RE: A worthwhile $40 cable investment



It get better when you use better recordings, as a diehard jazz head.., for me it's how these cables in general ( as I've just received my fourth usb cable earlier today, which is the newly release Odin Gold ) with acoustic jazz | Afro-Cuban or Latin Jazz, or anything with percussion in it, is handled especially well.

Here are but two example of how I hear drumming or cymbal decay with sad cables, do yourself a favor and download both from Qobuz in Apple Lossless or AIFF ( where they can be purchased ), said songs are:

(1) John Coltrane - Title " Wise One ".

(2) Earl Klugh | Bob James - Title " Wes "

Upon listening through both, see if in fact you can detect something very very different going on with said drumming technique?.

And while I don't listen to rock | I can tolerate soft rock from the 60s | 70s, as many of these if recordings before 1968 still had tubes somewhere within the recording chain, as well as recorded in mono, with its extra sense of weight, sound very very nice.

By all means, keep us posted.
