Okay I now have a much better feel on what's needed to obtain a better sense of top end extension | resolution from this cord | as mentioned by Tangram, and later Chris from Kam Audio, whom both apparently love pure silver | silver plated copper respectively, I spend time earlier in replacing the blades with a Viborg VM103S Silver Plated Copper AC Male | Monosaudio F101 Copper IEC Female.
And guess what?, while the rimshots and cymbal decay weren't as sharply pronounced as with its stock gold plated brass plugs, it did take on an added sense of purpose as well as charity and speed which were lacking from said gold plated plugs, in truth it's also more natural sounding as if everything was pulled together more clearly | as well as quiet in and around notes, tomorrow I'll have in a set of Xangsane rhodium plated copper AC | IEC plugs, of which I intend to only change out the AC Male and give it a go before knowing which direction I view as absolute?, afterwards I'll exchange the Viborg VM103 Rhodium Plated Copper IEC Female in tandem with Monosaudio 103 Copper AC Male, yet once again I'm growing more and more fond of this cord with each passing month, and once again believe as used primarily on my source component ( DAC ) I'd be crazy to look elsewhere, so I'm Callie it a lifetime and stop here, period ( Chinese junk and all ) be well guys | dolls.
No $500-$700 sets of plugs allowed on my watch | yet sets priced at or around $150 per aren't out of the question | even then reluctancy kicks in, big time.
