RE: Xangsane SP-6008Ag SCs Coming Soon 2 A Theaters Near U





Hi All,

Simply following upon said post | as it seems upon my initial order for these SCs, I ended up only getting a single run, as they didn't have them listed as a pair when I ordered them, yet asked them in advance, if what was listed wasn't for an actual pair not to ship..., yet as you might've figured?, the seller shipped off said single run | which meant I had to order another one, which showed yesterday.

Let's just say while doing a comparison between these and the NearEAST Valhalla 2 SCs, that I knew immediately what others have been talking about in regards to the latter | yet upon inserting the Xangsane SP-6008Ag ( silver plated copper ) with Rhodium Banana Plugs ( yes, fake Furutech types ) earlier on this morning around 6:23AM | giving them somewhat of a workout since, yet after only listening to my usual 2-4 tracks showed that in fact ( to my ears | senses ) there's more to be had from these..., as their overall response is much clearer | quieter with a type of silent between | around each individual note as if suspected in time.

There's a certain roundness | weightier texture to the notes, which themselves linger on with an even better sense of delaying properties in which I've only experienced with a pair of more expensive SCs I've owned in the past, which cost all of $2.750, and in truth, even they were sold off awhile back | at the end of the day I've come to realize more than any other component I tend to google and take the time to read upon isolation footers and devices | cables | cords more than anything else, as I view it, if one is pleased with their electronics?, let them be..., yet if one was to focus their attention on the smallest of details in how to go about voicing each component by ear, until it reaches a certain level where it's more than capable of translating the signal ( music ) in a manner that captures not only one's imagination | but actually draws them more and more into the recordings themselves | you find yourself listening for hours and hours on end, then and only then should you feel a need to sit back | chill and focus on merely adding to your music collection | which is in truth the one common theme which has caused each of us to join said audio related forums, it's it?.

We all share a passion for music reproduction within our own space | as I've seen it for the last 30 years, essentially the components themselves are merely a means of extracting every bite of detail from said recordings as remotely possible | so with that being said, my emphasis has always been on the music collection itself, as stated earlier on, which I've had the honor of visiting people's homes with systems ranging from $50.000-$95.000 or more, I'd f and myself laughing my ass off ( inside at least ) at how these sane people only owned upwards of 25-47 LPs | CDs, which were played to death I can assure you, and remain to see it as my Dad perched to me when I was 8 years old, which obviously stuck with me, he would often say " if a person system cost more than their entire music collection?, then their priorities are to be questioned " of which I wholeheartedly agree on.

All that to say ( with my nature of being extra long-winded ass ) things have over the course cost wise since say 2016 with the globalization of one becoming more open minded to not only change | but growth in exploring cables | cords | DACs | amplification from around the world, I'm talking Chinese designs | chances are we can each get away with thinking domestically created ( so called made in the USA | designed in China ) creations are the only things worthy of one's attention | or money, the reality for me is, as solved several days ago, in having a cheap ass pair Triangle Borea BR 02s, which retailed for $449 when I ended up buying two pairs at different points of the last two years, different finishes is the logic behind doing so, yet as placed atop a pair of speakers stands costing more than both of them combined | the first thing that struck my mind upon listening to a single track was..., I felt like a total idiot having spent $2700 | $6400 on two other brands of mini-monitors, of which to my senses of late, didn't offer the type of tonality or textural beauty as these things do.

Yet being one whom isn't afraid having made mistakes privately | or publicly, it comes full circle, in knowing these same mistakes are meant to be learned from, of late it comes to mind, things have in fact become very very musical at lower cost than many of us would expect, with that being said | behind me, dare I say those that wish to spent upwards of one million or more for their systems, more power to you, as you've earned the bragging rights to do so, yet I'd say one thing..., make certain even more was invested on your music collection | or in my mind as Dad put it long ago " in a sense your priorities should be questioned ".

Be well | Stay safe to you all | which has become my usual signing off quote since the beginning of the pandemic.
