Hey Kinki owners. I'm at 200+ hours on my EX-M1 and loving it.
Was wondering which of you are using silver vs copper speaker cables.
I'm currently using Audio Magic Xstream speaker cables. These are a silver-over-copper conducter cable - a budget Audio Magic cable that I purchased about 16 years ago. I think I paid about $250 for them.
I want to upgrade the speaker cables. Was pretty set on auditioning the Signal Cable Silver Resolution Reference (silver), but then I noticed Nonoise' comments about getting better results with copper.
I have a bit of glare in the highs - worse on some recordings, less on others. I'm using a Schiit Modi multibit dac, and I assumed this was it. 'Busted out an old Rotel HDCD player (PCM63 - a good budget player) to A/B, and there was pretty much little difference in the glare. Maybe both the schiit and rotel cd both have this signature, but it makes me lean towards the cables as the potential cause. Maybe copper will help smooth that out. For what it's worth, a dac upgrade is planned soon as well.
I'll audition some copper cables too, but just wondering what you're using with your kinki today, and if you tried both copper and silver and what the results were.
My speakers: Bryston Mini T's - 4ohms, 85db.
Much appreciated if you can share your speaker cable setup/experiences with the Kinki. Maybe there's a trend there.
