Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline?

A pair of Franck Tschang's tuned interconnects (see Six Moons reviews) are still breaking in, in my system, but they have already "stomped" my Harmonic Technology Magic 2, HT Pro-Silway III+, and Van den Hul Orchid. While I don't have any at present, from memory I'd also say that they handily vanquish the Nordost Valhalla and Kubala-Sosna Emotion interconnects in my system. They are not HiFi spectacular, but are the most musical and least electronic sounding cables I've ever heard. Interestingly, several recording that have always sounded compressed and confused in spots, which I just attributed to the recording, are rendered cleanly for the first time with these cables and no other system changes.

can someone explain why there is such an emphasis upon resolution as a criterion in cable selection ?

i have attended many live music events and when i hear most stereo systems, thay sound more focused or "sharper" than live music.

of course, it could be a search for stimulation. often, the presentation of a stereo system which is highly resolving creates a feeling of excitement, which may be a desirable thing for some listeners.
