Mapleshade Speaker Cables


I just received a set of Maple Speaker Cable "Golden Helix" While heavy focal music such as Sade, Nora Jones sounded warmer and more detailed bands such as Earth Wind and Fire sounded very muted -terrible? The comarison was made with old monster cable that I rigged to bi-wire my VR4-jr in the meantine of buying speakers cables.

Any suggestions?

first let them burn in and give it at leaset a 100 hrs

second are you using cd or vinyl as a source?

Are you using the monster with the maplesahde or are all conections mapleshade ?

if it is maple shade alone you may want to experement with two sets of cables one for low end and one for highs
Mapleshade seems better oriented toward speakers with a better than 93db sensitivity and tube amplification(my opinion) the (double helix) sound wonderful with my system superb soundstage ,tight bass,glorious mids,sweet extended highs,vocals to die for , tried them with my buddies system ok but not great this is just my opinion,,with system cayin 300b s.e.t. integrated,omega speakers with single driver alnico..best sound i ever had and i have had many big bucks gear used to think mapleshade was all hype .no longer so
Hmm, muted is not the sound I hear with either the songle or double helix versions of these cables. In my systems (both solid state and tube), these cables "lifted a veil" I perceived from listening with other brands and those I had been using.
Incredibly open sounding and detailed with the standard Helix version. Lower mids and bass lacked some body and heft but what is there is detailed. Bi-wired some Clear Day single strand silver cables and it totally transformed the music.

I plan on getting some double Helix soon. And thanks to Dodger4 for the reporting on the cables sounding better with higher efficiency speakers as mine are 95db sensitive.

All the best,
