Any level Silent Source, is outstanding Silent Source. Yes, I would start w/ a power cord (PC) as well. Hope you get a second chance. These cables/cords do not appear on the used marketplace often- so do not miss your opportunity. Keep me posted & Happy listening! |
Vincent,
I,too like the SS brand of cables. I had a wonderful demo while on business in Dallas TX. This is my new reference for interconnects and speaker cables. My reference for power cords is still the Stage III Concepts offered by Aaudio Imports. Keep us posted on your buying decision(s). |
Thankful & Jazz-
I did listen to the signature version of SS. Not certain if the musical reference was on-hand or not. There were 2 speakers used for demo- TAD and Vandersteen Treo/Quattro.
The sound was full, rich, excellent timbre and fast. These 2 systems also used WireWorld Electra 7- very nice sounding as well. Since this demo was my 1st. I would have to re-visit and sort out further details. I like the fact that Silent Source are hand-built, not junk-sourced to China like so many others (secretly). Over the last 2 years, I have spent much time w/ Transparent Reference XL and OPUS systems. Excellent to outstanding is what you can expect at this performance level and cost. Associated gear was Audio Research Ref3 and Ref5 SE tube pre-amp(s) with ARC 150 and Bryston 3B/4B-ST power amps. As above, I endorse Stage III Concepts power cords (only). These are outstanding in every way. Offered by Aaudio Imports and not junk-sourced to China as well. Happy Listening All. |
Anyone else enjoying the Silent Source cables/cords? If so, please share your story. These are outstanding products IMO. Happy listening! |
So good to hear from you Thankful!
Tell me about the rest of your gear? Which genre(s) of music do you enjoy w/ your SS cables/cords?
Happy Listening! |
Great to gear from you, Vincent & Thankful-
The KS cables/cords are on my short-list to demo as well, having heard, at length, the Silent Source Signature IC w/ Musical Reference power cords (PC). It is so great to have these companies that make such superb offerings. As w/ most elite cables/cords like this, gear -dependency comes into play on some level.Keep me posted guys & happy Listening! -JA |
Well we are into 2015- hopefully some new fans will get on the bus for Silent Source cables/cords. Vincent & Thankful how are you guys doing? Are you guys still using SS cables/cords? If not, what cables/cords are you using in your systems? Keep me posted & happy listening! |
Nice! Chuck-
give the cables time to burn-in properly. Do you have the Signature or Musical Reference model? How did you come across Silent Source? These do not come up often in the used/demo market place. Keep me posted & Happy Listening! -JA |
Very nice! Chuck- I look forward to reading your review. what other gear is in your system?
Jmcgrogan2- send FD an email and I am sure he will entertain your query. Are you using SS cables or cords in you system as well? Keep me posted All- Happy Listening! |
Very nice -Calloway. What other gear is in your system? Are you planning to use the Silent Source IC(s) as well? Keep me posted & Happy Listening! |
Thanks! for sharing -Calloway. most of your gear, I am not familiar with, the HF cables/cords are on my short-list to demo someday. You will be able to sell your SS pc(s) very easily- this brand is slowly, but surely getting press. Happy Listening! -JA |
For you guys who enjoy SS signature cables/cords, you owe it to yourself to demo the Musical Reference offerings as Thankful has suggested. Either way these are remarkable products that make beautiful music. Happy Listening! |
