Mattheus, I tried the Fasination ICs and Speaker cables. Was an interesting comparison. Be nice to be able to come up with the best traits of each and put them into one.. Holy Grail quest I suppose.
Kubala and Oritek
Hey all,
Have a couple of questions on IC's. My current system is SF Cremonia Auditors with Aural Symphonic cables and IC's, and a DCC PC, rega planet and manley stingray. My goal was to tone down the highs and bring out the mids.
I recently tried the Kubala fasinations IC & speaker cables. Was interesting the impact they had on the system.
The IC's made biggest change. It more or less acheived what I was looking for, but the downside is, the bass is slightly rolled off and the cables dont seem as open. But overall a richer sound which certianly elimenates any chance of listening fatigue. They certianly prevail in vocals, but not convinced with all other aspects.
What my questions are, has anyone here had an opportunity to A-B the Kubala's and the Oriteks X-2 and what your impressions were? Secondly, how much of an improvement in sound quality do you get by going up the line in the Kubalas. Was possibly considering or wanting to try the expression IC's.
One thing I noticed about the Kubalas was there was less background noise ... seemed to smooth out sound. I did a search and didn't see any comparisons with these two yet.
Thanks for help
