Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord.

Hard for me to articulate, but I like a lot of detail, but prefer a warmer overall sound. I feel my Mac’s help out with my B&W 802d3’s, as at times the highs can sound sharp on some recordings. However, the B&W’s are also very detailed. I also use a Lumin x1 for streaming, which is also super detailed and dynamic.

I also worked with Jason and he recommended trying the SR Foundation cables. I demo’d 3 different brands and I immediately noticed the SR was the best of the bunch. I now have SR Foundation speaker cables and interconnects. I haven’t gotten the upgraded power cables yet. 

@bwguy so in that case more detail would be not good?  If so then try cables that don't add to the detail and push the system in that direction.

I have been going through a similar experience where my Esoteric DAC/Streamer was detailed and my pass labs XA25 was warm leaning. Seems to always be a balance between detail and warmth and selecting components/cables etc that add to either side of the equation.

I love this stuff!  

Yes, it has been quite a journey for me.

Which Esoterec steamer do you have?
