Question for all Esoteric owners with clocks .....

.....I have asked this before but never received a response that answered my question, so, I will try it again. Does, upgrading the BNC cables to the Esoteric clocks have an improvement on the overall sound. Now, the stock cords are just that, the stock cords ....but would a $500 BNC cable improve the sound ......so, if yes, then would going to a $1,000 BNC cable be even better ???? You see what I am trying to ask......if there is an improvement over the stock great, but how far should you go on these cords to the clocks ???? Thank you in advance

Graebear, It absolutely matters what cords you use. I have the G-01 clock, which I had mated with the D-02/P-02. I had Snake River Mamushi digital cables, which I perferred over the WireWorld Platinum Series 7 BNCs. I now have Valhalla BNCs, which better both by a lot.
You know cables always matter and change and shape everything we listen too. But you have to try them to know which ones work best for you. The Valhalla's are excellent cables and can be had for a good deal NIB as the series II cables are all the rage now.
I have found Esoterics are very sensitive to everything, clocks or no clock, footers or not, dampening, PCs, ICs, and BNCs, etc.

Hey Graebear, I am not familiar with your cables, but I have found all the clock cables I have used, the better the conductor purity the better I like them. The Valhalla's are 7n occ with silver, and for $800.00 NIB for 1 meter they are a steal. Right now I have Salon IIs, which have a Beryllium tweeter and it sounds much smoother on my ears with the Valhalla's. The deliniation of sounds and music is stunning with these cables. I spent silly money on the clock, which is an amazing upgrade to my system, the realism with the clock and good cables has been well worth the investment for me. I believe the clock cables make a big difference.
