"romantic" sounding cabling

hi kats:

i auditioned a pair of eichmann cable, but do not recall its designation. it did provide resolution, but certainly not richness, otherwise, i would have kept them.

in my mind, richness implies a loss of resolution. i don't see how you can increase resolution and have richness at the same time.

"n my mind, richness implies a loss of resolution. i don't see how you can increase resolution and have richness at the same time."

with a cable I don't think you can...Add tubes to the mixture and you can.

hi jc51373:

there is a contradiction between achieving greater richness and greater reolution.

there will always be some resolution. as your "sound" becomes richer, there will be a loss of resolution.

again, there is the question of how one defines richness.

i believe a reduction in sound pressure in the treble region and a slight increase in emphasis in the lower midrange are the characteristics of richness.

mrtennis, maybe dynamics would be a good term to use? Everything just has a little more... something. Not sure about standard audiophile terminology quite yet. Just a little more... there, or real? And definitely better resolution, detail, and depth. Whatever it is I am enjoying my system with the Eichmanns in it.

I own a pair of Yamamura Millenium 6000 interconnects and would call them
"natural" or "organic" rather than romantic. I use them for vinyl and compared it to Pierre Gabriel, second from the top I think, and some very expensive Virtual Dynamics. The Yamamuras, in my system, beat the Pierre Gabriel by a moderate margin and trashed the Virtual Dynamics, which I found too bright.
I use a pair of Harmonix GP interconnects from my cd player and these, if anything are softer than the Yamamuras with more bass. I think these are great
cables for someone that's trying to get softer sound.
If anyone has Yamamura Millenium speaker cables a available, I might be interested.
