Agreed

I DO know what you are talking about. Its one of the reasons I sell the cables. I don't want or expect anyone to take my word for it.



I had the pleasure of another evening of music at Priaptor's home ( aka Howie) last night. We listened for about 4 hours to a lot of different music and the one thing that keep popping into my head wsa how PURE the system sounded. It has been working amazingly well but it seems to have fully broken in with all the Gobel cables and the CH Precision M-1 amp and it just sounds amazingly pure. The other thought I had while listening was it has the weight and feel of music. I am not sure exactly how to explain what I mean but many systems lack the foundation of a drum, the bottom of the piano, the resonant character of the string bass. They play the note, or the leading edge of the sound but lack the body and the weight. Howie played some older pieces that I might have heard in the past but they sounded new to me .Steve Wilson's sax mixed with steel drums , Bruce Katz's keyboards and particularly his piano on "contrition" was just scary good. The cables and now I want to highlight what Oliver has been able to design and execute are quiet. I know many would say Elliot what the heck are you talking about but you need to experience what they do.
When listening to other cables the music seems to be affected by a non black background, we have tried a few other brands over the years and I don't think it serves any purpose to name them, and none of them are able to have the music flow and float with this incredibel since of YOU ARE THERE. I am not a wordsmith and I want to convey what I hear and felt and the word that keeps coming back is PURE. These wires with the CH Precison M-1 and the MSB Select 2 and producing magical evenings.

Hello,
do you think that putting an XLR statement interconnect btween a luxman CD08u and a preamp c900 u (instead of a stealth indra v10) could change significantly the sound?

Thank you , what more would it bring? Indra V10 is not perfect, but it's a very good cable.
then why do you want to change
