Well, here we go again.
To start off with, i have been very happy with the KS1 speaker cable on my system.
It proved to be a fantastic cable, especially for the price. I have tried it against a few others, like the new spectre cable about to be released, plus my old naim cable, and also some chord signature.
I have to say over all the above the KS1 won. This maybe because i also run kudos 808’s, and they are designed to work alongside the 808’s but, me being me, is always on the lookout for maybe a bit more, especially if i can get that bit more without costing loads.
Now after trying and now owning a chord music xlr cable on my dCS vivaldi, and being blown away with what it did over the xlr i was using at the time ( an also very expensive tara labs, the one cable) i got the chance to try for a week some demo chord music speaker cable.
Well, these certainly changed the way it all sounded, and i liked very much what they did, i just didn’t like the price, and so i got talking to a few guys that said I should try the Mogami w3104 cable.
So i looked into it all, and hit the buy it button.
So 5 meters off w3104 cable.
8 very nice banana connections.
8 very nice spade connections, as decided to also make jumpers to match.
Over Brading, heat shrink etc.
I love a project, and some hifi DIY.
So made them up the other day, and been burning them in, they still have a way to go, if you go by what they say, but they certainly sound different to the KS1, and i think, if my memory is correct, more in tune to what the chord music was like.
Now i don’t have the chord music to try against these right now, but i hope to grad them back for a weekend once tbese are burnt in and i have finally finished them.
But the Mogami cable is a 4 cable construction, that you could use as bi wire, but i am using 2 wires for each connection. This is the preferred method to get the maximum results from this cable.
Its a 16mm diameter cable, so its large, but it does bend ok, but obviously not as easy to work with as the KS1.
As you will see from the pictures, so far i have just made them up, they will look much different to this, far more professional finish i hope. But i wanted to just hear them first before i went further, just incase i didn’t like them.
But cables are very interesting what they do to a system, and if they can get me close to the chord music, or maybe even be better, well i will be very happy, as the price for this lot including the very nice connections is far less than what you would have to pay just to get chord music jumpers, let alone 5 meters off music cable.
I will obviously update, plus add some better pics once i have finished them.
But for now valve for money has been smashed out the park, and they should get even better.
