What is your experience with legacy CH Acoustic cables?

I never heard of CH Acoustic so googled it and read a Positive Feedback review about them.The review reminded me so much of auditioning an ic from Audio Sensibility(Statement se, OCC silver).Really beautiful,detailed,but too soft for my taste.My preference is a more 'live' sound.The review mirrored my thoughts anyway.Now I'm wondering if a whole loom is necessary to get an accurate impression of a cable manufacture's signature sound?I've tried that in the past a few times but it only worked well once.Sounds like you hit the jackpot with your CH loom,so congrats!Hopefully more owners will chime in:-)Enjoy!

Thanks so much for your post.  Yes, I am becoming convinced the full loom is the only way to obtain an accurate impression of a cable manufacturer's sound.  

Just today, a friend and I were discussing why?...My current belief is the consistency of design.  If the design has flaws, the flaws will be exposed and heard, establishing the loom's "sound" & "character".   In this line of thinking, lesser flaws, lesser character, & more music!  :)

In addition, I finally enjoyed a more demonstrably obvious A/B comparison with the full loom.  In the past, I felt I was auditioning "tone controls" as I mixed & matched various manufacturers (and their various design flaws) for my system's cable loom.  The result was frustration and boredom.  It just wasn't compelling.  

Anyway, thanks again for your post & hopefully we'll hear from others...

My third experience w/ CH Acoustic cables (October):

Maybe you're not as decadent as I, but I've owned four different pairs of speakers for most of the 2019.  I like all four pairs.  However, in direct A/B or A/B/C/D comparisons, I kept coming away without a clear winner.  My solution..wait.  

Move forward...w/ the X10 loom...why not try again with A/B/C/D comparisons?

1.  All speakers sounded better: Takeaway - the X10 loom removed a constraint from the system...letting all four speaker pairs shine.

2.  All speakers had a more defined character:  Takeaway - w/o some (???) former loom constraints, the design flaws of each speaker pair...were more greatly exposed and obvious, establishing the speakers' sound & character.   

3.  It was so EASY to discern the speaker pair that I believed provided greater performance.  No need to do 39 consecutive A/B comparisons.  No need to tabulate my thoughts.  No headaches.  No need to call in friends and family for evaluation opinions....By the way, I've warn out this option with my wife.  :)

So...maybe you're not as decadent as I, but I enjoyed this section of audiophile roller coaster.  As an audiophile...maybe that's okay.  ;)

My fourth experience w/ CH Acoustic cables (October):

Now that I was having fun making system comparisons and remember...I'm a decadent audiophile...  :) ... I decided to test my trusted Decware amp vs. a Balanced Audio Technology VK6200.  

Exactly as occurred w/ the speaker A/B/C/D comparison, both amps sounded wonderful.  However, w/ the BAT, the sound-stage expanded and the impact expanded.  

Did the Decware lose...No...just a different way to obtain beautiful sound.  I kept them both!  

I agree that a really good pair of speaker cables will show exactly what an amp and speakers are capable of.Plus that will let you hear what is good and bad upstream so you can evaluate and address any issues.
