I really enjoyed the Mogami 3103; it was my second favorite of all the cables I tried: pro and audiophile. Ultimately I settled on Canare 4s11, as I found it a little smoother than the Mogami. The Mogami had more sparkle. It's completely subjective which one you prefer. I wonder if I liked the...

It's an age old debate, we can agree to disagree. That said, what I was specifically referring too was some higher end cables that have a more romantic tuning. They're playing with some of the characteristics of the wire for a house sound. But if it's not flat, even if it's pleasing - I have...

These are not cheap! Just looked up and $2,100 for 3 meters. A bit more than I want to spend, but if it ends the journey ...

I can pull the plugs out, but they are nordost red dawn power cables which are a bit of a tight fit. So it's just a PITA to do so each time I want to swap cable. It's the most minor of problems - just wanted to understand. Thanks for the comment - what you described is what I was thinking.

That's what I've figured. At the very least, I gotta think it's a bad idea to pull out cables with the amp/preamp off, if the stators are on, because that means the amp is on - and though unlikely, If I accidentally short the wires I could blow the sub on the MLs. I "think" it should be ok if...

Incidentally - and not sure anyone knows the answer know the answer to this: can I unplug speaker cables from a powered down amp, with my speakers still plugged in? I have big power cords that are a pain to plug in and take out, but my assumption is I have to unplug them because of the subwoofer...

Thank you. So many cable to try, so many variables. Completely agree that some higher end cables sound great on some music, and are not very good on others. There is no free lunch. If it pulls out some frequencies somewhere, something is gonna suffer. I have a lot of good pro cable and a...

@twich54 I keep hearing about signal cables again and again - and you're right, they certainly don't cost an arm and a leg. What is it about them that you particularly like? Also - after reading up around the forums, I believe you started with Mogami 3082 at one point. What made you switch to...

I'm still going back and forth with all the cables I have on hand, and I'm focusing on the frequency balance primarily. I'm glad I decided to finally plug in the Canare 4s11, because my initial impression is I might like it best. That said, I've just listened to it for 30 min - so early...

Will check it out, thank you! Look, I completely understand there is a science to these things - and it should sound best (or at least work best) given the parameters you’ve outlined. That said, In my experience some wire sounds good and some doesn’t (whether it's ESLs or Dynamic speakers) - and...

Thanks! Unfortunately on the other side of the country in NY. I’ll give them a call and see if they can do anything for me.

Thanks for detailing your experience. I actually got the 3082 first, and like them quite a bit. In my system at least, the main difference is the 3103 is more extended in the treble, and the presence region was pushed back a bit on some recordings with the 3082. In general the 3082 has a bit of...

Thank you! My setup is Lumin U1 > Chord Dave/Hugo M Scaler > Pass Int 60 > ML 13As. I am in the midst of trying out a variety of speaker cables, which is why I was particularly interested in your topic. For interconnects between the Dave and Pass, I need a 20-25 ft run of balanced XLR, because...

Another vote for Qobuz. I had Tidal first, and then both for a while, and for the past couple years use Qobuz exclusively. I like Qobuz better for a number of reasons - some of which have been mentioned: - I'd rather have high-res flac than MQA. My system is setup better for flac, and...

Realize this is a bit of an old thread, in retrospect - but curious if OP settled on Iconoclast

How about Pass Labs? I think you're 15a deserves them. I am very happy with my Pass Int 60, and listened to a lot of amps - both when demoing and as loaners in my house, while I was waiting for the Pass. Nothing competed with the Pass except other Pass! If you need more juice, or want separates...

I have done a lot of research on the Iconoclast cables, but haven't tried them in my system. Their approach is definitely very interesting - and I'm tempted to ask for a loaner. What kind of effect do you hear from the TPC and SPTPC you've auditioned? I believe that Galen, the Belden engineer...

Interesting! Thank you both for your comments. ttocs - I hear the Audioquest line the same way - though I haven't gone quite as high up the ladder as you in terms of what I've tried. I have King Cobra Interconnects in my headphone system - as that gave me the tone I want. I always use Mogami...

After living with the ML Expression 13As for 6 months, and finally getting my Pass Int 60 a month or so ago, I am enjoying my system immensely. As Streamer/Dac/Amp/Speakers are really maximized, I've take a look at finding the perfect speaker cable. First a question: As I have been swapping...

I ordered a Pass Int 60 in early March and was told May/June by my dealer. This makes me slightly concerned though. Should check in with him to see a status. Anyhow, in the interim he's loaned me a Krell Vanguard. I think it sounds pretty good with the 13As. I can only imagine the upline Krell...
