So at the risk of ridicule for bringing up the topic again...
@Gopher represents a hi end cable company,and recently sent me a $800.00 USB cable to try,
Final Touch Audio Callisto.
Unlike headphones,amps,DACs or even tubes many people scoff at the prospect of how much of a difference a cable,let alone a USB cable can make in ones system. Given the snake oil mentality that I know many members have,I approached the cable with a certain degree of skepticism before putting it into my chain. Almost instantly I noticed a massive change.... Like Wow! What a difference! Im not talking small,incremental changes either. In fact,I would say it changed the sound of my system more than it did when I went from my Vinshine to my TRP,which was no small change itself. It completely transformed everything I am hearing. Theres so much information in a given song that im hearing that I literally had no idea was even there after over fifty years on this planet.
The staging goes from 3D to hyper 3D and im able to hear so much more detail across the board. The separation is off the charts.
Now my report isnt all rosy. Im noticing less midbass slam,but it could be because the cable itself has only about 50 hours on it,so perhaps this aspect will improve.
FWIW I get no kickbacks or have any financial interest involved whatsoever in this venture. Im just reporting what im hearing. Some of us will not blink an eye dropping $800.00 on a NOS pair of great tubes. While many members of this forum will laugh at that thought,those of us in this thread know what great tubes can do to the way we hear music. Im telling you here and now,this cable has made a ginourmous difference in what im hearing. Its almost like an entirely new system to be honest.
If the midbass returns to its previous state I will be purchasing one for myself.
