RE: Xangsane IC's Revisited - Reimagined.




Fair enough, I see that no one has taken the time to respond to said post, but it's cool, life as intended goes on.

Yet I did wish to add an update of sort..., after having spent countless nights ( hours ) into researching said options, logical tends to resurface and I can't for the life of me justify spending between $170-$220 on a set of pure silver RCA connectors which are to once again be placed onto what's essentially a $125 pair of IC's, as it stands said research has led me to investigate brands which offer silver plated types, of which I already had a set of the Xhadow | Cardas Audio ones in-house, and received sets of the Star Line ( Silver ones, which struck me as very very impressively built for the asking price of $12 ) as well as the ones from Viborg, but...-, had seriously given thought to the brand ETI Research in some much as their Nexus plugs go, mainly because they are the screw down types of which I'd assemble onto either pair of IC's myself, but as common sense bared its ugly head, the pricing once again doesn't strike me as rational.

Yet looking closer at the silver plated cloned WBT's | AudioQuest | XSSH ( Star Line types ) | Xangsane ( Grey Knight ) it merely seems leach of these are logical options, therefore I'll be adding these to the collection.

Here's hoping that each of you've once again come to realize it's the vital pair of IC's plsced onto one's source component which makes or breaks the system?, as SCs can only place an emphasis upon the notes as they're rendered before they reach said SCs | Speakers further downstream, so paying attention to said IC's | PCs should definitely bring about more impact starting at one's DAC | Music Server | CDP or whatever relays the signal downstream and not from the other end upwards, hence one's weakness set of cables or cords in said locations aren't capable of restoring what's lost off the bat.

Lastly I'd like to point out that my constant rants on social issues aren't directed towards all of you, so don't take offend to me merely pointing out things as I've always seen them being as how I'm of African-American-Canadian decent, and can get along with any culture, yet can admit I've never done rednecks, and never shall lose my sense of pride | dignity in answering to the term " Boy ", it just isn't going to happen, so be assured of one thing..., I'm not a racist or any sort, but having done the Hippy thing coming out of the mid 60s | early 70s, where I'd only pray for a more loving | caring society around me, and was an idealistic at best, yet as I stopped watching the news over 14 years ago, due to the ongoing murders of sometimes innocent black youths, as I began to feel I don't have to see bad shit, to know it's happening in the world on a daily basis, weird thing is, this merely jumped started my more current approach of living as a realist, all BS aside, either we as human beings regardless of one's shading, " just be? ", as the old adage goes..., live and let live, or was that another one of those fake ass lies to get certain cultures to be more respectful of manmade laws?. I wonder?.

Let the BS end, and at the very least try to be respectful of those of multiple cultural backgrounds, after all, people of share are in fact the new majority. Just keeping it real.

In the end,
