Fusion Audio cable?

I know what you mean when it comes to having too much of a good thing pops.  One reason I plan to keep Venustas in the mix as it seems to me to be an extremely good conveyor of and a solid foundation for the MUSIC.  This cable works well with McIntosh equipment and seems to prefer the spot between preamp and amps in my experience with systems past.  I will remove the Jena Labs preamp jumper on my MA7000 integrated and put the Venustas in place there.  The Romance II, which will arrive today will go from Lampizator to MA7000 and then out to the Fusion Audio Romance "Ella" speaker cable.  I will tell you what I think after a few days of listening.  If this shows good results, I plan to go on to audition the Enchanter power cable.  Hopefully it will not be too much Romance.  Thanks again for sharing your experience Jerry!

Hey Wax - I agree with you about the Venustas.  I have also used it between my dehavilland pre and Mac's and it is a great fit.  Mine is 5 meters and I have just moved my system from the side wall to between the speaks.  I am using Wywires silver currently so the PAD is on the bench.  Having my components closer together allows me to experiment with different cables and I have several laying around.

I will be curious when you spend some time with your new Fusion IC.  Good listening!

Pops, can you post your impressions of WyWires Silver interconnects in comparison to Venustas please?  I've used the WyWires Silver USB and now using the Platinum USB, so I have a good idea what I think the WyWires sonic signature is.  I'm curious if the interconnects might be the same.  Any other input would also be welcome folks.
 Btw, the Fusion Romance II ics did not show yesterday, hoping they arrivez today.

Sure, the Wywires are ever so slightly smoother on the top end, not rolled off just more pleasing especially on cymbals for example.  I would call it more refined.  Maybe copper versus a mixed alloy?  They are also a little warmer than Venustas in the upper bass and lower midrange region that is more enjoyable, in my system at least.  I would call both musical cables, but more refinement with the WW.  The Wywires  IC's I have were Alex's first endeavor when he offered only 1 model.  He actually designed the first pair for my Thiel 3.6's which are reputed by some to have a hot tweeter, I own 2 models and have used Thiels for 20 years so I disagree.  They are just ultra transparent and must be matched upstream with components that have a tonality you want the Thiels to reveal.

I did have a pair of Eggleston Andra II's for a while (kept both Thiels) so I talked to Alex about another pair, he designed those with a little more air than the first pair due to the slightly dark character of the Eggy's.  With both pair in the path I found them too warm with the Eggy's, the Venustas was better in this case.   I ended up selling the Eggy's, they were just way too different than the Thiels, could never really get them to open up, with either Mcintosh or Classe amps.

Waxwaves as you and I both know cables are so system dependent.  I have a very revealing analog front end and utter transparancy on the back end and the Wywires are in the musical camp,  a great fit.  I also use his first PC, the Juice, on both amps and my preamp.  They offer the same refinement as the IC's and a lower noise floor.  No frequency is over emphasized which happens with so many other PC's.  

I have had success with other cables but right now the Wywires are doing the trick.  I have never tried his speaker cables.  I keep a lot of cables I buy and the Venustas will always either be in they system or on the bench.  I have not tried any of Alex's other models.

pops-

good to read that you are a Thiel fan. This is the only speaker for me, as well. Very transparent, not to be confused with, bright. Choosing the "right" cabling is key. This thread is excellent. I am a cable-guy, first  and foremost.

Happy Listening!
