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.

Many cables - signal & power - have been auditioned in my system over the years. I wasn’t convinced that a full loom was better.

That was then. Now, I’ve transitioned to a full loom of signal cabling by Synergistic Research - Atmosphere Series - upper tiers. Their approach is fairly unique. My system sounds the best it ever has.

To loom or not to loom?

An audio system needs to be fairly well tuned-up to appreciate the benefits of the upper tiers by any manufacturer.

Still, I can see holding on to any cables from another brand if they’re contributing to the quality of music.

I’m slowly transitioning to SR’s pc’s. The biggest impact has been with SR’s digital pc’s. They’re on to something. Since I stream 100%, this is a welcome addition.

My other PC’s are Transparent, Purist and Snake River Audio. They’re solid performers. No rush to replace them.

I’ve tried a LessLoss C-Marc pc and a LessLoss AES digital. Too sterile for me. YMMV
