My system is probably classed as mid-price being based around Arcam, Audiolab CD and a Rega p3 with separate phono stage.
I recently added some Dali Oberon speakers and took the opportunity to upgrade my speaker cable to the QED XT40.
Dali have always been a good match for my amp and they sounded great in-store.
That was three months ago and although my system sounded ok, it dawned on me I was spending less and less time listening to it.
I spent a few days tinkering with speaker positioning. I even tried using the old silver anniversary cable I had replaced.
No joy.
Today, just as an experiment I hooked up some 79 strand cable and sat down to listen.
My astonishment was only matched by the smile on my face. OK there was probably less detail but my system had started to sing.
What's going on ?
