Hi all, id like to add bring forward some findings for my fellow WBFers.
Id like to introduce a sublime new cable that ive been using for the past month. The Final Touch Audio XLR with Bocchino XLR connectors.
I was introduced to FTA via their terrific USB cable and was very curious to see if their house sound would transfer into their Analog interconnects as well. A few months ago I had the opportunity to compare the standard Ganymede Interconnect w/ Acoustic Revive connectors and had found it to be quite good, but not quite to the level of the Kuro Silver/Gold w/ Bocchino, which has been my reference for the past year. The Kuro simply had better resolution and livliness in the mid to upper registers.
I was very curious if the FTA cable geometry coupled with the Bocchino XLR purity might yield a match made in heaven. After listening for a month during break in, and comparing over the past few days, im happy to say that ive heard a combination that sends me over the moon.
The Bocchino FTA is a superb cable in terms of top to bottom evenness -- a very even presentation. The sound envelops, is powerful and organic, but is not artificially warm. Bass detail and presentation is a strong point, but at the same time does not over power the mids and highs. I think of this as the FTA house sound. The Bocchio FTA has superb imaging left to right and also front to back. Pinpoint accuracy in a 3d space. Listening becomes very involving when a able is providing a large amount of 3d information! The Micro-dynamic nuances are surperb, but just slightly behind the kuro silver gold w/ Bocchinos.
Should you be looking for a top notch performer that can compete with among-st the best cables going, I think you should give the Bocchino FTA a trial, it will surprise you!
