New cables to come....
Well, I finally got a bad springtime Flu !
Based on my dear and highly respected friend Dan, I placed an order for : - a complete set-up of Silver Eclipse XLR interconnects for the whole system (except the MR77 ) : MDA1000 to the C1000P, C1000P to Lyngdorf RP1, Lyngdorf RP1 to the 2301 Monoblocks ( there's one length of 5 meters for the left channel... ! ). - 2 Silver Electra PC for the 2301's. My friend JM gave me 2 high end PC of an other brand for a try and the results are just preliminary ones, but I do hear a more weighty sound. As JM's cables are too short for me, I decided to follow my Guru's choice for the Silver Electra for the monoblocks... - 4 Electra PC for the rest of the system ( Linn Ikemi cd drive, MDA 1000, C1000P, and Lyngdorf RP1). I don't know if the difference will be huge or subtle with my very low cost MOGAMI microphone Neglex XLR cables, but : 1) Life is short even if it still seems crazy to me to spend near 5K into IC and PC cables.... And I know many here have spent much more.... When I think that in many countries in this world the average salary is 50 dollars a month, I just spent into cables near 10 years of work of someone there. What a crazy world when you think about it... 2) It is difficult to refuse some hi-fi spending that comes "incognito" for the wife 3) I trust Dan very much. I never had an once of a regret after buying what he recommended to me and others. ( I hope he will be happy from his MEN220 which I may have contributed a little bit in his will to buy one...) 4) I just don't have time for time consuming cable comparative listening sessions... 5) I won't think all the time that my present cables could be a brake of some kind for great performance of my system. Next step will be changing the speaker cables. I'm very happy now with my Paul Speltz "anticables". BTW I saw that Paul introduced IC cables based on his speaker cables design. The testimonies on his site are pretty amazing. I hope I did not spend all that money for nothing... I want to try the Kimber 8TC Dan is using. It won't cost a fortune ; I just need less than 2 meters total ! Will keep you informed of the results... Cheers, Jérôme PS / Ivan is a good seller... ( and I think Dan is helping a bit, backoffice ! ) I just added to my order an AES / EBU Gold Starlight 5 to connect the Ikemi to the MDA1000.... : now I'm above 5k !
