About a week ago I bought the new Dali Ikon 5 mk2. Before that I had Dali Lektor 1 (those where my first set of hi-fi speakers).
While I like the sound, and the big step up in bass (I know these are small floorstanders, but then again, the Lektor 1's are small, even for a bookshelf speaker), I don't feel nearly as captivated when listening to them, as when I listen to my Lektors. With them, I could just sit in my comfy chair, with my eyes closed and listen to a whole album (My Only Thrill, Melody Gardot) and be in audio nirvana (well, almost, because a little thought of wanting to have more bass, kept bugging me). Then I bought the B&W ASW610 subwoofer, but that didn't solve the problem and then I bought these speakers. Now to get to my point, and this is probably for the people that do believe in the benefits of expensive/quality cables
Which powercable will give me the most emotive/captivating/mesmerising sound; Van den Hul MainsServer Hybrid or the Clearer Audio Silver-line?
In the WHF review, they say this about the Van den Hul cable: "Vocals are pinpointed and prioritised over every other area of sound quality". They also say that it sounds natural.
In the WHF review, they say this about the Clearer Audio Silver-line: "Details abound, making vocals utterly convincing".
Please help me out, thanks
