Nice system and room! Obviously you have more experience than I gave you credit for - posted before looking at your system page.
I agree - wish there was a shortcut with cables!

Suggestions for Cables between Playback Designs MPS-5 and Allnic L-3000 Mk 2 Preamp
Let me know what you think Tim. I have owned the Tara Labs The One, and currently running High Fidelity CT-1E cables throughout (except for CT-1U power cords). I prefer the HF cables. I have also owned many Acoustic Zen cables, but not the Absolutes. I like much about the AZ cables, except they tended to be too warm in my system. Perhaps the silver in the Absolute could help alleviate that issue. They are all good cables, which you will prefer will depend on your individual tastes and system synergy. Are you still running the Soliloquy 6.5 speakers? I was running a pair of 6.3i's until about a year ago, when I upgraded to Reference 3A Grand Veenas. Big improvement there. |
@tran_quoc_tuan and @jmcgrogan2 - Thanks for your interest and comments. To make matters even more complicated I got an incredible deal on a pair of Tara Labs OnBoard 0.3 XLR's (http://www.taralabs.com/products/item/10-controlled-bandwidth-interconnects/79-pr-ism-onboard-0-3) to add to the comparisons. So depending on how things go I might have a pair of the AZ's to part with. I'm really anxious for the shootout between the Tara and HF CT-1U. The only problem is the HF is already broken in but the Tara is new and I'm being told to expect 500 hours break in time. Does that seem right? Yes, still running the 6.5's. From what I've heard I'm going to have to go into the $30k (new) range before bettering them. But I would buy used and that will likely be the next move in my journey. Later though. |
