Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
Bass in terms of quantity is more than all my other cables. It’s not a bassy cable, I think the word is unrestrained. I've had 1 bassy cables before. Loaned from a friend. Very thin solid core cables. Made my floorstanders at the time sounded lik...

@lak 👍👍👍 Bass suddenly comes to life at hr 12. It's crazy. From -70% bass to proper bass. Wonderful extension for mids and highs. Female vocals are wonderful and airy. The negatives, borderline bright, actually it's pretty bright, lots of treble...

@v-fi I’m very relieved to hear your comment about the bass. I’m not a basshead, far from it. But when I had the cables in, it sounded like someone took the bass knob and turned it down by 70%. I imagine this is the doing of both the Argentum and...

@mbolek eager to hear your experience. As for me I have clocked in 10 hours today. Keep in mind the burn-in is for both the Aperta and the Argentum. The Argentum (XLR) is +6 hrs of burn-in. Still waiting for improvements in some aspects but I can...

The cables are beautiful in person. From the pictures, it seems to have this typical dirty yellowish look. But in person it's more of a silver. Looks and feel premium.

@v-fi  The cables arrived a day early. Pleasant surprise. The system consists of my much beloved Martin Logan Summit-X, along with BMC Ultradac and BMC CS3 amp from Germany.  I've had 1 hour in, will have plenty more tonight but so far, I feel ...

Expecting to receive the Aperta (speaker cable) this Friday. My system will consist of said cable and the Argentum X (XLR). Will share my experience from its sound characteristics to its burn-in process.  
Audio envy - dang!
2 sets of Isoacoustics Gaia or 2 AE Ocean power cord.... Dang this is a tough one.

@stereo5 That was a satisfying story 😀  
Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update
Let's be perfectly honest. Most others don't have a $1 million dollar system but still have relationship issues with family.  
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
A bit surprise no one has mentioned the AGD Audion monoblocks. Owners and reviewers alike touted these amps as pretty much end-game. I haven't heard them so I have no opinion 😝

@V-fi Are you considering trying the speaker from them to see what kind of synergy can be had? I could also share my experience of both in the near future, but I’ll don’t have any kther comparable cables. Just some decent silver plated copper.  
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
@imjerrys I know reviewers and friends that have long term experience with the AHB2 say the AHB2 sucks all the soul out of music.  But others also really like them. I don't quite understand if this is a gear mismatch or what. But the AHB2 falls i...

BMC CS3 from Germany. 8,000 Euros. The catch is it must be paired with another BMC dac or source.  
Can anyone tell me when XLR connections were first used on stereo equipment. (what years)?
From what I've heard, Ralph from Atmasphere advocated for XLR connections many decades ago.
