Analysis plus ova 9‘S vs. Kimber cable 8tc’s.
I hope this test is not going to send me down the proverbial rabbit hole. There are things I like about both sets of cables. The clarity of the Kimbers is outstanding, but I think the Oval 9’s are more organic and fuller sounding. So I was thinkin...

The new ones.

In my opinion they both bettered the bjc’s. They are a little different but both enjoyable.

They are really close. Both sound really good. I’ve been listening to the oval 9’s for the last 10 days or so and I’m going to change back to the Kimber’s tomorrow. I think Schubert May be right about the Kimbers clearer and cleaner sounding. I ju... 
What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000
I was on the same hunt about a year and a half ago. Did a little traveling and listened to maybe a dozen pairs of speakers. I ended up with the Aerial 7t’s and couldn’t be happier. 
AT ART9 cart going into a Pass XP17
I have an Art 9 and it likes 60 dB of gain and between 200 and 500 ohms.

How are you loading the cartridge?

Have you tried the phono stage on your C47? I’m using mine with a restored TD124 with an SME M2-9 tonearm and an AT Art9 . Sounds pretty good to my ears with a fair amount of adjustability. I also have the MC 452. Great combination.

This is going to be close. Both sound really good. Still getting some time on the oval 9’s.

I received the Analysis plus oval 9’s Wednesday and hooked them up yesterday. It’s way too early to tell anything yet. Just listened to the radio as background music for a little while. Should have some time this weekend for some more critical lis... 
Aerial 5T impressions
I listened to the 5t’s when I bought my 7t’s. They are the best sounding book shelf speaker I ever heard. The new Stereophile magazine has them as an A rated component. 
Best amp pairing with Aerial Acoustics Speakers?
I’m using a Mac MC 452 and C47 with my Aerial 7t’s and it sounds really good to me. Before I was using a Vincent SV-237 integrated and that was okay but the Mac is way better.

I found a pretty good deal on some oval 9’s and ordered them. It will be interesting to compare the two.

Just a little follow up. The music sounds more natural and fleshier, more meat on the bone compared to the bjc cables which are thinner sounding. This was one of my best upgrades.
