Analysis Plus Oval 9


Has anyone any experience with Analysis Plus Oval 9 ( or other copper based ) cables?

If so what is their sonic signature ?

Recently bought the Big Silver Oval 9 bi-wire. Running my Merrill Audio Veritas monos to Usher Mini Two Diamonds. Wonderful in my room/set-up.

The oxidation issue was a factor when considering my recent purchase of used/decade+ old cables. The outer jackets are actually clear, so that gave me some solice.

I must have lucked up, given others' posts

Oval 9’s are a little on the warm side.  Not bright or forward at all. Ran them for a while with Plinius amps and Totem speakers.  Very nice match and great bang for the buck, imo.

@mdrone - owned three pairs of the Oval 9 RCA interconnects. Kinda warm, weighty, sort of grainy.  Lacking some upper register detail, and lacking separation of instruments as it tends to blur things together more so than more refined interconnects. Not bad for the $, but moving up the line of AP cables to the Crystal OCC version, more open and transparent, more detail if that's what you prefer.
