Title: Introducing - Sweet Spot Reveal "Silver" Interconnects!!! DEMO TOUR REQUEST...
Post by: Sonny on 20 Jun 2010, 05:25 pm
Hi there, been working on a newer design since I know many out there are loving the old model as well.  So, here is the Reveal "Silver"!  Still solid core copper, but silver plated!  Now you still get the beauty and body of copper, but with the extended details and speed of "silver"!

Solid Core Copper / Silver Plated / Teflon Insulated!!!

Here's the reviews (by AuCirlers) of the old "reveal" copper
http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=50447.0 (http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=50447.0)

I would love to send a pair of these out for a demo / tour....if anyone is interested, please let me know!

Thanks...
Tuan

here's a picture or two!

I'd like to try them out. PM sent.

 Hi Tuan,

 Ditto on the East Coast deal.... I'd be more than happy to give them a listen. I've crafted quite a few of my own (of varying materials/designs), and prefer them to many commercial products- even the highly touted high-priced ones.


 Thanks for the very generous offer! (PM sent with details)

 Dan

 Question: will you be breaking/burning them in before shipping?

Post by: Sonny on 21 Jun 2010, 05:45 am
Guys, thanks for the great enthusiasm...
Seems like there are three so far...what I will do is send out one pair to the following:

Ed
Ted
Dan
others..

All I ask is that the first person send it to the next and so on....is that ok? 
The pair I currently have is about 20" long, is that long enough for you guys?
I think the best thing is to just send one pair so you can evaluate with only change at a time. 

So, I will send it out to Ed first, since Ed was first to reply.  From there, each will get a week, then send off to the next (Ed to Ted, Ted to Dan).  Just contact me so I can give you the address for the next person.  I hope this is ok!

The last person sends it back to me...

I will send the pair out, fully burned in, tomorrow to you Ed.

Thanks
Tuan

Looks good to me! In the interest of full disclosure, do you have any measurements with regard to resistance, inductance, and capacitance? With cables as short as 20" it shouldn't make a difference but to those who have tube gear it might be important.

Unfortunately my "multi-meter" is not accurate or sensitive enough to make this measurement, but I can take it and list the results for you if you'd like.

I am using it from my DIVA Audio MM phono with Step up with no issues, but then again, I wouldn't expect any...

Tuan
Title: Re: Introducing - Sweet Spot Reveal "Silver" Interconnects!!! DEMO TOUR REQUEST...
Post by: Sonny on 22 Jun 2010, 02:29 am
Ok, so I measured the Resistance and Capacitance of the 22inch, end to end...

For what it's worth...

R= 0.01 - 0.03 ohms (pin/pin)
C= 0.175 nF (pin/shield)

don't know how accurate that is...

Well I got the sound of the Sweet Spots sorted out.
My system, Sony SCD-XA5400ES to Modwright SWL 9.0SE
(just ordered a signature cant wait) to ClassD SDS258 125
watt amp driving Joseph Audio RM25XL speakers. I use
XLO Ref 3 interconnects amd an XLO biwire speaker cable.

The past few years I have gone up and down the ladder w/
interconnects, I used to like pure silver cables when I got some
PS Audio Transcendance, then went to Audioquest Niagra then the
economy caught up with me sold the AQ picked up Kimber Silver
Streak silver/copper hybrid cable which brings me to the point of this
reveiw, the Sweet Spot remind of the Kimbers alot, the sound is very
detailed with good bass definition and ambience retrieval, very nuetral
if I still had my Rogue tube amp I would use these cables for sure.

I say that the cables are very well built and a very good value
for the asking price.

Thanks Tuan for doing the tour it always a good time to try different
stuff in your own system for FREE!! On to the next pair of Ears

Title: Re: Introducing - Sweet Spot Reveal "Silver" Interconnects!!! DEMO TOUR REQUEST...
Post by: Gopher on 18 Aug 2010, 07:11 pm
I've spent a few days listening to my system with the SSRS in place and wanted to offer up some preliminary impressions.  Off the bat I will say I like them a lot, they're a solid product at a solid price.  They offer great tone, pace and extension on top and bottom.  In fact they some of the best low end performance I've heard on a silver cable.

Their presentation is very coherent and there just isn't much not to like thus far.  Compared to my current reference they come up just a tad short in terms of sound staging and harmonic development.  Their sound stage is reasonably wide and tall but things are just not quite as holographic as I’ve been spoiled by as of late.  This is not a knock by any means as I feel they are real killers in their price category.

I’ve done my listening with these either connecting my DAC to my preamp or my phono stage to preamp and have been quite pleased with the results in both applications.  I could easily live with these cables as they truly are quite good.  I need to temporarily move my amp when I get a chance to try the SSRS from my pre-out to amp as the tour cable is pretty short.  My tube amps connectors are just a tad too close for my reference ICs and I suspect the SSRS would do VERY well in that position. 

More to come.

Just spent 3hrs comparing your cables with my Soundsilver cables. First I'm new to hi end audio so not an expert.The system I tested on, Red Wine mod olive to RW Isallbellina Dac to Sensation 901 to GR OB7s.I could hear no difference they both sounded great to me. Will play around with them some more and let you know. Thanks for demo tour.

