Hello Kt 88. My system is totally different now. Love what I'm hearing. Still running the Planet and a Heybrook TT2 table, a DIY passive pre and a pair of VAC PA160 mkII's, through Mirage MRM-1 Reference Monitors. Still running Truthlinks, switched to a pair of Transparent Super Bicable XL's. I'm now listening in a nearfield position and it's soundstage city. From your user name, I'm guessing you prefer the sound of kt-88's. I'm in the same boat. My VAC's can run several different output valves, but the kt-88's are my favorites so far. I've tried el-34's, 6550's and kt-90's. None of them did it for me. Later this year I might try some 6L6's. They are inexpensive, as they are typically used in musical instrument amps. I'm running Golden Dragon kt-88's, but want to try the JJ Tesla kt-88's. All in good time.
speaker cables with a warm sound
I was hoping to get some suggestions on speaker cables that have a dark, warm presentation. I am running a pair of NHT VT-1.2's. They are fairly revealing in my system and are punishingly bright with brightly recorded software. My ears are VERY sensitive to high frequencies and can quickly become fatigued with bright material. I have changed out my interconnects to Harmonic Technology Truthlinks because of their warmer sonics. That helped a lot. I think the addition of dark, warm speaker cables will get me where I want to be. Right now I am biwiring with a shotgun array of Music Metre Signature (4 single runs per speaker). The associated amp is a Sonic Frontiers SFS-40 (6922/KT-90), but I have a pair of SFM-160 monoblocks (6922/6550) on the way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
