse and pony show which initially impresses, but over the long haul leaves a very unnatural aftertaste in ones mouth or soul as if something's missing.
To me........., it's that sense of purity | tonality | texture | timbre correctness that my mind and spirit seek above all else. Therein lies my biases........., it has to sound | feel emotionally correct enough to move me to tears ( where it applies musically speaking ) as well as have the ability to draw me into the very essence of each note and layer of the recordings themselves to be considered worthwhile in my mind........, otherwise to me, it serves its purpose not.
And trust me..........., this is the short-winded version, for those whom know me........, know that I'm very passionate as it relates to somethings in life, I'd write a book on this type of stuff had I had another lifetime to do so.
I hope this helps?, as I know they aren't going anywhere regardless of their low cost, as they merely became part of my finalizing the voicing process of my system, as done by ear........, it works wonderfully in said manner, and once ones system is voiced correctly......., it's harder to become swayed other wise.

Hello fantja,
As it stands, I've two Audience Au24 SE USB cables, a pair of their OHNO ICs in house, and I absolutely love them enough to know that I'll be placing an order for their OHNO III Speaker Cables and Au24 SE IC after the new year.
As it has proven to offer a sound in which fits my system, as well as my ears........., the only cable that I'm looking to add is another affordable one called the Tellirium Q Ultra Blue.
At some point I'll be adding one of the Audience AC Cords, and I'm done.
Right On! O_oscar
I certainly want to demo those Tell-Q cables/cords myself!
Keep me posted and Happy Thanksgiving!
Back @ ya fantja.
This began as a means of me narrowing down my options, but quickly became something which was answered by merely paying attention to something I already had in house, naming that Audience Au24 SE USB cable. As their little entry level IC has proven itself in my system to be a prefect match synergistically speaking of course, and serves my DAC into an integrated duties just fine.
Speaker Cabling wise........., well it has come down to their matching OHNO III and said Tellurium Q Ultra Blue, as the two I'll be pursuing as each has to match up well with the intended speakers that I plan on living with long term, so the legwork has paid off, big time. For me it's merely a matter of prioritizing what's really needed, as opposed to just wanting......., as my intention is to make certain the wife, children and grandchildren have a nice Christmas, and do what I've to for myself after the New Year, as I view it, if I don't buy these items for myself, no one else will.
No doubt if God allows me more time on the planet, you'll definitely be kept in the loop as things process........., Happy Thanksgiving to you once again as well.
I look forward in reading your reviews of those cables/cords.
Hi fantja,
You can certainly look for me to be finished with all of this around the first week of February in the new year. Once again based upon what I'm hearing at this very second........., I'm sold on the Audience sound, and look at the Tellrium Q Ultra Blue SCs, as merely away of changing the flavor of the system in those rare moments where it's needed?.
Other then that........, I'm the happiest I've ever been as a music lover, granted it has taken me 15 system changes and a lot of sleepless nights, and rethinking my mistakes along the ways to have reached this point in life, where I've finally figured it all out, and in no way shall be swayed from the path before me.
Once again......., here's wishing you and your loved ones a joyous Christmas, with a much better and safer New Year in the works for us all.

Many Thanks! o_0scar.
you do not want to rush perfection- I know. Take your time and when the finishing touches are completed, keep me posted on this journey.
It is going to be a Merry Christmas and happier New Year!
Happy Listening!

After your description I consider trying a pair of the Supra 3.4S speaker cables.
Currently I am using the "Oyaide Across 3000" speaker cables. I find this cable very neutral, very clear and dynamic in a sort of relaxed way. I want al details present.
BTW how do you connect the screen of the 3.4S ??
Rgds Jan
Your welcome Jan,
As many of my friends whom use them, have cut the screen wires, I've cut them at the speakers end, yet positioned the ones on the Amos binding post directly underneath their BFA Plugs, and secured them with their barrels.
It's a different sound, yet one I've grown very accustomed to, so much they've been in my system since their arrival, and aren't going anywhere until the Audience LS Cables have found their way here......., other then that, they're definitely here to stay.
Stay the course,
O_oh
Did your cable(s) arrive?
