Hi everybody.
I came to this forum by accident. Lucky me.
I have been collecting music since 44 years ago, listening every detail specially on my favorite records.
I have a turntable, cassette deck, tuner, cd player, streaming player, DVD, VHS, you name it. And more than 3500 lps, 1000 cds, etc.
Looking for bi-wire links to my JM Labs Electra 926, I found this forum.
No more than 30 days ago I received my brand new (expensive) speakers wire... and use the same Sewell bananas SiUK used (look at the pictures). Let them "burned in" for more than 10 days.. and was disappointed with the results. Loose bass, agressive treble. I came back to my old cheap cables, without the bananas, recapturing some of the lost sound. Then I begun to try biwiring with the old and new cables. Bi-wiring made things clearer, open, but still the agressive treble concerned me. So I used again the new cable BUT connect it to the hi terminals and the metal jumper to connect the lo section.
Things were better, by good margin, until I read -by accident, I repeat- this forum.
I was hearing music, stand up from my chair, set the volumen of my T+A amp to minimum, and make the "Nordost" wiring. No more than 5 minutes after that, I played the same record I was listening.
SiUK: K-Boom!!!!!!!! I found what I was looking for: right away I heard the focus, clean bass and clear but no agressive treble I was expecting of my +20.000$ rig!!!!!!! Why? Bias???? SiUK: +40 years listening to music are experienced ears, no more but no less.
This is my grain of salt: always trust your ears. I´m a MD, and in medicine as in life, not all the scientific facts explain the whole truth. Sorry folks who made nasty comments, try it at home... and we´ll speak. It worked for me, my wife and sons heard the same thing. But I never told them what were the changes or if I had made anything at all, I simply called them to hear music and ALL asked: "what did you bought now? It sounds terrific"
Case closed. Thanks again SiUk!!!!!
