Adele - 21

[ellisdj]

Hi Steve

I borrowed both at once - I had posted on the forum several times before I got them on loan , I dont know if that makes any difference.

I had the Cusat 50's first and then the spatia after - but both at home at the same time. I am waiting to borrow some spatia again - to test them as digital cables against way came free with one piece of my Meridian Kit for a slightly different to normal use - wont bore you with it

I have already done the test for music - I had the Meridian blue cable in all of five minutes music streamer to processor - put the Cusat in and that was it - I was sold on them for digital cables as well.

However if we are in the cue - I will mention to Jon that you want to borrow and you can go above me.

I am assuming your name is Steve Brock?

Yes Steve Brock, how did you guess?

just had my log in through so will set it up later!

If what you say us true about how good these cables sound then maybe Adele on red book cd will sound great!

I was in the market for some Odyssey 2, but this Spatia is really intriguing me so gonna have a good listen to it to see if my Rega kit gels with it!

I demoed my rega brio, DAC and RS1 with Odyssey 2 & chameleon cables in the shop and I sounded lovely

i thought Odyssey was the perfect speaker cable for me, I have loved chord cables for years and had pretty much all chord.

i planned on getting all chord cadenza to link my pro to power but thought I would try the Cusat 50 just to make sure and it wowd me within about 2 minutes a couple of songs

i honestly didn't expect it to be better than the cadenza because of the price so I was very pleasantly surprised.

i took the cusat a to my cousin to try them on his system and the same thing happened - you will hopefully hear the same.

Can you please contact Jon @ Graham Slee about returning the cables you have on loan - they need them back please.

Can you please contact him via the GSP Forum to arrange return

Hi Steve

Jon has messaged me again on the GSP Forum asking me to post on here again that he still has not received the cables back from you.

Can you let me know whats going on so I can tell Jon??

They send kit to people for home demo out of the goodness and if people abuse that system they will stop and that makes things worse for everyone for the future. Apparently you promised to return them 2 weeks ago!

Thats how good those cables are - I told you ! Now can you please get back to me so I can tell Jon what you say

Thanks very much

Hi Steve

Ok, my first post state that the only album with good SQ was "Live At Albert Hall" and i'll keep my state!

Today arrived one order from ebay i've bought "Songbird" from Eva Cassidy, a 180g vinyl Audiophille pressed for 32£, it shines in my system! And from the same seller ( to leverage shipping cost) i've won the auction on Adele 21, vinyl for £8.60.

My dear god! Adele 21 vinyl press is completely FLAT, with no real dynamics, it seem that i'm listening to a 128kbs MP3 file!

I've compared to the Flac file that i've bought on line on my SBT and the vinyl record, with the volume knob at 10 oclock.

The digital format has more bass response, but is to "shouty", yes it IS!

The vinyl record can be hardly heard at 10 oclock, compared to the digital format, but i can live with that, but the one thing i can't live is the poor remastering work on bouth albums!

19 is a better remastered album that 21...

So, i'm sticking with my first statement about Live At Albert Hall album being the best of all Adele Albums!

All the best.

I have cone to the conclusion too that it's a very poorly mastered album it's not played very much in this house!

Hi, I bought a copy of 21 on vinyl yesterday 30/05/15, it sounds really bad, the vinyl record its self is also warped! So it will be going back and I will be demanding a full refund!

I also purchased a copy of 19 on vinyl at the same time, this also sounds really bad, the vinyl record is also warped! So again, it will be going back for a refund!

I have purchased better quality vinyl from a Car-Boot Sale....
