Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs

I would tend to agree with Foster_9 and his fellow Agoner. When I think back to all of the cords I've been through, the ones that have the most extended, detailed high's tend to lack 'musical weight' in the bass. I say musical weight, because I have heard some of these cords go plenty deep, but their bass tends to be very tight (not necessaily a bad thing), so they don't sound as full, or have the 'apparent' bass punch of some other cords. The cords that I've heard that have full, robust bass, tend not to have the speed or resolution to make the high's airy and extended.

I think the best thing to try to do is to balance the cords through the system, not use all of one type. Play around a little using 'full-bodied' cords in combination with 'resolving' cords to balance the sound to your tastes.

FWIW, I've also noticed that a cord's soundstage is give and take too. Cords that have a deeper, 3-D stage tend to lack the width and height of more forward cords. Cords that are too forward offer a large 2-D soundstage. I prefer a 3-D stage, I don't care for the 'front row' perspective, but I have heard too deep, where the band seems to be playing out in my driveway. Again, IMHO the key is balance. Experimenting with various cords until the stage size, like bass weight and high's, are balanced to the taste of the system owner.

Looking for one magical cord that can do all things on all gear is chasing the impossible dream, IMHO.

Dave_b, are you a MIT/Transparent dealer? You seem to really be pushing those cords/cables. It's one thing to have an opinion, it's another to keep hammering away at others if they don't share your opinion. Though I do know salesmen that work like that.
If you're not a salesman, please give it a rest. We get it, you like MIT/Transparent, now let's move on.

Funny, I just read your "foaming at the mouth", or was it drooling, over the DCCA Master PC....it appears we all have our favorites and our biases. MIT rules..Hee Hee Hee:)

Funny yes, every review you have posted is "foaming at the mouth", or is it drooling? So what's it all mean??? At least I'm not pimping the DCCA the way you pimp the MIT/Transparent.

I believe I have tried them all...and with alot of different gear, but there may be a mismatch out there somewhere:)

Dave:

Curious if you've tried the top PC offerings from Stealth, Dream State, and/or LessLoss? Have you tried the ICs from Jade Audio?

No not a one! I've been happy with the Wegrzyn and Transparent MM PC's and I love my MIT Oracle V2.2 stuff.

'nuff said. I think Bill sums up your posts best:

>>Nothing else brings out the music in the best systems.<<

Sorry, that's disingenuous. Perhaps it works in your case but there is no single cable manufacturer whose products are the best for all systems.

Move on back one square.

Afterwards....

Bottom line is that you need to enjoy whatever music it is that you listen to...I was way out of line!

I take it back...don't hate me!

That's much better Dave, now you're starting to 'get it'. Hehehe.
