Title: Cable Talk Broadcast 2 
|
views:383
|
 I used these to connect my NAD c340 to my Arcam Alpha 7se. These give good clarity, (compared to the cack standard interconnects) high frequencies sound slightly better and clearer. Thats about it. At 80 quid for 2 half metre pairs i feel pretty robbed. Im sure its a scam this cable stuff....
Used with B&W dm601 speakers(stand mounted) and monster bi-wire cable.
SUMMARY: Probably more suited to high end systems. Would not recommend for a system priced around the above set up. |

Title: Ecosse MA2
|
Rating: 5.00 views:2443

Ecosse ma2 is Imo one of the best cables money can buy, well maybe not that money can buy but within the very popular £60 -£200 bracket anyway. There are some good cables in the list below the Atlas is very good and works in most systems, the Qed Silver Spiral is very good but needs very careful system match.
Chord never does much wrong.
The thing that really puts Ecosse ma2 out in front is its even presentation and its high level of compatibility with a wide range of electric’s. It is smooth but not over lush it has bite and dynamics but is not in your face or to up-front. Sound stage is big. Detail is good. As far as I can tell it is not coloured. Build is very good
The list below is other cables I have tried yes its long (many tested on loan) but don’t think I am a true believer in all the cable hype Ecosse are as guilty as others in this respect. What I do believe is that finding the right cable for your system is very important that may well be a £20 job The Shark is a great cheap cable and will suit many systems, as is the QED 2 a little higher up the food chain.
The cables below have only been tested with Arcam (cdp and amps) Marantz (cdp and amps) Cambridge Audio (amps and pre amp) Cyrus 1 (amp)
I might as well add the speakers used while I am at it. Linn Nexus , Mission 771, Tannoy R2, Mission 751 Freedom and Pmc Fb1
Speaker cable would be Talk 3.1 biwire (really crap) the Qed oringnal the Qed SA biwire the Atlas mountain snow 4 and Merlin C12

Title: NVA Sound Cord
|
views:3047

Been using the NVA sound cord for almost a week now if I am being very very picky the sound-stage is (not small) but a touch smaller then some other cables (bad bit over)
I will not even talk about price yet, as a stand alone cable it is just the best I have ever used (and I have used far far to many from £10 - £250) I feel at last I can stop ******ing about with interconnects. Maybe I kept trying because deep down something was not quiet right. I will not slag of my expencive Ecosse over the last 3 years it has killed many many well rated cables. But the Sound Cord gives me everything the Ecosse gave me except the very large sound-stage. For me that is a very fair swap for the amazing Musical-ness I now get with the Sound Cord.
Maybe its synergy I don't know. I can still do the hifi bit if thats how I want to listen to music, but the key word now is musical and that goes for whatever crap me and my wife fancy. Over the last week we have been listening to so much more music and so much less hifi.
And here is the killer Richard/NVA sell this cable from £7ish - £12ish depending on lenght on ebay.
Now I know many people do not think interconnects effect the sound but most people do upgrade from the stock lead you get in the box. If you spend lots on cable or if you are just upgrading from the supplied cable,at £10 this is really really worth you giving a try, you never know like me it could save you £100s or even £1000s
I now have about 5 cables to sell on ebay the cheapest one left cost me 3x sound cord the dearest would get me 15 sound cords.
I wish I tried them years ago, oh well better late then never.
Ps. I have none whats so ever connection with Richard or Nva, except ofc the Sound cord :) |
