... I thought I'd start a little cable thread
.
We havent had one for at least a week.
So, being a bit bored but not having the finances for major changes (I really, really, r ... want a pair of Harbeths, even the tiniest ones) I ordered a Hifime ESS Sabre 9018 DAC for my CCA, a QED Graphite Optical/Toslink cable, a nicer looking 3.5mm jack to RCA cable with foamed polyethelene surrounding superior copper conductors and a nearly new set of QED Genesis Revelation Signature Speaker cables.
This is about the speaker cable; Admit, I was taken with the grand name shallow as I am and the fact that I got them much cheaper including lovely Airtight QED termination at one end and quality Zplugs at the other which fit my cute little cyrus. It also goes well with my silver power cables. Its all about matching, even if only the colour
Having swapped my NACA cable out the QED 'sounds' (well, it doesnt but if I dont correct myself someone will no doubt point it out) warm, snappy and open. Pretty much what I've expected considering I know my system very well. Differences? Not sure, perhaps a little more dynamic and cleaner highs but the most important thing is that it is cute and I like the finish.
I'm not going into lengthy comparisons as I have no intention of swapping wires back and forth but I can live with them for a while with no sweat.
Now awaiting the DAC ...
