This will be my final post on the Signal Cable. I made one significant change and all the issues I had with the Signal Cable resolved. Before I tell you what change that was, let me remind you that I have Signal silver resolution ic running from my pre to amp and have been happy with it. I had wireworld gold eclipse from cd player to pre and wondered whether replacing it with the much less expensive Signal cable would yield improvements (synergy?). It's important to point out that I use a Furman pf-15 line conditioner. With the wireworld ic I had found that there was glare in the upper-mids when my CD player was connected to the Furman so I left the CD player connected directly to the wall outlet. I kept my pre and amp connected to the Furman. If you read back in this thread, I commented on some of the changes I heard as the Signal was breaking in. The lows were outstanding from the start, the highs were extended and smoothed out over time, the mids seemed to be lacking warmth but there was something that just did not sound right and I was beginning to think that the new Signal cable was just not going to work for me. I had a hard time figuring out what the problem was- too much high end? not enough warmth? And then, just for the heck of it, I connected my CD player up to the Furman and like magic, everything became clearer, more musical and better balanced top to bottom. This is the best my system has ever sounded by far (wife agreed and she has better ears), so easy to listen to and the music sounds so right. I don't know why but with the wireworld and using the furman there was glare and with the Signal cable and the furman it goes away. In the context of my total system, the signal cable silver resolution is a truly great cable regardless of price but it took some experimenting to get everything to work well together. It was well worth it.
