FWIW, I like that DNM sells some expensive and highly regarded gear however they stick with their minimalist wire design. I'm sure these are highly profitable but I have no problem with that as long as they also seem to represent good and practical sound value compared to the more esoteric competition and the extraordinary price tags many other "high end" wires bear.
DNM Stereo speaker cables-experiences?
I recently am enjoying an experiment with DNM solid core speaker cables, the newest version. They are connected to LS3/5a speakers from a tube amp as single wire not bi-wire.
My questions; do these cables need to burn-in, or is that all a myth?
Do you think that these cheap cables can really compete with, say, Zu cables or Kimber cables for example, especially in the bass department. I'm finding them to be a bit 'wooden' overall, and a bit lacking in bass definition. It may be that I am being presented with a soundscape which is simply different (to my Kimber Monocles) and I'm comparing cables rather than enjoying music!
Your experiences appreciated.
