After Nordost Superflatline
So I've had better-than-lampcord but generic speaker cables and recently stepped up to Nordost Superflatlines for a good deal. I had them professionally burned in using their VIDAR system at a dealer. I had really high hopes of great improvement and I did get that in the upper mids and highs (wonderful new level of detail) but lower mids and down is sadly lacking now. There's no weight at all in the midrange. Subs are helping out the lower range but the music has no soul.
So my question is, if you've had these, what have you moved on to?
i would concur that nordost ribbon type speaker cables do lean out the mids and bass compared to comparable level cables of other designs remember... what the music sounds like is a composite of changes in the whole frequency range... many after a while realize the highs sound 'clearer' BECAUSE the mids and bass have been leaned out...and so on... |
@jjss49 I suppose that is possible as well. |
I have used the similar 4Flat form Nordost and here is my journey: Nordost 4Flat (2005) -> Signal Cable Silver Reference (2007) -> Clear Day Double Shotguns (2014) -> Inakustik LS-2404 (2020) There were a few I "tried", that did not make meaningful upgrades and hence returned them. But I suggest that you try to experience them in your system. In a friend's system we tried my Clear Day and Audio Envy cables and the Envy cables were really close to the Clear Days. Mind you, the AEs were not even broken in. So that would be a good upgrade. Based on what you mentioned, I would suggest to try bi-wiring. |
@milpai Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. |
