Regarding speaker cables only: I've compared the Oval 9, with Harmonic Technology Pro-9, and I find the opposite to be true. It is the HT that has more air, and more bass, and the Oval 9 was very fuzzy and soft, and closed in. It did have unusual synergy with a Synergistic research interconnect, however: the RCA Kaleidoscope Phase 2. I find it interesting that neither of these worked well with any other combination I tried. I've found that not one cable manufacturer makes cables that all have the same sonic character (Kimber comes very close to being the exception, however). Whatever works is fine with me, but you do have to try for yourself. Cable reviews seem like the ones that have the least "translatability" to the buying public, because they can perform so differently in different systems, with different combinations of brands (or even if they're all from one brand)...and that's not even taking into account the reviewer's own biases and hearing.
Analysis Plus or Harmonic Teck
Could someone characterize the sound or recommend which of these interconnects\speaker cable combos might work best for me. I will be running an EVS millenium DAC2 into EVS nude attenuators into a White audio labs s-200 into Thiel cs3.6 speakers. Or perhaps you might recommend some other manufacturers cables in the context of my system? Appreciated
