In Reply to: RE: Xangsane XS-6008Ag - XS-950 - Grey Knight GK-6008Ag Power Cords posted by el34eh@yahoo.com on April 22, 2023 at 10:03:25
After all of 4 days listening to mine which came in..., for me this is revolutionary in more ways than one | as this is the very first time I've ever placed a silver plated copper power cord onto either of my integrated amps, yet to my surprise there's a sense of stillness | silence between and around notes | balance | cleanliness I've never heard in once again cords I've owned since coming away from all cabling recommended by Naim Audio ( usually ones built for them by Chord Company during the early 80s to late 90s ) starting with the likes of Straight Wire Maestro | Harmonic Technologies | Audience | Acoustic Zen | Crimson RM Music Link | Grover Huffman | WireWorld | Organic Cables | Siltech | Synergistic Research | Oyaide | NEARdost and finally here.
In truth, while I tend to rant on a monthly basis due to lots of folks biases towards cabling or electronic coming out of China, all I can once again say as someone whom is more open minded than most, is over the course of the last decade or so, I've read many of the eZines based in Poland, and have sense had to weigh the truth as I read and hear things, cultures like China | Japan | Poland | Germany have become extremely resourceful and out the box thinkers when it comes to technology, as each are in themselves technology driven countries when it comes to the matter of cabling | cars | cameras and so on, more often than not these same cultures tend to stray from said items built in North Africa, as I've seen it since the late 80s, in my own families preference towards German or Japanese built automobiles, I mean even the Korea based Kia automobiles offer one of the best warranties on cars I've ever seen, as my wife owned their Genesis model back in 2008, which handled like a dream.
I'd say to each of you, isn't it time we all started to realize many things are in fact being perfected by cultures other than are own!, in said case " it's long overdue that many test drive their minds ", lest get left behind in backwards | backwoods type of thinking, ask any of Americans true natives about said matters, it then becomes clear other cultures get it, and often looked down upon because of said biases | hatred, it's time to seriously check oneself and get the fuck over said mindset of my dick is bigger than yours, and wake up...-, it's no longer about cost | nor pride in so much as the realization shit has changed.
ABliss | Dan | Tomasz | KanedaK, all four of you've called it right on this brand, it's indeed an ear | mind opening experience if I've ever had one. Thanks to you all for having shared this with me ( us ) take care fellas.
Follow Ups:
EL34,
Thanks for all the updates on the Chin see cable market.
Am still living with the ODIN 2 silver IC/PCs.Both worked well with the Chi Valhalla 1&2 and Fidelium SC.I may have a slightly different sound,as
mine were sourced from someone assigned to do wiring configurations for Nordost.
Have enjoyed the 40th Ann and ordered a few more for my KEF subs (62/92.
I purchased single PCs:GK-9008/P-6008 Ag and have eyes on a pair of the XS-950.
Did you find that you had a preference between the different Xangsane/Grey Knight PCs ?
And the Xangsane sterling silver ICs ? I bought the new XS-9003AG IC,assuming that it might be an improved version.
Thanks for keeping an eye on this ever-changing cable library, coming out of Chinese
Thank you.
Good morning Elixir63,
Thanks for the kind words | it's nice to see that you're still around as it has been rather quiet around here of late. To have this brand bought to my attention by having another member " Dantheman " go on and on about their usb cable bettering the Odin 2 Silver was enough for me to give it try | what I heard right out of the box without breaking it in, was proof enough for me to pursue their IC's | PCs without a doubt in my mind knowing there's something there.., enough so to sell off all of the Odin 2 Silver | Odin Gold IC's | PCs | USB Cables.
I recall your having found an earlier limited edition 12AWG Odin 2 Silver PC, of which I later gathered both the 14AWG Odin 2 Silver | 17AWG Odin Gold PCs were nice sounding..., both the Greg Knight GK-6008Ag ( chosen due to black techflex appealed to me more than the Xangsane Brazilian Rain Forest Killer Frog Light Green ) | said XS-950 power cord was recommended by at least 7 guys of whom I've been exchanging email ideals with, and once again pursuing it as well has proven worthwhile, and as I'm well aware there are better sounding cabling brands out there, but at what cost to us averaged income consumers?, as not all of us are blessed to be able to throw $10.000 on a PC, or $45.000 on a pair of SCs, nor $6000 usb cables | $8000 IC's.
For whatever reason?, in my system I've come to prefer the extra sense of refinement | detailing of the SP-9003Ag over that of the SP-9001Ag IC's, but like with most of this cabling stuff, it could be my mood?, or ear dependence as they change from day to day | month to month..., either way?, I'm enjoying both.
So the reality of having discovered said Chinese designs is to my mind, was and is a Godsent blessing, if there ever was one!. And it goes without saying, but you're more than welcome.
Stay 4ever young | the quest seemingly continues, eh?.

Your preference to the 9003 over the 9001 , el34, is I believe , because the 9003 uses double runs for positive and negative silver conductors as apposed to just single runs of the 9001.
Very valid point Tangram,
Yet some felt since the 9001Ag offers square conductors, it should've sounded better versus the older technology of rounded conductors. All I can add is my SP-9001Ag IC's have remained in a cigar box with several other pairs of IC's, stored a drawer right before me at this very moment.
Said SP-9003Ag IC's just seem to offer a nicely balanced presentation which draws me into the music itself | with the added PCs, I'm smiling ear to ear knowing it cost me less than say a set of nice isolation footers to bring about such a dramatic change fidelity wise that is...
Round v square ? As I have already got a set of 9001 in use and 9003 inbound, once I have tried the 9003 as a spk wire perhaps when i solder to xlr connectors I will do single conductors and compare. Lots of variables indeed but good fun.
So here is the list of to do
9003 as a speaker wire comparing against argento flow.
9003 with single conductors to compare to existing 9001 xlr between preamp
9003 with both conductors soldered and compare again to 9001 xlr between preamp
9003 xlr from preamp to power amp replacing Odin gold IC.
Round Vs Square refers to others having mentioned the different shape of the actual conductors, of which I can't speak on, as I bought both IC's ready made.
I'm definitely one whom looks forward to your upcoming projects | as noted just minutes ago upon placing the Grey Knight GK-6008Ag power cord onto my little Heed Audio Obelisk Si lll, this is yet another level compared to the Odin 2 Silver or Odin Gold and lastly it's stablemate of sort in the Xangsane XS-950.
It's without a doubt staying put...
