In my system , The Poeima , sounds like Im using "no cables". I cannot detect any sonic signature in the cables.
I cant say they are bright , dark , lean , full, forward, recessed...IMO..they just get all the sound from Point A to Point B, without drawing attention to themselves.
Basics of my system are a Classe CDP-10 , an Integra Research RDC-7 pre , Classe 301 AMP , and Legacy Signature III speakers.
