"life is short".. Well I am old.. Plus I have used the same cables for 20 years in the past. So I have no difficulty seeing the seven meter Kimber KS1116 as the last one for that particular seven meter spot.Some folks do not swap cables every year. Or even five years or ten.
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
Almost all the audio equipment including speaker need burn in time.
But I had bad experience with one digital cable recently.
Some people blew the horn on it and claimed burn in time more than 100 hours.
Out of box it had lot of details but etched.
After 8 weeks (around 200 hours) it got little bit better but its overall performance is not better than other digital cable that I have had.
Now it is too late to return it.
Beware of any cable claiming more than 50 hours of burn in time.
The chance is high that you will waste your time and money.

Blackcat Silverstar Mk2 is still connected to Lyngdorf 2170 and it is easy to switch back and forth between Blackcat and Zenwave D4 through remote controller. Blackcat emphasize sharp focus but it is slightly too hard sounding. Through Zenwave, his voice sound organic and everything transparent with nice transient. Zenwave D4 is much better digital cable in my system than Blackcat Silverstar Mk2 . |
@prof- "It seems to have gone unnoticed by you that even from my first post I admitted the possibility that the OP was hearing something objectively changing in the cables. And I admitted your conjecture was interesting, and did not claim it to be wrong." OK! "Yet I haven’t seen YOU concede anything I’ve said as being possible - e.g. that it could also be due to perpetual bias etc." Conceded! Anything’s possible, regarding opinions/perceptions, given the spectrum of humanity this issue covers! |
