@ghdprentice +1, I think it depends.
I have Shunyata power and Kimber speaker cables and interconnects.
I am very happy with where I am and don't expect to move towards 1 loom.
To loom or not to loom?
Ladies and Gentlemen.
I am asking for your experiences in running a complete loom of one brand of cable, experiences not opinions and conjecture please.
I have 2 systems with interconnects from DH Labs and Zavfino, Speaker cables from Zavfino and Wireworld. Power cables are a mishmosh of LessLoss (digital front end) Zavfino (tubes), SR Research SS monoblocks, all great quality cables.
Should I look at consolidating each system to a specific brand and model of cables or is this a fool's errand?
Again if you do not have specific experiences please refrain from posting gibberish and innuendo.

@audio_is_subjective64 My goal or vision didn't start with a cable loom as an end goal. I did experiment with cables starting with speaker cable. I had several brands and Kimber Kable Bifocal XL was a clear winner. After I realized speaker cables made a difference I tried several interconnects. I tried silver, copper and even a hybrid. Kimber won again. On power used Furman and tried Shunyata and noticed a difference in distribution then in power cables. I've heard Nordost and Transparent and believe there are several excellent options. I also believe the incremental investment for me to get to 'one manufacturer' is not worth the money. (And I can hear Homer Simpson saying "so far"). This summer I heard a Nordost "Loom" and the results were remarkable. I owned the preamp, DAC/Streamer and amp they were using and I was floored on the dynamics, detail and finesse of the music. |
