Default Cables hunt for Magico Q7

Stay tune.

My current cables are Transparent Ultra MM2 interconnects
Transparent Reference MM speaker cables.

Goal is to find new interconnect to match in quality to the rest of system.


Loan cables on hands are
1. MIT Oracle MA-X2 V2 IC
2 Kubala Sosna Elation IC and SC
3. Nordost Valhalla1 SC
4 Shunyata Anaconda Zetron IC and SC

Tonight will be long night.. But i know the only way to success in choosing cables
Is to take time. Only a long time listening can tell the true story. But I don' t have such time.
Not going to pull the trigger soon anyway.

make sure that the cable are properly burnt in. I have the MA-X2, took 10 days of full time operation to stabilize.
I am interested by the results of your comparison.

Dear Toga,


Earlier this month I visited the Munich high-end hifi show. I was blown away by a few demos.

One was with NOLA speakers powered by full ARC gear (including your Ref 75). Cabling was with a complete Nordost Odin set-up !!!

The other was with ROCKPORT Altair 2 speakers driven by Absolare + MSB electronics. Cables from Echole brand. Actually I'm going to audition at home the Echole Obsession speaker cables in about 2 weeks.

I also would like to tell you that the (less known) German cable brand Schnerzinger works well with MAGICO speakers (the seller of my A-65 uses these cables on Q5 with a full Accuphase line-up). However, I'm afraid it's a concept for which you need to take ALL cables from the same brand. Nevertheless, sound quality on Q5 and also Zellaton speakers was excellent (in particular for the soundstage and no grain / very relaxed impression).

Odin are just too costly for me, though...
I'll report my findings on the ECHOLE cables. I have good hopes it will be interesting on my Sasha's

And BIG Congrats for your new dream speakers !!!

I would recommend Siltech Royal Signature series cables. I heard a pair of Q1's driven by Vitus Signature series gear & a full loom of Siltech Royal Sig series cables & was blown away...that combination had amazing synergy

+1 for Siltech Royal Signature.

Toga... The Zitron will be a interesting experience with your Q7s. Lovely sparkle & decay at the top end but I found they lacked in the mids in my system at their level of burn in when I had them.

T

Why don't you take a breath here and just break-in and enjoy the Q7's with your current gear?
It seems like your all over the place and rushing the process. Get the Q7's broken in, off the wheels and positioned, then move on to new cables, etc.
If you are not happy with the Q7's and chasing something that you have no basis to draw on it will be a never ending compromise. You are much more methodical than this!

There is no rushing. And I am totally happy of what Q7 do at current state .
I am not fixing anything in Q7 sound with cables. These are all for fun.

I just wanna upgrade IC to match Q7 capability.

As I mention I am not pulling the trigger soon, but I am a busy guy, when there is chance
To try some nice cables in two days off work that I have, why not. Not easy to arrange to
Borrow them at same time, so I took the chance.

Chance is high that I will take Transparent OPUS, just wanna find something similar at lower price.

Anyway, thanks for reminding me to calm down. I just too excited with the Q7. It s exciting to see how
They response to different cable setting..

Sadly I will not have ten days to stabilize each cables as ideal. All of them have been in constant use at showroom
However.

Toga
