So YOU can't hear a difference in cables


I do.

I have a set of Van Den Hul the Seconds They get rid of the digtal glare and edge. They are non fatiguing to listen to.
They sound full and lush but give up some detail and soundstage. I can listen to them indefinitely.

My Au24's are more holographic, have better soundstage, detail in spades, but there is that digital edge and glare.

My silver interconnects sound good but tizzy on the top end. They are out.

Day in and day out give me the Van Den Hul the Seconds, no fatigue, but oh I want the detail and soundstage of the AU24's.

If you suffer from that digital glare or edge get the vandys.

I find that the louder the music the more that the cables matter. I find that cables "tune the sound".

Anyone have a suggestion for an interconnect that fits my bill at a reasonable price?

Wellfed, I think you think he thinks you are indifferent to what you think he thinks he hears a difference. = P

BTW, are we thinking in terms of digital cables here? You might want to look into better powercords for your digital equipment if that is the case. The results might be you're only thinking you're hearing glare but you're not.
The Poeima! sounds like a stuck up kangaroo? Definitely bring that over, Dean. I'd like to play with her...

The above suggestion of Lat International probably comes close to Marilyn Monroe. I find it's characteristic to be fluffy/airy with a marshmellowy mid. Too mellowy for my ears as it kind of robs some details in the highs.

I personally owned many great Stereophile rated CD players including the CAL trans/dac, a B rated unit, and the NAD 502, a C rated unit. Both sounds better than the Sony 333 though.

And what is that Monster filter crap. Take the damn thing out. I am so sick of Monster...

BTW, I think my OTAs sounds as clean as Milla Jovovich's body.
Actually, Dean, the Furutech doesn't have any effects on mechanical vibration. It does passively filter our emi/rfi though. I have the Eichmann feeding the Furutech, and it's the Eichmann that takes care of the mechanical vibrations.
