Very unique experience for me today. These cables are a must with Shindo IMHO.

The A23 speaker cables work well with several tube amps. I had a pretty good synergy with my Air Tight ATM1 as well. When it comes to transistor based amps, the 'magic' is somewhat gone, especially when using very transparent gear such my CELLO mono block Encore 150.
The IC from A23 are not that great, especially the entry level model. Shindo's interconnects are much better up-to my experience.

I've never heard from any of my hundreds of customers who own the cable that they are 'not that great.' They are simply a little different than the Shindo interconnects. There are only two cables - Shindo and A23 - that are designed to work specifically with Shindo elecronics in mind. Not only in only the parameter of sonics, but also in terms of the important physical connection, with the use of low mass connectors. The Auditorium 23 interconnect cables are beautiful hand made products from Keith @ A23 and if you enjoy the speaker wire you would appreciate the interconnects as well. They are designed to work within the context of a well balanced system. Like Serge is finding out with the speaker wire in his setup. -Matt |

I really mean the cheapest A23 interconnect, not the more expensive model that I don't know.
I did pay to buy the cheaper model and had to ask for a refund after some time. The Shindo IC was used between the CD player and the Shindo preamp while the A23 IC was used between the Monbrison and the Air Tight amplifier. A simple CANARE cable already did better! Sorry this is my experience and it is also fair to mention it. Maybe because the system was not all Shindo. Or maybe only the more expensive A23 IC is doing the real good things. You might have experience with these two types of interconnects.

I heard from reliable sources that the cable you heard, that you thought was an A23 interconnect, was actually not, and not a cable put in production. The current A23 cable put in production from Auditorium 23 is a winner. Sincerely, Matt Last edited by pitch perfect; 08-15-2011 at 12:33 AM. |

Serge,
I just ordered a set of the A23 spkr cables myself along with a pair of the Shindo IC's...Your post encouraged me to pull the trigger even though I was planning to wait a little while. Share my thoughts soon although I doubt they'll be anywhere near as eloquent as yours.
