In Reply to: Re: I second the AN-V posted by UtilityMan on October 26, 2006 at 11:43:20:
The AN-Vx sounded noticably thinner in my system. This thinness isn't necessarily bad since AN's gear (particular speakers) sound naturally very full and "rounded" to my ears. However, I was not a fan of the AN-Vx and sold it after only a short period. I actually preferred a non-AN cable in my AN system, but I know you true AN junkies think such mixed marraiges are blasphemy ;-)

Not at all but I've never heard that particular criticism of Vx. I should ask compared to what? Cardas perhaps? There is no absolute thinness or thickness, but Vx is thicker than V, thicker than JMR's cable, thicker than Audience Au 24. Thinner (or rather more open sounding and radiant) than Lexus and definitely thinner than any and every cable George Cardas ever dreamed of making, etc. Within the context of Audio Note cable, it is about normal in thickness to my ears, which is why I find the V a bit thin.And to keep this relativity thing going, I wonder how many people find Audio Note speakers full and rounded? Not compared with Spendors or Harbeths or Reynauds certainly. But probably compared with Thiels, B&W Nautilae, Triangles, and maybe even Merlins.
Silly game, eh?
Hmm. I find the Au24 sounds much fuller then the Vx.I know it's all relative; I find AN speakers err on the side of warmth and roundness relative to the speakers I've experienced as well as my personal definition of "neutral." It makes beautiful music, but IMO it's far from "neutral." This is not to diminish what AN speakers does exceedly well, which is to convey music in a very pleasing manner.
