Analysis Plus Interconnects

Ok, I got my Solo Crystal Oval 8 speaker cables on Friday and after a weekend of 24/7 break in I must say I am VERY impressed. I am sure things will only get better.

I am now considering replacing my Sonoran Desert Plateau ICs with the matching Oval 8 cables. The Sonorans are pretty darn good and replaced some Luminous Audio Synchestra Signatures in my system some time ago. What would I get with the AP interconnects? Who is using them in conjunction with their speaker cables and what do you think?

And as a side note, how long did it take for the Oval 8 speaker cables to break in?

Thanks,

Oz

Thanks for your input. How do you like the AP power cords? And what have you compared them to?

Rathbone,

After a little over 100 hours on the speaker cables I think they sound pretty good. I wouldn't describe them as you have though, they have plenty of excitement and extension both top and bottom. My only fear was of the midrange and it came around nicely.

I think I have come to the conclusion that they aren't the best match with my S&B TVC preamp. Although they sound good, I have had better results with an active preamp in the chain with the AP cables. So I have one on the way and will be selling my trannies and Seiden switch here on the 'Gon. But anyway, I digress. These are great speaker cables, especially when considering the price. At some point I may investigatate the ICs too.
