Slow Down, You Move too Fast


Hello Again,

It's been a while and nice to be creeping back in to the game!

My system has sat pretty still for a while and some recent changes have made it a bit lean and quick. The most recent culprit are MG Audio planus III speaker wire. Amazing detail and extension. And fast. A bit too fast for my system: I initially loved them, and still really appreciate their attributes, but these old dog's ears got tired.

So, I am looking to slow things down into a more of a comfy zone.
I am thinking of new speaker cable and perhaps a set of interconnects and could use some insights...

The speaker cables that look good to me are:
-Tara Labs, the One or Two +/-EX
-Purist Audio Venusta
-Kubala Sosna Emotion

The Interconnects are the same-ish. I try one instead of one of my Gabriel Gold Infusions:
-Tara Labs, the One or Two +/-EX
-Purist Audio Venusta
-Jade Audio Hybrid Gold

Is that too much for one thread?

Looking forward to batting it about.

Enjoy the tunes!

And, thanks.

Hi bud, I also have plinius amp (Hiato) and the speaker cables I settled with are Snake River Audio signatures Cottonmouth. I liked them the most, after trying MG audio III, Kubala Sosna emotions, Hidiamonds8, gabriel gold reflectinos, purist audio venustas and corvus latest versions, and some others. Based on what you are looking for, I think the Snake River may be a good fit and good senergy with plinius. The kibala sosna emotions and purist venustas may be a little warm and laid back with your plinius. For Ics try latest version of KCI silkworm +. terrific ICs for the money and great manufacturer to deal with.
Bud, yes plinius amps are great match with Dynaudio. I had SA 201, but SB301 is better. I regret not buying SA Ref when I had a chance, but Hiato sounds fine. I always come back to plinius.
You should consider upgrade, especially now Plinius has new US presence and customer service is great. I can recommend you a great dealer As for cables Gabriel reflection speaker and Ics cables sounded worse in my system. No balance, lack of bass and hifi ish. The MG has been better but a little bright and I did not like their look and lack of flexibility. I assure you that Snake river signatures have great bass - outstanding, try them you will not regret. I had Hybrid Mlt and dream petite, they are Ok cables but overpriced even with good discount and their bass is not on the level of Snake river. Their latest dreamV10 speaker cables are great so ,but again pricey. I had many cables to demo in my system and has been skeptical about Snake River until gave them a chance. They will not shock you from the first try, but somehow they draw you into music and eventually you realize that you love them.
