I have only heard the stock version, but I must wait a couple of weeks when my the Equinox version arrives. Then I can give my a opinion.

Don't know if this helps, but for my HD650 stock vs Moon Audio vs SAA, I liked the SAA more...

I've got the Equinox version. It is superb. Fantastic. Unbelievable. Breathtaking. I've not compared it to the Zoo, but I have heard the stock version and the Equinox is definitely the winner.

But..... Unfortunately I can't afford to keep them! So if anyone wants a good deal on the Equinox version, pm me....

 

[Blackmore]

Thanks for your replays guys.

So far 2 for stock and 3 for MoonAudio, not that much...

Hey Blackmore,

When we last spoke your experiences with the Equinox recabled GS-1000s didn't seem too happy....have you had any more thoughts?

You know my thoughts on this recabling - I believe on my phones and rig I've experienced general, all-round improvements in most sonic traits over the stock cable, but for me the high frequencies are still occassionally over-agressive and still an issue with my music types (rock/pop mainly). I'm also around 130+ hours into burn in and so I think the cables should have reached their full sonic signature by now.

Thanks - John

blackmore,

go for the APURESOUND V3 Cable...

that's the only one that we need for our GS1000...

I love my GS-1000 with Equinox

. Now they are 120+ hours burn in and I think it is better than a stock version. I'v heard only once a stock version, so my vote is ....

Not A/B comparison but after long time. System the same.
GS-1000 stock
-More underlined details.
-Slightly sharp highs.
-Not as powerful bass.
-More nervous, but more interesting sound (to me, of course).

GS-1000 Black Dragon
-Generally more smooth sound.
-More powerful bass.
-Tonality biased down.
-Highs entirely smooth.
-Maybe (I am not sure) not as deep colors.

My experience is that the GS-1000, recabled with the Blackdragon cable, and fed through a balanced amp, is much better than stock through a regular stereo amp. I have serious doubts that the cable makes an audible difference, but the balanced aspect of it is easily worth the $$$.

At the last NYC meet I went to, one of my favorite rigs there was the recabled GS-1000's through Ray Samuel's B52. No other amp or combination came even close to bringing the GS-1000's to that level.
