jafant,
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you.
The other thing I’ve been doing is comparing speaker cables. So far I’ve had Shunyata Alpha, Audience AU24 SX, and my own Wireworld Silver Eclipse 7(which I sold). In a week I will have Clarus Crimson speaker cables for a home demo.
The Shunyata is too colored in my system...it tends to mask small details and flattens the soundstage. The Audience was a very big surprise! The cable looks so unassuming and almost cheap. The sound, the sound, the sound! The Audience is open, detailed, and easily differentiates between height and front to back placement within the soundstage. In my system there’s no comparison between the Shunyata and the Audience. Compared to the Wireworld, the Audience does everything just a little better. The Wireworld is a tad bright is comparison. I was going to purchase the Audience, but I already have the Clarus Crimson coming to me and it’s suppose to be a very good match with Monitor Audio. The Audience has me so excited, I don’t really care how the Crimson sounds!
