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?

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.

They are tone controls if all they offer is wires. MIT cables deliver the music intact with exceptionally realistic tone, depth, imaging and balance. I had the Goertz on loan for evaluation back in the 90's when they started out (HarmTech sent me some of their stuff as well). The Goertz are completely dismal at conveying music in a natural way. You could pick up some UHF channels with them however:O)
I picked up a pair of Soundsilver Symettry and find the sound to be very lush, and organic sounding. These cables are a combination of gold and silver for the signal and solid core copper returns of the variety found in Speltz's Anti-cables. The price to performance ratio cannot be beat and Stewart at Soundsilver is absolutely great to work with. Really fine sounding cables and the best bang for the buck in my opinion.
Red Dawn was fine but also a bit thin so I've got two sets of Puritas Audio Museaus on the way to try out. People praise their balanced sound, so we'll see.
I am loving the PAD Museaus. Very balanced, top to bottom. Better bass than my old Kimber Hero and the same transparent sound as the ribbon cables that I've tried. Harder to run because they are fatter and less flexible, but I've made it work. They are worth the trouble.
