Argento cables - any experience?


I'm looking for opinions about Argento products. What's the sonic signature of Serenity speaker cables? What have you compared them with?

I have used a few - over the years;
I was an 'argento' lover & follower - vdm master ref is what I used for a long long time. It was a great cable.
I was very satisfied with it.
Then I made a few changes, Echole Obsession was installed - full set - power to speaker [i/c included]... it is a good cable - very very relaxed - a tad bit low on the resolution, but a warm and pleasent cable.
Then came the Silencable - Symphony [Germany].
Very 'heavy' [physical attribute] cable.
Supremly sublime - much better than Argento [way ahead] - I even compared it to the SMR in Germany [MOC Show] & in Mumbai with Octave & Audiaz Saria Speaker.
Finally I 'tested' the Bertram Audio Proxima II & Model 8 cables. Oodles of more info - resolution from the dCS Scarlatti to the Tidal Diamonds was incredible. The only down side - if any was a marginal drop in 'body' of the sound. Still testing - will write more in a bit...
stay tuned.

Murataltuev, Sir - to start with - the most unimportant aspect - looks & build;
This is one of the most beautiful looking & well finished cables I have ever seen or used - period.

Sound :-
Super level of resolution.
Every single details from my dCS Scarlatti is conveyed to my Tidal Speaker.

+ve = Resolution & Speed
-ve = Lacks Body / rather expensive [cable cost i.e.]

These are my primary observations. The Cable is new & needs to be 'played' for a few 100 ++ hours & then the cable needs to be auditioned. Maybe it 'settles' down & the 'body' develops. ?? XX

imho - this cable should not be used as a 'stand alone'
I need to 'mix' it with other cables [Echole Obsession] & [SilenCable - Symphony] & [Argento] etc. and then decide what combination works best for me.

Currently the dCS gear has the Echole Obsession Power Cords; the Tube Amplifiers have the Silencable Symphony Power Cords etc.
