Well noted.. btw, could you elaborate about the characteristics of the spkr cables please?
Follow Ups:
Sure,
Six or eight (depending) soft annealed 23 ga. silver wires, which look even under a microscope (mine) quite smooth, are coated with a double wrap of telfon. They are woven, loosely braided really, into a cable. The cable is covered with a black techflex. At each end, the separate poles of the circuit are separated, twisted, and terminated how you like.Jason does a really fine job of detail work here. These are well made. There is nothing sloppy or not up to par. They take about 200 hours to fully 'break-in", but you will get the idea of how well they work if you let them play for a couple of hours before you actually listen to them. Just go have lunch and leave the system on.
The sound is harder to identify, which is why I like them. Speaker cables, ultimately, shouldn't 'sound' at all. I am getting a solid presentation of sound. The sound stage is wider than I expect it to be. They seem to get all the signal to the speakers at the same time--no phase incoherence that I can detect.
I like them in my system, and I doubt there will be another change in speaker wire for quite some time. My whole system became a musical instrument with their addition, and I like the sound.
It's good to hear you are really enjoying your system setup.
Unfortunately for me , it's so damp hard to choose between the three items I've short listed. There are so much good thoughts on each one of them that choosing one is impossible.
Start with the one's that have amoney back guarantee. It may take some trial and error to find which is best for your system and situation.
the trouble here is all of them has that gurantee.. and most likely the first one I tried I'll like it.. It'll be unfair for me to send them back just because I wish to test others.
Within your conundrum are the seeds of your solution. What's the purpose of your seach? The achieve the paragon of choices? or Get something you will like?On the one hand you can buy all three, try them out and make a choice. Or you can try one at a time until you hit what works best in your system. Or you can stop when you are satisfied with the results. The only poor choice is non-action.
Don't let all they hype (or ego driven marketing) cloud what your ears will tell you. Many of the sellers you mention don't care to get their cables back, to be sure, yet they have made it clear that you CAN send them back and they will refund your money. Jason makes it VERY clear that if you don't like his cables he WANTS you to send them back. Just be respectful of the cables while you are making your choice. Keep them in perfect shape.
Don't worry so much. Any of the cables you have ended up with as you finalists will be fine, depending on your system.
I went through holy hell and a lot of money trying to find interconnects that sounded right. I sympathize with your wanting to spend your money wisely and well. But your system has needs that will only be satisfied by hooking up a new set of wires into a fully settled system and then making a choice based on the sound. Give yourself a break. Just jump.
I recommend the following. Give your self a choice. Try two differnt sets and make a choice. If you are satisfied, stop there. If not, try the third set. It's the only way you will make an ultimate choice.
OTOH, should you find something in the first round that makes your ears happy and your system jump into a new sonic zone. Why not be satisfied with enough, as in enough to do the job?
thanks mate.. I also think any of them will make me happy.. that's probably why I am so concern on which one to really test first.
