Paragons sound fine in my system but Valhallas are thin and bright. I don't think you will find a better cable for the money.
Pure Note Paragon users, comments apprecaited...
In the past, my experience with Silver cables have been a lot of Brighness, thin sounding, and a lack of low end.
Would Pure Note Paragon IC owners be kind enough to provide comments on whether the Paragon ICs possess any of these qualities.
Also, has anyone compared this cable with the Cardas Golden Reference or the Harmonic Tech Magic Link ?
My gears are McIntosh C2200/MC2102, and am wondering which of these 2 interconnects will be better for me.
Any comments will be much appreciated,
Rick

Hi, I've been auditioning the Paragons for a few weeks now- given my particular system and tastes, I haven't found anything better, at any price. (I've tried...) To my ears, the Paragons aren't thin-sounding, bright, or bass-deficient. For now, they're the new 'reference' interconnect in my system. Hopefully, I'll find the time to write up a comparison review soon. For what it is worth, I think Jose21's review here pretty much nails it. To my ear, the particularly impressive observation about the Paragons is how they distinguish themselves more as other system components improve. I've been auditioning CD players as well- used with the 'best' player, the Paragons are so good it scares me occasionally. With the 'runner up' player, they are exceptionally good, but not as obviously superior to other cables. I've tried numerous silver, silver-copper hybrids, gold, gold-silver hybrids, etc. in the past- frankly, my sense is that conductor geometry and termination may be just as, if not more, important than the actual metal composition. System synergy is crucial as well... Good Luck, |
