Analysis Plus vs. Harmonic Technology


I have a Plinius 8200 integrated, Arcam FMJ23 cd player, and B&W CDM9NT speakers. Shunyata Sidewinder Golds on both pieces, and an Audioprisim Foundation 3 line conditioner, using a Shunyata Mojave power cord for the Audioprisim to the wall. All cableing is Analysis Plus. I'm not getting alot of extension, I was thinking Of Harmonic Tech. Pro-Silway mk.2 and Pro 9 plus speaker cable as an upgrade. Any ideas? Thanks.

I used to use HT Pro9 and Silway II in my system, and also heard it in a friends system. I have switched over time from Pro9 to AP's 9 gauge copper speaker cable (I forget the name). Basically, the HT speaker cable sound is more neutral and clear but also, at least to my ear, sounds a little bit artificial. I prefer the AP sound generally, with it's greater harmonic information, even though I think there may be a slight sacrifice of detail (actually it sounds more natural to me). The HT had good bass but the AP had deeper richer bass.

I tested the AP hybrid silver/copper interconnects and liked them a lot, slightly better than the Silway II, but ultimately preferred my Quattrofil. I tested the AP hybrid silver/copper 12 gauge speaker cable and found it a bit more detailed in the treble but less natural and less bass than the AP 9 gauge copper speaker cable, so I stuck with the AP 9 gauge. I eventually bi-wired the 9 gauge. Talk about bass!

I don't have any experience with HT, but found AP-9's to be a huge disapointment. Some describe it as nuetral & smooth. I found it to be veiled lacking detail & dynamics. Believe it or not, my AQ midnight III blew it out in every respect. Perhaps it would be a good match in an overly bright system, but I even doubt that.
I have HT Pro 11's hotwire biamped (1 full run each to highs and lows joined at the amp)I also use Pro Silway II's from EVS dac to ARC preamp then use Cardas Gold Cross balanced pre to ARC poweramp. I have very good detail, neutrality, timber, and beyond the speaker imaging. Hard to imagine something more without spending gobs more money.
Have to agree with Piezo that the Pro-Soilway II lacks body from CDP to Pre for me, too. Perhaps the cheaper Truthlinks could have been better, but I found a great deal on Discovery Essence, and am amazed how a richer midband fleshes out the sound. Just seems more dynamic, too.
The HT was great on my old Rotel, but certainly bettered on my EMC-1 MkII. I might sell the Pro-Silways unless I keep them for my tuner.
