Cables for Sophia 2 and Burmester


Hi!

I have been looking into the possibilty of upgrading my powercords, interconnects, and speakercables. At this point I use Brahma powercords and Thor distributor, Tyr interconnects and speakercables. I have tried Valhalla interconnect between my amp and cd player, but it lacked a little body and sounded in my view a tad dry.

There are not many possibilities borrowing cables in Norway. I have looked at Shunyata Python CX for the powercords, and Stereovox / Synergistic Research / Transparent Audio / Crystal Cable for the interconnects.

I like the dynamics of the Valhalla, and the 3D sound. But in my wiew it had a little dip in the upper bass and tended to be on the dry side. Due to this female vocalists sometimes lacked body. But that is in my system.

My equipment consists of Burmester 032 integrated amp, Burmester 061 cd player, Wilson Audio Sophia 2, Revox B77mk2, and the cables mentioned. I tried the same cable set up at Quad ELS 63 with Gradient sub basses, and the lack of body and dryness was still there.

Thanks!

Hi Toffen,

I have Sophia 2s with dCS VerdiEncore/Delius and Musical Fidelity kW 500.

I have had superb results from a loom of Acrolink Mexcel cables. That is 7N-DA6100, 7N-S20000, a 7N-PC9100 to the DAC and a 7N-PC7100 to the transport. There is also one Shunyata Anaconda 20A on the amplifier.

Read Ryan Coleman's review of the Acrolink cable system on the Dagogo website. I can confirm the accuracy of Ryan's comment about the benefits of the Acrolink cables in removing the harshness from the tweeter.

I doubt that I will ever change these cables.
Three of us here have wildly different systems, Mine is Spendor or Focal driven by a MF NuVista M3, one friend has AvauntGuard Horns driven by custom tube amps and the third has Martin Logan Spires driven by MacIntosh SS. The only thing we have in common in Cardas Golden Reference speaker cable, which seems to work well in a verity of situations. The third system will have Wilson Sasha speakers in use in a week or so.
