Interconnects for Pass Labs X260.8

@benzman thanks! Will read up on Iconoclast. 
 

@tonywinga hey Tony. I was wondering when you will move up from those PAD Museaus interconnects. LOL. Yea the Wilsons are a clear lens into what’s going on upstream. Still experimenting with speaker and panel placement. Making small changes and evaluating. Moving speakers no more than an inch at a time. Listening for at least a few hours before judging the change.
Wilsons are extremely sensitive when it comes to placement.

I know. I had to work up the nerve to spend the money for the cables. Very good but not cheap.
The Wilson’s have one spot in the room +-0.5”. When you find the spot you will know. Lesson learned- distance between the speakers is crucial to get the bass right. Centerline distance of the speakers for me is at 9’2”. Room width 17’.
No matter where I stand or sit in the room the bass, the sound does not vary. I’ve never had a speaker do that. Sure, soundstage, images are best at center, 1.2 times speaker distance out.

i kept promising my wife I was done.  This time I really am.  The system rocks!

@tonywinga system looks great and I bet it sounds awesome!

A quick update -

I moved the speakers a bit more closer together about an inch total. That tightened up the bass, pulled the vocals a bit more into the room and the layering, depth, width and the focus of images in the soundstage went up a notch as well.
I have Audience F3 power cords on the X260.8 now that I purchased in the interim and all if these changes I’ve made resulted in a good improvement. Will continue working on it.
From the cables standpoint, planning to try Analysis Plus Silver Apex and Kimber KS1126 on loan from The Cable Co. Both sets are silver plated copper. Going to compare them to my Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper. Will post when I do some listening.

Running an X250.8 with an XP20; very pleased with Acoustic Zen Matrix XLR interconnects; I also use Acoustic Zen Hologram speaker cables.
