A follow up...
Had the Audience Au 24 sp cable in my system...changed to the Paul Speltz Anti-Cable.I use a single run of the Speltz cable with the Merlin jumpers.
I prefer the Anti-Cable in my system...Slightly more sparkle to the trebles.Mids cleaner ,more open and slightly leaner sounding,but with out losing focus.Bass punchier/more slam and better defined.Overall,a better balance to the sound.Tonally more correct ...to my ears, at least.
My results should be seen in the context of my system(Mark Levinson 37 and 36s,Pathos Logos and Merlin VSM-MM),my personal preference and speaker positioning,which is close to the backwall .Also the best results now with the Ei Elite 6DJ8 Goldpins in the Logos.The end result now, is very pleasing, to say the least .The Merlins are remarkable speakers....
