I love them. They were, however, beaten by the (far more expensive) Cardas Golden Cross in my system. I prefer the AP Oval 9 copper over the AP 12 gauge silver hybrid in the systems I've tried them with. Oval 9 is very natural, rich, with deep bass. Treble detail and extension nd speed are natural as opposed to extreme as in some cables or gear. I feel that the Cardas Golden Cross was more refined. Also in a head to head comparison with Harmonic Tech Pro9, I personally found the AP a bit more natural sounding. The HT had a little more speed and treble detail but to my ear was just a hair less natural. I could be happy with either of these though.,
Analysis Plus Spker Cable Excellent Cable or Hype?
Analysis Plus speaker cable has gotten great reviews. But, is this cable as good as it claims?? I have read a few reviews that claim it is not very musical. There also seems to be a lot of pairs up for resale. I need to find the best speaker cable to work with a pair of Thiel 2.3's, an Aragon 4004Mk2 amp and Conrad Johnson PV-8 tube pre-amp. Need good advise and input!! Thanks SJ
