Dayglo,Very interesting post, thanks.I have the same experience with scores as well. The brain hears more when it knows what to listen for.I remember how much more I heard in a Bach Fugue that I played once I finished the course in 18th century counterpint.It makes perfect sense to me that the microphones became more distinguishable after time.This phenomena could shed light on the potential limitations of blind testing if it's the only criteria used to evaluate differences in components.BTW where did you study music? Did you study conducting? Just curious if that what the score reading was from.My degree is in Clasical guitarTom
Paul.Steve K could give you much more detail as it's his system that I've heard them in. The amps just seem much more 'relaxed' and have a better controlled bottom end with amps seeing a 16 ohm load. Bryan
Hey Tomjtx,i twisted up my anti-cables and there is a difference with how the higher frequencies come across, say from 2khz and up...plus the bass stayed the same. I tried this set-up 2 years ago after the initial purchase but with a resistor based passive pre, and experienced difft results. the sound is more pleasing now - smooother.the anti-cables are easier to deal with ergonomically as a twisted pair. I don't have to be concerned with their installation (just keep 'em off the carpet) and the physical ringinginginging has been reduced due to the increased mass of the pair.i recently purchased a TVC preamp which seems to be sensitive to cable types. Speltz and Mapleshade cables sound much better than thick Belden wire based stuff (Heartland cables).BEST $50 SPEAKER CABLE EVER matt
Gordan, The copper IC will give you a different perspective than the silver.The copper is laid back compared to silver.The silver with Eichman silver give you speed transparency detail and about everything else you desire in a cable.The copper will give you all of above but with a more relaxed. My opinion is based on listening to both in my system[CDP to PRE] and inanother[CDP to PRE to AMP].As everyone knows I'm NOT a BIG FAN of SILVER.However the anti-cable silver IC is making me reconsider it is I believe the best silver cable Ive heard.Hope this helps.rollo
In fact, because I have more length than I really need, they're a jumbled mess on the carpet, stuff up under the speakers.
