Jafant, first impressions are impressive. With less than 5 hours the sound was shut-in but improving with time. Currently the cable has less than 10 hours of play time so perceived differences may not be reflect the actual performance of the cable. The treble is beginning to show a glimpse of brilliance by sounding more open and extended than the Electra 7, and the midrange sounds slightly airier with more space between instruments. Basically a more open, dynamic and larger than life sound(relative to the Electra 7) which I am seeking, which is a good thing. The bass is still sounding slightly forced though.
The power cord will probably require about a week or two to break-in and I’ll see if there’s further changes after it’s all done. At this point of time I am glad to report that it is sounding better than the Electra 7 and getting close to the performance of my reference Acrolink cord which costs 5 times more.
