After the initial listening between 9001 and 9003, the 9001 went back in position between phono and preamp and then the 9003 replaced the Odin gold ( this is where I always intended to be ) they were left here where further listening commenced.
Much improved from day before which flags up to me ( more than any other cables ) that much greater benefit is achieved from leaving as is and leave overnight and to evaluate when this is achieved?
Simply the 9003 is an absolute revelation and it will take a while for my grey matter to adjust, the sheer control this has, it just takes everything in its stride but it's the lowering of colourations that realy shines through, allowing much more of the music being heard with new tonal contrasts and dynamic shadings heard now aplomb , much improved listener involvement, and goosebumps aplenty. I understand now where you are coming from EL34. To compare against the Odin gold is now pointless, where I will be desoldering the xlr and reusing. I can't wait to do the completion between the phono and preamp with the incoming 9003 bulk wire incoming.( then I can compare again also between the 9001 and 9003 and know for sure also about a settling period being more apparent here.
Regarding as a speaker wire, yes I did try, right at the start before making into xlr. They were inserted and poweramp left on for approx 3 and half days, with a couple of sessions. The sound was rather congested, with not too much dimensionality, they were just ok. Of course being 5 metres each and their gauge would not help here, it would have been entirely different if the lengths were halved again so as to have 4 x 2.5 metres so having 4x .5 millimetre conductors twisted. Iam certainly very keen here to pursue and even try the actual speaker silver wire they do . I just need to sell some of my sundries lying around.
The reason for 5 meter interconnect is because my system sounds much better when the ancillaries/ stand is at the side and not in between the speakers.
I was of the opinion just like you EL 34 regarding integrated amps as my allnic and unison research are both like this, however this changed somewhat from January with my solid state purchase, but that's another story!
A big thankyou El34 Iam over the moon I took your advice and try Xangsane silver!
ANYONE READING THIS, YOU DO NEED TO TRY THIS SPECIAL CABLE,IT REALY IS VERY SPECIAL AT ANY PRICE.
