GOOD THINGS Happen, when you don't expect it...

Let me share my weird experience, 3 weeks ago, I Realise I have not played my Norh 9.0 for almost 2 years, this are Biwire, I decided to just connected my anticables 8ft $60 on the bass, then I connect the clear day shotgun 6ft, on the right speakers (high) then I connected homemade speakers cables 8ft on the left (high) my only porpuse is so they don’t get rusty, amp is plinius sa100, SACD player marantz 8005, ic lectraline , pc virtual dynamic x2, audience powerchord, preamp audio research, this is my 2nd system.After 3 days, I notice the music coming out from this speakers, I was being blown away, it sounds naturally close to live...I was shocked, this is not suppose to work, one of my friend can’t believe it either...what you guys think?is it luck?

I decided there must really be something that I don't know regarding using different cables, ok this morning, I replaced one of the power cord of my musical fidelity monoblock amp, fromMIT to Pangea, Result, more dynamics , more balance, Icant believe it, but it works, on Friday I will use different speaker cables on the left side of the Andra.see what happen..,,

Onother blessings happen again, I connected my norh monoblock ,for 12 years , no music was played on them , I decided to connect them using MIT interconnect for maybe $60 1.5 m. , using Technics SB 700 speakers ,to my surprise this speakers, did sound live and it feels you are in the event, even with your eyes are open, the norh monoblock did match well than my favorite SA100 plinius amp....on this system Iam using...njoe tube marantz CD player, luminous audio ic, speaker cable clear day regular, Ps audio conditioner, power cables Z cord MIT , DCCA power cables....Iam glad I like to keep old gears.See What happen?

jayctoy, you will find a lot of discovery and joy by actually trying things, as opposed to the audiophile who lets preconceptions block such activity. That is why I have said for years that the greatest impediment to building an audiophile system is the audiophile!

I had to smile when I read your comment, "I decided there must really be something that I don't know regarding using different cables, ok this morning, I replaced one of the power cord of my musical fidelity monoblock amp, fromMIT to Pangea, Result, more dynamics , more balance, Icant believe it, but it works, on Friday I will use different speaker cables on the left side of the Andra.see what happen..,," and I thought, "Well, of course!"

It seems you have been a cable skeptic, or at least a power cord skeptic for a while now. So, how does it feel to discover that all the time power cords confer a very noticeable difference, and you were missing out on it by refusing to try? Some guys get upset that they have been resistant for decades, only to find out later in the game that cables made such a difference. They have to accept the fact that for no other reason than their stubbornness they have heard closer to mediocre sound versus what they can get when they work with cables. Thankfully, I conducted comparisons about three decades ago and have had a lot of experience with real world changes to sound with cables.

If you really want to hear what cables can do, work with sets of them. If you are impressed by what one power cord can do, and I understand perfectly your description of it, then consider how much change can happen when sets are compared!

Congratulations on actually trying it. Now you will have the ability to get much more out of your audio system. Now you are on your way to building a better audiophile rig.  :)

Discovery is a wonderful thing!

Doug I have been a believer with cables, I know expensive cables make big difference only if they match, Actually I was told that rotating your cables to experiment. The cables I tried I just put them aside for a long time,because I upgrade to more expensive one, those cables they perfectly match one of my system, the music Iam hearing is Live without the performers, On my main systems, I connected my Norh Leamp just so to reburn in them again, an hour later I can't believe what I am hearing from my technics SB 700 speakers,Live but you are in the event, without the physical performers, You are right This discovery thought me a lot of lesson in audio.Never underestimates the cheap ones,But Iam still interested to try Teo ,Reveal ,CT graphene ic...Doug Thanks

Doug I respect those who can't hear the differrence on cables, I also feel sorry for them, How can you even build a good system if you can't hear the differrence.Doug look how many cables new cables with excellent review to enjoy, Example Teo, High fidelity, Cerious Tech graphene. At this time I don't even want to touch both of my systems, but after Axpona I will audition this cables....
