Just received my first pair of Grovers cables yesterday (2m XLR Grover S from preamp to poweramps) and have only listened for 6 hours, so its only first impressions of them without burn in.
The first thing I noticed is that they changed dramatically over these first 6 hours, which no other cables I have had have done, and they seem to be settling down quite quickly.
First impressions are that they have a very nice silky midrange. I dont think Ive heard anything exactly like it. Initially the dynamics just werent there and the bass and upper treble were extremely withdrawn. Also it seems like I have to turn the amp up to get the same volume levels as other cables. Over the 6 hours the mids started getting more punchy and the bass and upper treble started to ease back in, although they are not all there yet.
So things really havent stabilised yet but I am getting a feel for where they are going and I like what I am hearing. I am anxious to get back home and continue listening. For now I want to repeat that what I hear so far in the midrange is very special.
