Yesterday I finally received my silver dragon replacement cable for the HD650.
I replaced my cardas and plugged the silver dragons leaving them to burn-in.
Here are my initial impressions ( after 24 hours burn-in ):
Details:
The first thing I noticed is that the level of detail has increased significantly ! I thought the cardas gave me details but the silver dragon suprised me once more - this cable is uncompromising detail-wise. Almost every thing is "exposed" - from squeeking chairs at the concert hall to the pianist's feet thumping the pedals.
If you love details - this is the cable for you.
Treble:
Treble has significantly extended compared to the cardas - sometimes it is even too bright.
Midrange:
Midrange has been pushed forward - and I love it.
Bass:
The bass is much more controlled - and the bass soundstage is bigger - BUT, I can't say I noticed any extension to the bass, maybe a tiny bit disappointing for you bass lovers
.
Conclusion - Part I:
The silver dragon IMHO is a perfect match to classical and jazz music.
Details, midrange and treble are presented beautifully and accurately, sometimes too accurately
( if you know what I mean... ).
If you love bass - I recommend you to audition this cable but do not expact miracles...sorry.
I will bring more thoughts after I pass the 100 hours burn-in mark.
