RE: Supra 3.4S ?

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.
