Congratulations
on your (obviously) world class cables.
Your Indra
XLRs & GS50-50 XLRs have been burning in now for 24hrs: I am
stunned at how natural, dynamic and cohesive my all-Gryphon/Proac
system sounds. This is the Gryphon-Proac sound virtually
unhindered by IC colouration, resonance & compression -
extremely natural.
I have
many (very sonically familiar) remastered late 60s & 70s
classic rock/solo female vocal CDs and am amazed at the
revelation of detail & soundstage information in these
recordings - mastertape noise just recedes well back into the
soundstage & becomes a minor issue now despite the hyper
revealing nature of your cables and my equipment. I am quite upset
at the many years I have been in this hobby without realizing how
vital ICs are in the overall presentation of music - I'm sure many
audiophiles spending $$$/£££ on 'big brand' audiophile cables
will be devastated if they were to audition the Indra. Perhaps the
greatest revelation so far is the soundstage which seems like a
scene from one of those 3D children's books that open up into
paper houses and people, fully open in all its glory, which I have
never fully opened before: vocals & instruments are all so
clearly layered and mixed together in very artistic ways as
separate yet intimately bonded space. I can see how talented
mixing engineers do their job for the first time - I've been in
the hi-end hobby for 10 years!
All these comments are resulting from 24hrs of burn in compared to
fully run-in Audioquest Amazon (replaced by GS50-50) & Cardas
golden reference (replaced by Indra)!! And only with simple CD
playback. Jonathan, Durham, England
