Goertz Sounding a bit lean


After replacing my Kimber Heroes I'm now becoming aware that the Goertz MicroPurl copper are a bit lean in comparison. I do prefer the Goertz middle through top but there's definitely a compromise. Anyone ever done a Goertz vs Nordost Red Dawn comparison? Or are there any other suggestions for ribbon-like cables that are fuller sounding?

Get Silnote Morpheous or Morpheous reference. They are not ribbon like but provide a big full rich sound. I have used Goetz micropearl and speaker cables and they are on the lean side
moved from Goertz to Red Dawn speaker cable. if you think Goertz is lean, you DON'T wanna get the Red Dawn.
Thanks for the suggestions and confirmations. I'm looking at ribbon wire because I used a Lightspeed clone LDR preamp and those seem to like the ribbon ICs based on conversations with other owners. I definitely prefer the ribbon Goertz to the Hero, so I think the concept is right.
This weekend swapped one of the Goertz sets (preamp to amp) for the Red Dawn but left the Goertz between phono preamp and pre. Sounds MUCH better. Much fuller and the bass, while still a little thinner than the Hero, is certainly more tuneful. Was planning to buy a second set of Red Dawn but maybe I'll be fine without it. Cables really are just tone controls aren't they?
Hello Dhcod,

Although they can be used as tone controls in my experience they are not .. just .. tone controls and can actually make improvements to systems on a component level. The better and higher resolution of a system the more apparent the changes a cable is making will be.

best,
