Cables for Sophia 2 and Burmester


Hi!

I have been looking into the possibilty of upgrading my powercords, interconnects, and speakercables. At this point I use Brahma powercords and Thor distributor, Tyr interconnects and speakercables. I have tried Valhalla interconnect between my amp and cd player, but it lacked a little body and sounded in my view a tad dry.

There are not many possibilities borrowing cables in Norway. I have looked at Shunyata Python CX for the powercords, and Stereovox / Synergistic Research / Transparent Audio / Crystal Cable for the interconnects.

I like the dynamics of the Valhalla, and the 3D sound. But in my wiew it had a little dip in the upper bass and tended to be on the dry side. Due to this female vocalists sometimes lacked body. But that is in my system.

My equipment consists of Burmester 032 integrated amp, Burmester 061 cd player, Wilson Audio Sophia 2, Revox B77mk2, and the cables mentioned. I tried the same cable set up at Quad ELS 63 with Gradient sub basses, and the lack of body and dryness was still there.

Thanks!

I have had excellent results with KS Emotion cables and my Sophia II speakers. You can get them cheap on AgoN, and resell them down the road if you do not like them. They add a lot of body and texture to the music. I would start with the speaker cable first, since it seems to have the greatest effect.
I would also 2nd the KS Emotion cables. I recently had some experience with these and these are some of the best cables i have used. Pricey but well worth it.
I have ZenSati in my Audio Research / Wilson setup - I am a happy camper. My budget only allowed ZenSati #3, but even here the silence is deafening. I have had the pleasure of 'not' listening to both the #2 and #1 series - and it is amazing what they can do for your pleasure.
I have no experience with any of you gear. But I do think there is zero need to have only one brand of cables in a system. It's better IMHO to mix and match.
