Isn't the stock cable Aluminoy just thinner?

The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread
- Thread starter scolaiw
- Start date
You know who rips you off? The ISP. I see all these people with a gig of speed and when I check their modem on Merlin they top out at worst 25 megs. I can tell when they play games download and watch 1080p to 4k just by looking at the frequency graph. I get the service for free and I I only have a 100meg. When 8k video starts streaming you'll top out at 100 megs. Figure show the none industry people something. Save on Cable and buy good Cable.

@qboogie that's if it's left to play for that amount of time. If you keep disconnecting, reconnecting, coiling, etc. during break-in you pretty much need to start the timer again. If you can and using a solid state amp just let it play, put a pillow over the headphone.
Both stock and Superconductor 1266 cables use our Alumiloy conductors, however each utilizes different strand size, dielectrics, and topologies.. The stock cable is a 23 AWG x 4, doubled up, so basically 20 AWG. The 1266 SC cable is a twisted pair 15 AWG, hand-made from the inside out.

Don't these many hours... And eventually hundreds and hundreds of hrs... Just wear down the TC bad?@qboogie that's if it's left to play for that amount of time.

You don’t have to put on any real volume. Just anything over “0”.
What, it doesn’t break in over time? I’ve never kept my TCs or SC running 100hours straight. I mean, everything sounds amazing, I have no complaints, but I never knew “burn-in time” referred to continuous time on

Absolutely you can do it over time, it’s just not going to happen in 3 days, and for whatever reason there’s seems to be a need tor speed here. I should mention it’s much better to listen to a new thing for days at a time rather than swapping in and out. Choices then tend to favor long-term enjoyment.

Reading these impressions I get the feeling that the best cable for TC would be like halfway between the stock and superconductor?
Can you guys at Abyss start manufacturing this cable?

Yup. That will take about 70 hrs. LOL.Don't know about the cable. But after spending close to 3k on one, I usually go through denial, anger, bargaining, depression and then finally acceptance..

I use roon /tidal for discovery. Out of 100 tracks I'll keep 1 or 2.
Here is one I dislike but it's a good example to my sensitivity (looking more like mids and not as much treble as I thought)
Check this track out
The annoying *clap *like sound is from 0:45 to 0:55
What FR range is that (and how can I narrow the range down as tight as possible)?
Also, you guys with the TC, do you find this FR, this clap, fatiguing? Piercing?
Here it is.
Please do ne a favor and check it out, I'd love to hear what you guys say about this fatigue. I think it's mostly me. And not others. At least not the TC.

In past days i listen 30 new bands (discovery mode too) and 80% of it sound so flat and compresed, damn, TC really can show how music can sound bad.
Not my music taste but for me it sound ok.I use roon /tidal for discovery. Out of 100 tracks I'll keep 1 or 2.
