Well, apparently this weekend we are going to have some demo cables of TQ Ultra Black and Graphite, thanks Rob for that

That indeed will be very interesting.
Nb. Try to get the Blue and Black power cords as well...........The Blue won HFW Best Power Cable this year, and they said this, which could help your (and Rob's) situation - "It had a focused punchy bass, offered a better balanced presentation for the vinyl front end, injecting more air into the upper frequencies, while draining some of the claustrophobic bass".

great advice, I think it would make sense to try the all set together.
In the meantime just git an email...somebody might drop some black ravioli this coming week to our shop in Antwerp, looking forward

Agreed

That just leaves Cardas and Atlas......the winner out of all that lot, will certainly be deserving.....and I wonder if you and Rob will end up with the same stuff.
I am more and more certain it will end up like that and we will get the same kit .
I am actually thinking, if I like so much a specific brand, that might be worth to go for the best achievable which might be the 770l if I chose Siltech and the asimi if I can get a good deal on the atlas. In this way I am set for life

I preferred the Mavros to the Asimi, and didn't think much of it until Woollyjoe posted this; http://www.whathifi.com/forum/hi-fi/calling-all-plinius-users
By all means try the Asimi, but make sure you listen to the Mavros.
Haha
younsay that now but after a year I know you a little better than that an this have nothing to do with the money you will invest or not in the best achievable, but you are just to curious to say it would provably be for life... :twisted:

Now, what did you think of the Linn ADS?

Hey Alex,
I didn't listen to the Asimi cables but at more than three times the price of an already very expensive cable they would want to be better, much better!
You could have got a klimax for the price difference!! Hmmmm, maybe you could sell your ADS to Rob & trade up? :?
Also I don't think that Atlas make an Asimi IC in RCA (I could be wrong?) so you may not be able to have a complete set.
For that sort of money you could be stepping up into the Nordost Valhallas?
I've been trying to follow you guys & your cable adventures, but all the models flying around have got a bit lost. Are any of the other brands you haave tried a silver cable? Or have they all been copper so far?
If you do decide to go for the Atlas let me know. I get wholesale pricing over here from a company I deal with through work. Might be able to at least give you an inication of how hard you can haggle.

Until Alex replies, I'll tell you what I know.
- Asimi comes as both RCA and Balanced
- Cables tried:
AH.................Copper
Siltech..........Silver/Gold
Vertere.........Unique construction, where some of the twisted strands are silver coated.
- Cables still to try:
TQ...................................Guarded secret
Atlas Mavros..................Copper
Cardas Clear Light........Copper

Well, we have been trying the Ah cables which is pure silver, the Lavardin cables, then the Siltech cables (silver and gold, our reference so far), the Vertere cables. We will be trying this weekend the Telurium Q UltraBlack and Graphite...waiting until the Atlas Mavros show up...
Thanks for the offer, I will contact you for sure in case we decide to take the Atlas....
Now listening to the system and missing very much the 330L...the 220L are great but I feel more edge especially in the voice which is a bit hissing sometimes and more fatiguing to listen...
acalex said:
Pure Silver Cables can sound bass light unless they are quite thick......which leaves them very (very) expensive (like the Asimi).
When I heard the Asimi, it was like the music was smacking me across the face, which was OK for a short time, but waring after a while. As Neuphonix said, it would be better putting the money towards a Klimax and/or a better amp....but don't let me put you off listening to it though.
CnoEvil said:
Actually I haven't fully realised the price of the Asimi cables :wall:
Not indeed that would be useless...at least in my system.
CnoEvil said:
Indeed, just a typo I cannot edit anymore. Ah cables are definitely copper cables not silver....

With anything involving Granite, you are better either getting Granite Worktop Savers for £10 at your supermarket, or finding a kitchen / fireplace company,and negotiate for an off-cut.

Now, what did you think of the Linn ADS?
Hum... Like I sais I'm getting there, not completly convinced yet... Try streaming is convinient... an the ADS is defenetly a great performer
I admid I still have more psygological issue not having a decent cdp
n here the min piont of the ads is the absence of an exportable dac this would defenitly help me to make the step.
An last but not least I really need to hear a decent streamer in my system see what happens, but shure Alex will help me on that one ;-)
Because I'm praticly shure he is impatiant to get me to the dark side :rofl:
No maybe time for a personal hit parade
So for now.....yes yes...on 1...Siltech 330L
2 but far behind 220L an for the price difference 330L is a better deal (but that's personal)
3 being completly different in sound an presentation, but bieng realy close in terms of musical enjoyment AH an actualy at the brice the are defenedly the secound choice
4 Vertere Plse X Alex an my self came to the same conclusion quite quickly "Not for us"
Now still to try
this weekend TQ ultra black & graphite +i/c an I will give the guy a call maybe he can ad tha P/C
I' actualy really curious an a bit exited
Personaly except Atlas
I want to try the AQ Gibraltar ( as my demo of the acendent Where on AQ an like you know it made me dicide to buy theme)
Mit as I heard a lot about theme
Those 2 last ones are avalble at the dealer where I bought the speakers so I could get my hand on theme but I actualy prefer try to contact the distributor directly see if I can get theme. Other wise I will ask the shop
An Kimber select (Francis have a paire apparently so should be no prob)
But like I said 330L !s the reference for now an all the rest have to be truly exceptional to outplay theme...
I want to try but I'm actualy a bit scared to try the 550L & 770L because risque is I don't want to diconnect theme any more an than what ??????
Voila....

I have no problem with that
.do you want me to take it this weekend already
?. Don't complain then if you like too much and you keep spending money because of me you should probably also try to call the guy in the Netherlands for the atlas cable...as I see speaking the language is a huge help to get things more easily and in a smoother way
Roby said:
oke: Cardas Clear Light / Clear from the Vertere dealer.....goes very well with AMS 35i :shifty:
Yes well I have to say The guy from TQ was great
easy an good impresion I'm actualy looking forward to talk to him Saturday
