Chord Odyssey 2 or Atlas Hyper 2.0 for my B&W 685?

[admin_exported]

Hi everyone,English is not my first language,I hope you guys can understand my post~

Here is my system below:

Apple lossless > Cambridge DACmagic PLUS > Wireworld Oasis 6 > NAD C375BEE > QED Silver Anniversary XT > B&W 685

My problem is the QED SA XT speaker cable sounded a little hard(bright?) and lean for me. What I need is balanced and dynamic sound,smooth/natural treble,warm/detailed middle,punchy/clear bass.(Excuse me for my poor adjective 😛)

So will Chord Odyssey 2 or Atlas Hyper 2.0 be my proper choice? Of course,any other suggestions are welcomed~

Thanks a lot~

dont worry!

i have had a post complaining about the forum being slow DELETED!!!!! this morning

 

[stevebrock]

if your finding it too bright then maybe the Atlas as the Odyssey is silver!

Slowest forum Ive ever been on.

I would try some VAn Damme Blue or OFC, that is only about £2 a metre if no good sell it on for very little loss. Certainly several people find the VD better than more expensive cables.

Thank you,BigH~

I will consider it~

Yes try a copper cable and see if it tames it and the Van Damne is incredibly good value

I recently was given a pair of Atlas Equator 2.0 OFC speakercables, and they made my Monitor Audio RX8's highs softer compared to the Chord carnival silverscreen and the Epic's I have.

 

[stevebrock]

Btw carnival Silverscreen is a copper cable!

Mmmm,how disappointed,I searched the dealers local,they have no Van Damme cable to sell...

Are there any high cost performance copper cable recommended?

I see. The only one is in Hong Kong called Rumble, if you check the Van Damme website there is an email contact.

If you can get it readily you'll not go wrong with the Odyssey 2 or Carnival Silverscreen but both the QED Silver Anniversary XT and Revelation (again if available) should be considered 🙂
