Canare 4S11

I received the speaker cables early this afternoon.  I must say, the fit and finish of the custom built cables are off the charts.  It is as good as any of the high end companies that charge megabucks for their cables.  I hooked them up and let them play while I was out.   I just got back (2 1/2 hours later) and I am quite surprised as what I am hearing.  At initial turn on, the sound was very bassy, highs weren't that pronounced.  Now they sound much better after only a couple of hours and I am enjoying the sound.  I won't pick these cables apart until I have a couple of hundred hours on them but so far, I like what I am hearing.

I was turned on to these a few years ago by an ultra high-end speaker manufacturer friend of mine.

I have used them ever since as my reference cables. They do indeed take forever to break-in, but once done, they are spectacular.

@stereo5  "At initial turn on, the sound was very bassy, highs weren't that pronounced."

The bass of 4S11 will taper off during break in, almost to the point of where the cable begins sounding a little to thin. At this point the 4S11 without a over pronounced midrange and lacking bass is where some people make the grave mistake of giving up on this wonderful cable. The bass eventually comes  back sounding extremely solid and positioned correctly in back of sound image but it does takes time.  When dielectric is fully burned in the highs will be perfect/garbage in-garbage out, no midrange bloom present, with solid non woolly bass. Once broke in completely the 4S11 becomes excellent tool for evaluating other cables in system, a cable version of the famed Stanton 881S phono cartridge if you will...

With 31 hours on the cables, the sound hasn't really changed since after the first two hours.  So far,  I am smitten with these cables.

Good information from Jeffrey.

Stereo - maybe I missed it, but did you go through Blue Jeans for the 4S11?
