What interconnects with SACD 1000 ?


Out of curiosity, what interconnects are you folks using with your SACD 1000 ? I know that this is both system dependent and a matter of personal preference, but i'm kind of curious. I was running the cables that i had hooked up to my previous DVD / CD player but was missing top end "air" and "spaciousness". Switched over to some Magnan IV's tonight. Not too much time listening to them, but the sound is now very natural sounding but a little lean and lacking "drive" for harder music. Bass is MUCH sharper and cleaner sounding with far better definition, but lacking in "weight". Kind of a role reversal as the 1000 initially struck me as being a little heavy at the very bottom. Those of you into acoustic music / vocals may find this combo very, very nice. From the lower mids on up, the presentation is very natural, to the point of being "seamless". If i could just get a bit more warmth out of this combo, i'd be riding down main street. I'm going to pull the IV's and put them onto my burner ( never burned these as i just picked them up a while ago ) and see what happens. Burning cables tends to fill in the warmth region a bit, so this may be just what i need. In the meantime, i'll try throwing in a set of my Magnan II's or III's and see where that takes me. These all have somewhat similar sonics ( air dielectric with 36 gauge wire ) with different levels of air and slight shifts in tonal balance.

In the meantime, how about sharing what you folks have come up with ? Anybody done any comparisons to see what's worked best for them ? Sean

So a person is not allowed to change their opinion on gear? I should be shot, too, then. During the course of an evaluation my opinion can sway greatly from the first moment I hear it play until a few weeks later once it (or my ears) have settled down, as the newness wears off and the traits are more easily identifiable. I run through a lot of gear and may find something very shortly after that initial impression which eats it alive and that will shift my perspective, too....but only if I am 'allowed' to change my opinion, I suppose. I also stick to my guns with appraisals, for afterall it is strictly related to my system and my ears.

I think Jeffrt and myself just see this as a witch hunt from owners of the piece that have taken childish personal offense. Happens all the time, drives a lot of folks off of the BBs. Further, while we're venting, the attacks against a persons spelling and grammar just make the attackers look like @sses to me. Not everyone here is a American flag waving, WASP, high-brow yuppie prick with years of prep schools rhetoric training under their belt, or simply even have english as their native language for that matter! Get over yourselves.