Thanks for the Update Gene...
Next will be Jeff, and I'll PM you (Gene) his email when it's time.

Jeff: Cool Jeff, I'll have Gene send it to you next.  The cable is only about 22" long, will that be long enough for you?

Yup, these weren't quite what I was looking for when I tested against my cdp, but between my phono pre and pre, they're just what the doctor ordered. More air, sparkle, and instruments are just more 'lively'.

It's like I goosed up the non-existent tone control on my pre, as well as engaged the 'greater presence' button, which of course my Superphon doesn't have.

Still listening Tuan, but when the tour is done, I'll probably want to buy these. And the length is fine, my clone cables that were on the phono pre were 22" already.

Great Gene, I am glad you like them!  Well, there's only one more person to audition them at the moment...but you can if you want, keep them, and I can make another pair for the other person!  Let me know!

Just bought an Ortofon MC cart from Australia, so I'll be putting vinyl away for a week till it arrives.

You can send me the address of the next person, or an invoice for this set and I'll keep them.

I strongly encourage anyone interested in hearing truly astounding interconnects to try these.  I only use Sonny's IC's in my music path and I wouldn't use anything else.  The clarity they bring makes everything like sound stage, separation, timbre, extension, (you name it), better.  They helped take my setup from great to something special. 

You are knocking on the door of genius for this kind of money.  This is the first time I tried a cable using the word "silver" that didn't sound bright at all.  Just more extension and transparency in the treble.

Thanks, Tuan.  Looking forward to comparing them to my anti-cables and signal silver cables.
Title: Re: Introducing - Sweet Spot Reveal "Silver" Interconnects!!! DEMO TOUR REQUEST...
Post by: genjamon on 21 May 2011, 03:04 am
Just finished my time with Tuan's cables.  I had been auditioning four sets of anti-cables, two with neutriks and two with Eichmann bullets.  These were in turn substituting for my normal Signal Silver cables between DAC and preamp and between preamp and amp.  Running a MacMini to a Tranquility SE DAC to Ed Schilling's The Truth to a Dayens Ampino into Tekton Lores.

I found the anti-cables more natural than the Signal Silver cables, easily preferable.  I found the anti's with Eichmann bullets preferred over those with Neutriks, just a cleaner sound.  Tuan's cables did not provide as much body to the instrument sounds as the Eichmann anti-cables, but they had a lot more micro-detail without being bright, and much greater three dimensionality.  You really connect in a much deeper emotional sense with the music.  Even on some of my worst recordings, I found they added at least a little three dimensionality to what had previously always just been a flat presentation.  Yeah, I liked them.  Still would like a little more body - for instance in the tapping of an acoustic guitar, more of the guitar body sound.  But these were the best of the bunch overall.  I'll probably be contacting Tuan to purchase at least a pair.  I'd be curious what would happen with two pair for both interconnects in my system.

Post by: rklein on 3 Jun 2011, 01:26 pm
Well, I have had Tuan's cables now for about a week and a half.   My system is as follows:

Nightshade Audio NS-60 SE Amp
Nightshade Audio Beacon III Preamp
Small fanless atom CPU running Foobar 2000 feeding a John Kenny modified Boxed HiFace MKII
EE MiniDac with a Mullard 1957 K61 12AU7 tube
Selah Audio TRT model speakers - DIY'd from a kit
Morrow Audio SP-3 speaker cables bi-wired
Morrow Audio MA-3 IC's throughout

I first put Tuan's silver IC's between my amp and preamp and listened for a couple of days.  I then put the Morrow's back in.  I found that I preferred the Morrow's a bit more as the sound was a bit more textured.  There was a little more body as well.

Then I put Tuan's IC's between my EE minidac and my preamp.  Again, the Morrow's seemed to have more body.  HOWEVER, I thought that Tuan's IC's were tremendous in portraying the mid-range! In classical music, woodwinds such as flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon were absolutely first rate. :thumb:

Someone before me stated that Tuan's cables provided "more micro-detail without being bright".  I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.  These cables are not bright in the least.  What they do is make you pay attention to what is going on inside the music which I find to be rather cool. 8)

Are they better than the Morrow's?  Depends on what floats your boat.  I find them to be sublime in classical chamber music.  I also find them very nice for female vocals.  They are clean and they are fast.  Will bassheads like these IC's?  Hmmmm...maybe not.  First impressions are that they are somewhat lean in this department.  Upon further listening, I found that the bass is just presented in a different manner.  A little tighter.  A little cleaner.

What is nice about these IC's is that you can buy them and plug them in for a different presentation of sound without breaking the bank.

I appreciate the chance to play Tuan's creations in my system and really would want to spend more time with them but I will be sending them off to the next person today.

Regards,

Randy

I have had these in my system for the last week. They were not really a compliment. They imparted a rather dark tone to the  sound of my system and were not as synergistic as my current IC's (Morrow MA2). They may have slightly improved soundstage compared to my current cables, but all in all they were not a match.
