In other words, all i experienced with my experiments with cables concur with what you experienced.

With 78 microns the detail was emphasized and everything sounded more distinct. The background appears blacker than it should be, it seems to remove some detail which makes the background appear blacker, but it emphasizes the detail which boosts it up to the same level as with 60 microns, it sounds both blacker and whiter which gives the illusion of greater dynamics. The edginess makes each sound sound more distinct. It's a great match for mp3 because it compensates for the smearing. It's also best for trance albums because it gives faster transients with more blackness in between each transient! When I modified my power cords thinner it sounded thinner and brighter (brightness was masking the detail). At first I thought it was worse but later after I had tweaked my system more it sounded too dark and heavy, so I tried the modification again and it worked, I got loads of detail! Thinner cable is more revealing. The body was reduced but ERS Paper boosted the body back up. ERS Paper removed most of the brightness which revealed low-level transients I never heard before. |
