Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit


Has anyone tried this "minimalist" cable kit? After receiving a recommendation from someone with similar musical values to myself, and whose ears I trust, I could not resist ordering one. I will report on how they sound in a few weeks, but am interested in others' opinions too.

For those that have not heard about them look at www.sakurasystems.com for an interesting read. The cable sounds as if it is very close to the specification of the conductors in Belden Cat5. So I may have spent around 100 times what the kit is worth. We shall see.

If you have not heard this cable, please don't bother posting your opinions of how it MUST sound here. Nor am I that interested in hearing how stupid I must be to order this kit - it's my money and you are free to make different decisions with yours. Sorry for this condition, but I am bored with those that have nothing positive to offer on this site, and post their opinions based on deductive logic rather than actual experience.

With your permission, I want to send your comparison review of NBS and Sakura to the Absolute Sound magazine.

As far as Sakura cable, I tried it as speaker cables, and it replaced my Bearlabs Silver Thunder sp cables (although it is a great cable, but not as alive sounding compare to Sakura). But, Sakura as interconnect cables, it could not replace my Bearlabs Silver Lightning. As an interconnect, Sakura became little bit thin, and threadbare sounding.

Even, I cannot use all connected with Bearlabs Silver Lightning ic (the system still sounds little bit thin sounding), so I also use Lindsey Geyer ic with Bearlabs ic, and Sakura speaker cable. Now, my system sounds detail, fast, organic, neutral, sound comes from blacker background, it feels like real musicians playing in my room.

After all, sytem matching is the name of the game in the hi-end. I am done with searching cables (trying to find the right cables since, 1988), and thanks to everyone here in audiogon, other web sites and mags.
