Nordost SPM vs. Quatro Fil

I think people are going to all the threads and posts by an author that says something they don't like and giving negs to drag their overall count down. Of course it is people like this that the ratings system is supposed to weed out. Good thing the A-gon guys read the posts before banning someone. Hope this post does not offend anyone or else -2pts will go in my permanent record. +2s for for John and Cornfed just becuz.

Thanks guys. It doesn't bug me so much. I just found it amazing that TWO people took offense to the above! I have a feeling it's a handful of lurkers out there.
cheers,
John.

I just went from SPM to Quattro Fil ICs. My dealer told me the QC had as much/more resolution as SPM, was fuller thru mids and had better bass. I've had my ICs in for 2 weeks and he was right. I'm using RCAs.

I had the same problem on another thread, everything I posted no matter what the guy would vote -2,-2. John, gave you a +2,2 to even it out!

Well guys, my earlier post now has one of the highest ratings of any of my posts. (i.e it's above zero) Thanks !

On the topic of audio, I just rewired my entire system with quattro-fil and spm speaker cables. Bought a valhalla bound guy's entire set. They replaced a mishmash of spm, red dawn, and oval 9 speaker cables.

The quattro-fil is quite a bit better - my system has even more transparency and clarity than before. I could easily tell the difference sight unseen. It's an ARC ref1/vt100m2 tube system, but now it is pretty close to the detail level of my friends spectral/mit (with the $6000 mit speaker cables) system. Frankly, I was amazed at the improvement. It was quite a bit greater than I had been anticipating -and that was going from a 2 meter spm to a six meter quattro-fil i/c between the amp and preamp !

The jump from red dawn to spm is about equivalent to the jump from spm to quattro fil. When I swap one interconnect at a time, I can tell it has greater detail in about 30 seconds. I think the jump was actually greater than the difference I heard when I swapped my spm for a friend's transparent reference i/c. I didn't have the transparent cable on hand for a comparison.
