RE: Tangram Le' Journey Continues...





Hello Aspheric,

Your welcome, my apologies for at time getting rather long-winged, as well as ranting on and on about social matters, but one has to speak their minds on things which occur around them, correct?, which I do.

As for the mismatched photos I've been adding to my post for years now. Were initially saved into my photo library as sort of visual reminders to myself, of items which interested me, as well as pass onto a few friends of mine, whom over the years since 2004 would ask me about certain items that I'd recommend on their behalf, so instead of collecting pages of reviews, I chose to save said visual reminders, of which some of us view secretly as audio prone, of eye candy, in other words they were added to capture the imagine of those curious types just enough where some would also write me asking which brands they were?, and some have actually gone on to buy them, those of means I'd add.

Back on point, as it relates to the cord, I see that you've gone with the copper plugs, or tandem of a gold plated AC and red copper IEC, am I correct?. In my case after ending up with three of these cords, I ended up settling on combinations of pure silver on one cord, and silver plated as the male connectors and red copper female on the other two cords, which ideally were better suited to be used on several music servers ( dacs ) or linear power supply, as means of restoring some sort of balance to each item as heard collectively, based upon what I've also long referred to as " Mi-Fi ", meaning each were voiced as such to please my ear above all else.

And as the end result, I no longer have anything else to learn about cables, as my current venture has me replacing the RCA connectors on all of my favorite pairs of IC's ( regardless of the fact their base metals are pure silver | pure copper or silver plated copper? ) to be used with either Star Line or AECO silver plated connectors, and upon listening to two pairs of said tandems just two days ago, let's just say that I've finally come to a place in time, where I'm totally content I've found " Mi-Sound ", and have lost the desire to change, or look elsewhere, so I'm done with chasing a type of signature other than the one it has taken me 46 years to discover.

Wisdom says " leave it along ", as I shall.

It's nice to see that a few of you were able to hear the potential this very cord has to offer, it all came down to tailoring its sound to ear, by finding which flavor of plugs matched optimally with one's system.

Until next time | enjoy the quest, but never overlook the importance of one music collection, otherwise none of us would be posting at all, would we?, it's the enjoyment of music which counts most. Not to be confused with merely listening to ones gear, which many do.

Here comes my totally unrelated photo of the day, so sue me already.
