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?

Argyro, have you compared Odin with Organic in your system?
Odin power cord is incredible! Only Argento FMR can be compared with them. I have them both in my system. The rest (I had top models from KubalaSosna, Stealth, Jorma and Valhalla) are much much lower level.
But I understand that it doesn't mean anything about interconnects.
I had Argento Serenity RCA and didn't like it much.
Odin XLR I had few days and was impressed.
They was better than my KS Emotion. Valhalla was worse.
I sold my Emotions to friend who replaced Valhalla.
So, my expirience tells me that Odin is better then Emotion, Serenity and Valhalla.
I also had Echole in my system for audition and prefered Elation.
If Flows are much better than Echole, than may be they will be better then Elations.
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.

Schwinnindia, it is interesting how different the cabling choices are in Europe from the US. I have been using the Synergistic Research Tesla lines of ac, interconnect, and speaker cabling. I was told that the Argento cabling was not as resolving and quiet, so I will probably not try the Argento. Certainly, what I am hearing certainly has the fastest attack, most precise sound stage, most extended and defined bass, and the most extended and sweet top end I have ever heard.

Most recently, I have added the SR Galileo Universal Cells on both the ics and speaker cables, they added substantially to all of the above characteristics of the charged SR cabling.

Bertram Proxima II [Digital Cable & Analogue Interconnect]
Bertram Ultime Ref [Power Cable]

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.
