Just got a 0.75 meter pair of the "new" Bogdan Princess IC's, upgrading from my old Magwire Nakeds for my Music Hall MMF-5 turntable>Bottlehead Seduction phono preamp>KGSS>Omega II's.
The difference is huge. REAL music is flowing through, very tonally balanced. Real rhythm and pace, nothing "reluctant" about it. I think the bottlehead has a softer character and somehow the synergy right now is just great.
The last word? NO...I could criticize it for being a touch veiled (again, could just be the Seduction), but good GOLLY what a difference. MUCH more signal integrity flowing through...realism, natural, smooth, relaxed but DYNAMIC and inner detail is excellent. Echo trails off forever. Music is delicate like a live flower, versus a more "rugged" silk flower. I can hear "into" the room, like I am looking through more of a clear window to the actual session.
Piano is as close to perfect as I've heard (in my admittedly limited experiene), horns have "yin" and "yang" at the same time (hard to find out there), voices are full and rich and intimate with bounce and body.
Those Eichmann bullets are nice and the "new" version of the Princess has wider teflon tubing for less contact on the actual wire itself, from what I understand.
The body behind the tone is just great...smooth, realistic, "live." FINALLY some non-aggravating sounding cables and they are not burned in yet (something I don't put too much stock in anyways).
Good stuff, just thought I'd let you all know...satisfaction for cheap. I have no real desire to change at this point...synergy is great and any improvements would come at a highly inflated price, I'm guessing.
