Received the two sets of interconnects I sent to Maze_Audio. (The tonearm will be at a later date).
The IC I’m listening to now is the Duelund with their original RCAs. I had Chris @ Parts Connexion make this cable for my when my Funk Firm/Townshend Rock 7 combo was running. This is when I realized that there was something funky goin’ on with the DIN connection. I did hear it briefly then and it was easily a more open, better integrated IC than the Discovery Plus 4 Balanced (using Cardas adapters) right out of the box.
Had Tim @ Maze replace the DIN with the original Duelund RCAs, so I could have another interconnect to compare in my system which will never have another DIN connection...ever. This is replacing my Marc Tunis "Silver Ghost" phono cable.
Installed it and right away, I noticed a more profound enjoyable transient response, a more immersive sound experience. Now on the Ted Nugent lp, which I know isn’t a reference recording, (although the WLP sounds great!), everything shines naturally. The lower/deep bass however seems to be muted somewhat.
So onto the Ray Brown lp. I mean everything sounds superb right now.
The piano sounds excellent! Ray’s upright bass is spot on.
I love the MT interconnects but don’t love his standard RCAs. I will replace them with KLE Absolute Harmony RCAs.
This is early on as the Duelunds have had hardly any time to break in. Fun, fun, fun!!!
BTW... I really like the Duelund RCAs. Seem to be VERY non-resonant.
