Just checking in with you. How is your RS2T-Nikola II pairing going as you’ve gained additional burn-in use/hours?
I guess if this was the race, I would be the tortoise. Next time that I listen will surpass the 60 hours of listening.
Even to this point with the Nikola II the music is better controlled and focused. The only area of performance still lagging behind my previous RS2-T with stock PS is the tonal accuracy of the lower bass. The body and authority of the low end recently filled in, and I'm confident as things progress that it will take just a little more time to complete the process. Once that occurs, I will be completely satisfied with this combination as my source going well into the future.
I have recently placed some pure silver power cables from Lavricables (Grand and Master series) into my system and my goodness!! Improved sound quality across the board (From what was already very good.
I think I understand. My only silver cables are Kimber KCAG interconnects. Even with those I wouldn't want my system to get any warmer sounding.
After a little more break in I plan on experimenting with DAC's. That's a subject for a different thread though.
Silver cabling will have to wait a while for the tortoise.
