Analysis Plus or Harmonic Teck

I agree with Carl that the HT spkr cable (Pro 9+) has better air and bass than the Oval 9. I use all HT on my system, including power (with the exception of Goertz from pre to amp, to remove some excess warmth). I chose HT Silway 2 from source for neutrality after trying Goertz, Transparent, and DH Labs. IMHO, hands down, for the money HT can't be beat. For the record, I'm using Theta digital, Levinson pre, Krell, and Dunlavy.

I should clarify that I've tried three HT cables, and the Pro 9 speaker has been the only one I've liked. I felt the Pro Silway 2 RCA interconnect had a huge hole in the upper midrange, the bass was loud but sluggish, and the treble was smooth but VEEERRRYY forward (however, the LOW midrange was perhaps the best I've heard from any interconnect, but this narrow range was the only thing the Silway did right...either thru 600 headphones and tubed headphone amp, or thru Maggies and my ss power amp at that time). The Pro 9 is nearly as smooth as AudioTruth Dragon Plus, has more bass dynamics and extension (and the DEEPEST bass extension I've heard yet...the bass speed of either of these is handily beaten by the MUCH cheaper Wireworld Atlantis 2, though...it has allowed any speaker to have a bass quickness reminiscent of the better full range esl panels that I've heard...VERY FAST), and a midrange that is transparent yet "juicy". If the Silway 2 had sounded like THAT, I would have kept it. Same for the Pro 11 power cord, it was very bright, and this has been the conclusion of everyone I've known who has tried this AC cord (who was also NOT an HT dealer...the dealers tend to like whatever they sell, of course). I'm sure there are a few who like the entire line, but I only like the Pro-9 speaker cable. Like my other favorite cables, it doesn't do "everything", but I seriously doubt that I'll ever part with it. No cable "does it all" in every situation...

And yes, those HT cables that I did not like, were indeed broken in for around 1000 hours (I had them for over 3 months, and they had perhaps 500 hours on them before I got them). Their character changed very little over break-in, and that has always been my expereince with cabling. Break-in changes the character that is apparent upon initial listening, in a very small way. I realize conventional wisdom/propoganda says otherwise, but I only care what I hear myself, and not what somebody tells me to hear.
