The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer)

The arguments you make full time every day, over and over, has nothing to do with listening. It’s just an argument for the sake of argument. Nothing to do with audio, listening, or music

@jaytor I have a 26 foot pair of those and I think they have the same sound quality as the 1 and 1.5 meter lengths I own and love.

@rnrmf1971 - thanks. I assume these are connected to your amp. Could you share what amp you're using and what you're driving it with? I've got a number of amps, but currently using a pair of Pass XA60.8s driven by a DIY preamp. 

@jaytor  -  I use them between a Levinson 52 pre and Bricasti M28 amps, so it's a fully balanced system.

These replaced Wireworld Platinum Eclipse 7 XLR's. I used to use WW Platinum 7 throughout my system when I needed to warm it up when I had speakers that didn't have enough bass/warmth for my taste.

In a reasonably balanced sounding system, I think the Iconoclast OCC is technically superior - and for me, audibly.

@rnrmf1971 - Perfect. Thanks for the additional info. These sound like they'd be a good choice for me.
