Silvergarde S3-C and Senn HD 650.
Yes he isAnyone know if Trevor is still making the Silver Draug? Seems it has been removed from his site.
I received this Silvergarde S3 cable from @TigzStudio last Friday for my new LCD-4. Now I already own and use an assortment of Norne Audio cables for my Audeze LCD and other headphones in the Hifiman and Sennheiser series, such as the Draugs 2 and 3, the Solvine 2S, the Zoetic, and even the original Silvergarde S (Clear and non-clear versions), and all these are stellar in their own way. However, the LCD-4 and Silvergarde S3 pairing has taken things up quite a notch, as compared to all the others... I was of course expecting to hear some kind of difference when I ordered the S3, but I did not really know exactly what kind to expect... Let me just say that this has been quite the surprise, and a mind-boggling one at that..., but in a good way... I am hearing more detail, more transparency, clarity, extension, and you name it... Normally, I should not be that surprised... But when you have long assumed you already have "perfection," and then something else comes out, from left field, and shows you unexpected limitations in what you took "perfection" to be... What do you do in such a situation...? I still love all my the previous models of Norne cables I own, and I think I am going to hold on to all them, because they all still sound stellar, each in its own way, and it has taken me quite some time and investment to assemble them...
And yet, I am afraid how much this new LCD-4 + Silvergarde S3 is going to spoil me by making those previous cables sound like various shades of "inadequate." I do not have the kind of deep pockets that would enable to contemplate getting Silvergarde S3 or Draug Silver replacements for all my existing collection of aftermarket cables, and that is where things stand now. By the way here's the "usual suspect," in its full glory :
What would you say would be the main change in the sound signature between the Draug 3 & the Silvergarde S3?
Just a little more patient Trevor has been having a ton of work with past and present orders piling up so he might be a bit behind schedule. I have mine on wait too. The wait is worth it however!Still waiting on shipment (or even a communication) about my BF order--now 3 months old. Sent second communication through Norne web site asking for order status. Is anyone else waiting for BF orders to be filled?
