thin, very flexible, warm sounding interconnect...


...that is not too fragile and won't break the bank (say less than $600 for a 1 M XLR pair).

Any thoughts? I am exploring a number of solid silver braided/unshielded interconnects. But I'm wondering if these all won't sound a bit on the lean side of things.

Your thoughts (as always) most appreciated.

I found the AN-V, AN-VX and AN-VZ to have similar tonal balance which seems neutral but allows musical fullness to come thru

these are all silver cables, but I lent the AN-V to a friend and he had them about a month and during that time presumed they were copper

also FWIW I prefer Gabriel Gold Revelation cables but they are not as flexable as the AN stuff
hi philojet:

i think warm means colored, i.e., subtraction in the treble and additive in the upper bass. i doubt a cable that sounds neutral can also be warm.

i think a cable like purist audio design proteus or colossus would probably qualify ass warm. however, they are not inexpensive and not thin.

i doubt there are any warm cables which are in current production today, except, perhaps, the soundstring.
sorry mrtennis I guess I was thinking smooth and not bright in the slightest with a full and natural bass.

Maybe Kimber Hero?

Does anyone have experience with the SP2 and SP3 (recent version) and can describe the differences between the audio experience?

I know this is subjective. That's what I'm interested in.
