What a welcoming sound. timber, detail, speed and space are the highlights of this great cable. Comparing it against the FT, 1950 Shield, OTL and SOA using Trailli, Jewel and Raven. While it is not as bombastic as the PWA cables , it excels at bass definiton and quality. It goes as deep or deeper than any of the others but goes for details and correct timber instead of pounding levels of bass. Mids are exceptional and emotional without adding weight , they just simply pull all the detail and emotion out of the human voice and instrument have the real life sound, wether the gently plucking of a guitar string or the burn of a raging trumpet. The top end is extended well beyong my hearing and never fatiguing. Stage and separation are exceptional , each instrument or voice in a concrete location and with room to breathe and not step on the other instruments.
The only thing lacking here is comfort. This is a thick cable that is not as flexible at the rest and can be a burden to bend behind the ear. I can personally sacrifice a little for that great sound.
