"Forward" sounding ICs and Cables?

Ignatz. Despite the claims to the contrary from Wireworld, its cables have high capacitance. The effect you are experiencing is precisely what I heard with an amp that has proved not to like high capacitance cables, and driving difficult electrostatic speakers. It is not so much a forward cable that may be the solution, so much as a low capacitance cable.

Thank You Cornfed...... Sean

For some reason, Redkiwi's post wasn't there when i submitted my first post. Either way, his findings about interconnects with high capacitance are right on the money. They typically produce a warm tonal balance with slightly sunken or "recessed" mids with a smooth yet soft high end in my experience. As Cornfed stated previously though, this is system dependent and your results might very from system to system and component to component. It all boils down to the specific impedance that the cable and load present to the source component and finding what works best with your specific gear. Good hunting and GOOD luck. This can take a LOT of trial and error. Sean

I don't want to leave the impression that Wireworld cables sound as described, just that they (and others with moderate or high capacitance) can sound this way with some amps. Nor is there a problem with the amps - provided you use an appropriate cable.

Redkiwi and Sean - Thanks for the capacitance clue. I talked to Classe' (My amps are CAM-350s) and they said that my amps as well as the Omicron and Omega are extremely sensitive to capacitance of cables used. At least I have a place to start.
