CLEAR DAY DOUBLE SHOTGUN SPEAKER CABLES UPGRADE

I took turns listening to the cables via the iNova and also the wadia and SC-35. At this point I was listening for subtle differences and preferences, which there definitely were.

listening to each of the above referenced cables and then switching to another cable. After the first week I would spend about 45 min. I spent the first week of casual listening to help burn in the relatively new cables. The list is as follows:Īnd then a few hours of mixes of Jack Johnson, B.O.B., Morgan Paige, etc… for non-critical listening. My listening material was a playlist of some of my favorite songs as well as those that I always enjoy listening for that extra detail, decay, or emotion that another piece of the puzzle may add.

CLEAR DAY DOUBLE SHOTGUN SPEAKER CABLES UPGRADE

I have thoroughly enjoyed the lack of a need to store and fumble with CD’s and everything else and after the Wyred4Sound upgrade I will probably call it fin. It was a battle of finding the perfect combinations and resisting the urge to try another one of the myriad combinations of cables and components. from speakersĪgain, not the most impressive system, but I really am looking for a simplified system after dealing with components in the past and all the various interconnects that go along with it. Listening position was approximately 6 ft. Speakers were approximately 8 ft apart, 3 ft from wall Wadia i170 transport (used with Pioneer Elite SC-35 only) Pioneer Elite SC-35 (used with Wadia dock as well as ipod directly connected) INova integrated (Sabre DAC, ipod dock, tube preamp, and stereo amp) However, an opportunity to try some very highly regarded and fairly expensive cables via this demo could not and should not be passed. Secondly, I will admit to leaning slightly to the naysayers of speaker cable philosophy in the sense that thru the assorted cables I have used historically, I don’t recall ever having a watershed moment or miraculous breakthrough in performance.

However, I think the DAC, preamp, and speakers involved are sufficient to be able to hear a difference if one is indeed present when switching cables. I tried to get a Wyred4Sound DAC and STI1000 in time for the review, but that did not work out. First, let me apologize for using a fairly modest system to test out these cables, which may be disproportionately expensive for the system I am currently running.
