As my JH 16s are not yet here I was only able to test them with my UE TF10s swapping out the stack cable with them. I've hooked them up to my Shadow, which by now has about a 100+ hours of burn-in time. I happened to listen to the Michael Jackson Essentials CD2 tracks thru my iPod LOD. The tracks have been ripped at 320-bit AAC. I've heard these a number of times before...but I don't think I've ever heard them the way they now sounded. Everything was more detailed, precise and crisper in the entire audible spectrum. And this is using the TF10s...can't even imagine what the 16s can bring out of this gear!
I knew for a long time cables made a big difference, but I had no idea they could make this BIG of one. Like I suspect many previous customers, I had my doubts of shelling out the money for the 64" cable (almost a price of a 64GB iPod Touch), but I'm glad I made the decision. Hopefully, when I switch to the iMod, the source will improve further, but that's about a month away. Right now I'm using a 6th gen iPod Classic with the ALO 18 AWG LOD.
Thanks again, Craig! Great customer service and a fantastic cable!
