[DocD]

Got my cables - thanks Trevor.

Hmm - so here is where I am at.

Tidal / Hi Def downloads via Roon -> Sonicorbiter -> Curious Usb -> Regen -> Curious Link -> Metrum Pavane -> Grover Hoffman Empress IC -> Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP (stock tubes but have 8x KT150's to roll in) -> Norne Silvergarde from speaker taps -> Norne Silvergarde HP cable -> Abyss.

So happy. Freaking awesome.

Cables are new so take with grain of salt. No typical silver brightness, bass still bit shy (compared with stock Abyss cables) but sure it will come around. Mids, transparency excellent already. And they will get better!

Have not heard DHC Spore cables (but 6x the price) or JPS Superconductors (8x the price) on the Abyss to compare. Don't have "stupid money"...

Don't have "stupid money"...

You have the Abyss? Which "stock" cable did you get? Assume the "lite"? The 1200 dollar aluminum cable seems silly imho. But I can't imagine it being better than the silvergarde S. I'd put money on it even.
I would think the silvergarde would be better in all frequencies compared to the lite or the superconductor cable.. What makes it a super conductor? I thought aluminum only scores 61% on the IACS chart? I'm confused, I wouldn't think aluminum is anywhere near being considered a super conductor! A chain link fence is aluminum and surely can't sound good. I'm positive there must be more to the cable... Maybe just the outer connectors are aluminum, the cable ought to be something like silver or copper at least.. Enough about that, I'm definitely interested in your opinion on the silvergarde S with your Abyss! I don't own a pair but know someone who does and Is quite interested in the silvergarde S.. I know the silvergarde s has some of the finest silver ever and I'm surely loving mine paired with my HEX.
Congrats on the purchase DocD!!! Sounds like you got quite the setup too! Care to share some photos of your gear?

So the wait time on the Draug 2 is quite long?

How about the Silvergarde?

 

[essentiale]

Trevor just confirmed my TOTL Silvergarde S. I'm having it done for my HD800S and cant wait to receive them. There has been some back and forth and it's been about a month half but I've been patient. Be sure I will be posting my thoughts on the cables when I get em

Well, just got my Draug 2 and what a thing this is. I knew it was going to be beautiful, but this takes my breath away. I have a listening session set up tonight to test these out. MBP to Bimby to Lyr 2 to Ethers with this cable. A good Bordeaux rounds the event. Can't wait. Will post some impression tomorrow.
