I work in a car dealer as a mechanic. I have a real good customer that is a super high end audio dealer. I work out in the Hamptons on Long Island and this guy installs home theaters and audio systems that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Well, I pick his brain whenever he comes in about different things audio. Well, last time he was in I was asking him about interconnects and if they really made a big difference. I have a Fisher 400 and a set of K1000's (among other stuff) that I listen to all the time. Well, today he comes in and hands me a bag that weighed like 10 lbs. He says "Here, see if you can hear a difference in these." Then he goes on to say "Don't lose them, those cables are $7500."
In the bag was a shiny new set of NBS Omega interconnect cables!! It's a bit of overkill, and kind of like feeding a pig strawberries in my system, but hey, what the hell, right?? If you're gonna hand me something like that, I'm gonna try it!
Right now I have the K1000's hooked to my HH Scott amp and the cables are too big to hook to that thing. The RCA ports are too close together. In the meantime I hooked them to the Fisher and I'm listening now with my HD580's. They don't sound like the same headphones. There' a whole lot more detail to them now.
I'll switch the K's over to it later on and give a report. I have to give them back on Tuesday. I can smell that this whole thing is going to cost me some money. Not $7500 though!!
