The SPC cable by Chris Himself seems pretty practical in terms of price:

Perhaps a group buy since he is a member of the "club"?


I think the cable Dale liked in terms of sonic improvements was the pure silver, twice the cost of the SPC, unfortunately.


Actually, I think this: http://hplaudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66&products_id=193
 may come closest to Gavin's OBEAH cable.


Then there's that lol.

Oh God. I'm talking about how cables improve sound. I guess I better get saving for some NOS Virtual Dynamics Judge powercables.


This thread is like one cable mention away from turnin into the 1P2 thread, which is why I only mentioned the cable thing to Gin in a PM. For our sake, and mostly Muzak's, let's quit while we're ahead lol

i suppose Gavin does some Vodoo to his cables, perhaps talking to them and kissing

now listening to Madonna's Hanky Panky, love it.... unfortunately no possible to find clean video copy on youtube.
and it sounds sooooooo sweet with ASG2 and Tralucent G/S cable, envy me

check OST Dick Tracy for complete original soundtrack, IMHO by far the best album of Madonna, this was the only her album I would listen non-stop.

what puzzles me is why so many dudes here wanted black Stealth copy of ASG2? i check Eke's black ASG and find paint wearing out and spots... would not this be more pragmatic to buy Frosty version of them?

The wearing was the result of a specific incident (or series of incidents). Not due to regular wear and tear.
 
We all know that black don't crack.

Because the stealth looks sexy on pic? I kind of guess it's like trying to date a model. Instead of going for the girl working in the apple store.

Although I do agree with Gintaras that the S/G cable makes an immediately noticeable difference in cleaning up the sig, and expanding the stage, it's a hilariously expensive. It's like $700 or $800 from Tralucent I believe. I'm personally hoping that the mods that Dale's working on will achieve similar results for a lot less. I will also agree with Gintaras in sayin that the Tralucent cable has got some funky mojo going on. I actually bought another hybrid silver/OCC copper that did not make a difference to my ears, not sure what Gavin does to his cables but that knowledge is likely proprietary.

I noticed the difference when I compared the two cables using Mars Volta, cause Omar likes to layer like 15 guitars on top of one another or some ****. With the stock cable, the G-2 makes a valiant effort in separating and lending some semblance of intelligibility to these overlapping channels, but with the S/G, the sense of space and articulation audibly improves. I suppose my only nitpick is that midbass impact and quantity is attenuated a bit too much for my tastes, so drums and bass don't sound as meaty as the stock, but eh, what can ya do? Wait for Dale's mods I guess

 
 
Thank you eke and Idsynchrono_24.

I think it was Andy (of AS) who mentioned that Dale had looked into it and that they were replacing the finish with an epoxy based paint that was super tough. There are definitely some niggling glitches and bugs in the current batch, but AS has monitored the thread closely and I like that they are taking feedback from the community to better the product rather than resting on their laurels. Should be some good stuff comin down the pipes soon

Anyone tried Jack Daniel's cables with the ASG-2?


Slam enough Four Lokos and you can probably get the stock iBuds soundin like the 009 lol
