The valves do have some remoteness. The immediacy and presence The highs are a bit sweeter The lows are incredibly lush and defined The midrange has lost most of its focus Hateful tizzyness in the top end. ... wire sounds "sweeter" but perhaps "sloppier" than... There was an absence of a sweet midrange colouration Transients increased at the expense of midrange texture and air. Lovely, spacious, coherent music. ..give you a much larger sonic picture, but less focus and low-level subtlety. The deep fundamentals leave you gasping for breath. Telefunkens are very rolled off in the highs. Lots of air around instruments Amazing sonic character ..will impart a "warm" sound to the system A lack of "atmosphere" and "quietness" Great tube harmonic depth and slam. Quick, smooth, dynamic, musical, not fatiguing on highs and crescendos ... tends to thicken up instruments and voices quite a bit ... got enough solid state zing and lots of palpability, presence, air .. ... gave a nice sense of space around the individual instruments ... to get more atmosphere and "quietness" around instruments A little less musical down low and up high. An occasional honk on a horn during arias Russian tubes are pretty neutral. A bit of sibilance in them ...wire of exceptional musicality. The lack of multiple crystals should prevent inter-crystal diode effects. The former sounds better in the midrange, the latter sounds "muffled" overall The ear is oblivious to phase shifts above 20K. Valves and transistors possessing different sonic signatures.... Smoother more natural sound More realistic harmonics ... with the hand-wound capacitors imparting an unbelievable smoothness Like a monkey hitting a dustbin lid with a dog's bone.. Devoid of the hardness which afflicts most transistorised amps Uneven tonal balance Bass is slightly loose and emphasised Bright and pure treble Upper registers were cleaner and less fizzy ... imparting a new plumminess to the sound Bass was faster and meatier ..gaining in speed and impact Image precision and soundstaging of the warehouse variety Tizzyness in the top end These cables have a pinched sound that goes away over time The whole experience can become quite hollographic The ears need time to adjust to any system or setup A whiteness during intertransient silences . -- haunyack Transporter -> Box-O - (audiophile grade) Wires -> Vandersteen 3A Signature ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haunyack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9721 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42094 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
