Connecting to the music.

Hi.

It seems that my path in HiFi country has changed. I used to have a pair of Merlin VSM which in my opinion sounded better than almost everything I heard by fellow audiophiles, in shops and at shows. The Merlins just had it all. Details, soundstage, you know, all the HiFi stuff. Just lacked a bit of bass. So I had a very good sounding system. But one day I heard some danish speakers called Evox EV-1 which are refined clones of an old Harbeth construction. In HiFi terms, they are not at all up there in higendcountry, but as I sat there listening I realized that they connected me to the music like noe other speaker I have heard. So I bought a pair, and I am really enjoying myself.
Just had to explain this to you to give you some background for my question. IC's. I have Cardas Golden Ref between pre-pow, and AU24 between CD-Pre. Really good cables both of them, but I find them to belong to my old system (Good sound). Now I am looking for some IC's that can play music, get me connected, and not necessarily be (HiFi) perfect. Hope you have some ideas that can help me along the way.

If AU24 does not connect you to music, I doubt many will. AU24 is among the most coherent cable I have heard, not like most silver which has uneven peaks and valley in audible range.

Another cable to look into is Pure Note, just incredible like AU24.

Hi Semi.

I agree with you, AU24 is very coherent, just find it a bit lifeless.

FreshPuma,

Interesting on your comments regarding the Au24. I owned AudioQuest Anaconda and Volcano and the AU24 made it look like childsplay. Hmmm.. The AudioQuest did a have a larger artificial sound and dynamics to boot though.

Almost too much of a good thing in my system. It might be what you are looking for as I think system synergy is always a must. Give the AQ PSC+ a try.
