Got my Interconnects

[admin_exported]

eventually got my Silver High Breed Coherence LE interconnects (had a glitch with my new paypal account so eventually sent a postal order)

Huge difference in sound quality and soundstage (was using the standard interconnect supplied with the Marantz cd player) .... and I am led to believe they will sound even better after a few hrs of use ....

so to those who say cables are only 0's and 1's and make no difference, ... I disagree

very nice guy who sells the Silver High Breed stuff ... he gave an extra set of Silver High Breed synergy 2 interconnects as a freebie so am well chuffed! ... May even buy some of his speaker cable

So I take it from your.. "0's and 1's" comment that this is a digital coax or optical connector and not a 'traditional' analogue RCA phono interconnect pair that you are talking about?

What external DAC are you using?

chebby ... not on digital .... was referring to several posts that say cables make no difference at all

Ok I see. So these are analogue cables passing analogue signals not 0's and 1's.

Sorry. Got it now.

Well (rolling eyes or not) if you are saying that your new cable's performance counters the arguments of.. "those who say cables are only 0's and 1's and make no difference", then it helps to understand that your cables are actually analogue signal cables and NOT digital cables that pass only 0's and 1's.

Therefore any ensuing discussion about the merits of your cables will be about their merits as standard analogue cables and not digital cables like digital coax or optical. (That is a whole other discussion.)

ok if you say so

dim_span:ok if you say so

So does that mean you think your RCA phono interconnects are passing 1's and 0's from the CD63 to the amp?

I have a couple of SHB Coherence LE and have substituted a Chord Chameleon Silver Plus for one. Very detailed, etched sound with a nice tight bass. Good stuff for everything except bright or overly lean systems.

With respect, I was not the one who stated that a new set of analogue RCA cables would answer all those critics who thought cables were only about 0's and 1's.

I also managed to refrain from the sort of insult you have just employed, and merely sought clarification of your point as to whether it was error or confusion.

The best analogue cables in the world will not settle any discussions about digital cables.

I wouldn't try to get clever mate (or be insulting), the "it's only 0s and 1s" ONLY applies to digital cables. You aren't using a digital cable, therefore the idea that your test somehow disputes the "0s and 1s" point of view is nonsense.

Before you try to put other people down, make sure you know what you're talking about.

Seriously. First try to figure out what you are trying to say. Second personal insults are not welcome here - this is a friendly and cordial place. I am surprised AE hasn't been here already.

yes ... made a pratt of myself and explained ... and then you continued ...

so was merely asking you if you are bored, as I see you have posted in excess of 3700 posts

so, also merely suggested that Family Home and Garden forum on ebay may be of interest to you

You could be opening a can of worms with that one...

I'm guessing that some members might describe my system as bright or even lean, but my ears tell me that the Coherence LE completely kicks the Silver Plus into touch (well, actually into e-bay as it turned out) and especially in the bass department where things have become what I would describe as more defined with low-end poke.

Hey! ... I have a good sense of humour ... can take it on the chin and sometimes enjoy winding people up ... (post on the e-bay forums where it can be pretty rough sometimes!) my responses were done in jest and not meant to offend (just wind up a little bit!)

but on a more serious note, have read things like 'bright' and 'warm' ... can someone elaborate?

cables make a massive difference. if the 110% cynical (to upgrading) girlfriend noticed when I upgraded to to Chord Runour 2 then that proves any argument in favour. The improvement in spkr cable was a bigger 'jump' than the Chameleon IC imho, although that might have been something to do with the spkr cable being replaced first and the diminishing returns theory!!..flippin eck I sound like a nerd!!

Well a word of advice then, this is a moderated forum, a bit of wit and intelligent banter is fine but if it looks like an insult and is taken like an insult it'll probably get treated like an insult and be moderated. I suggest you read the House Rules for yourself because we're not allowed to discuss moderation.

but on a more serious note, have read things like 'bright' and 'warm' ... can someone elaborate?

"Bright" having an emphasis on the top end, ie the treble. "Warm" the opposite, more bass and lower midrange, typically.
