Cabling is the bane of my existence! Last night I took the time to reinstall the VH Audio Spectrum CU interconnects within the system, and results were positive. This morning I reinstalled the Siemens 6922 pre driver tubes, as the Spectrum are a more forward and vibrant interconnect, and from what I hear the Telefunken can be a bit lean.
So I spent a bit of time listening this morning, and this is a better balance. I have a love/hate relationship with wiring in that I hear what it does and it makes contributions at the finest level can separate the sound from being merely good to excellent. Yet I have a hard time coming to grips with the prices of this stuff, and its not like I got cheap audio gear. Couple that with the reaction any specific wire has within a system is difficult to predict, so it always feels like you are walking blind. There are times these Spectrum cables are so forward that I can't use them in a system, and I have an on and off relationship with them. I have been trying to move past them for what maybe 10 years now? Yet they stay relevant, seem a bit modestly priced, but somehow I always build systems where they work in. Go figure, audio is weird.
I think I am going to start a conversation with the fellow with the AVM amps as they intrigue me. But right now I can enjoy this amp, it works in this system it seems. Its a crazy hobby isn't it.
