RE: Tangram Le' Journey Continues...



Thanks Tangram,

As I've once again been told that I should avoid using the pure silver iec plug, reason being that silver itself is a soft material much like pure copper, and overtime need some form of springs to hold the blades intact..., so I'm thinking about just going back after another IeGO 8095 pure silver - rhodium plated version at $145, as well as use the CopperColour beryllium iec plugs on several cords, yet just plan to set the CopperColour pure silver aside for now, as my mind says that just maybe I'd rather not push the top end to much, as the A6 is after all a more brightly lit type of sound compared to say the PS Audio DSD NuWave | Pro-Ject | Denafrips DACs as well as the Aurender server, which we all much much warmer | creamier sounding, so for now I'm able to fully appreciate the sound as rendered from eith a silver plated copper or pure silver ac plug in tandem with either a silver plated copper or in-plated copper iec with great end results.

Something tells me it's time to look deep within and walk away while the going ( listening ) is good enough. As I once again can't possibly see the justification in adding $200-$375 plugs onto what is again essentially a $42 power cord, my sense of rationale has to hold true to what's proven value wise, and while certain Furutech types, other than their gold plated ones look tempting, I've to remain true to my sense of peace within as well as my fixed income of late, so not unneeded items other than looking to exchange the plating types on both of the Xangsane IC's, but to what?, do I go with silver plated copper ones, or maybe a pair of pure silver Pure Sonic connectors as shown above?, which retail for $150 for a quad set. As like you, I'm more than certain the stock gold plated connectors are holding both IC's back, as far as reaching ( hearing ) their full potential.

So it seems I'm not quite out of the woods just yet, so you'll see me around for a few more moths it appears.

Later Bro.
