A pair of ProAc Tablette 10 Signatures arrived today. I’m hoping they’ll make better partners for my Atom than my current B&W 805s Currently burning in 24/7 in the spare room.
Vertere Redline cables
XLR-XLR for 222-250
Speaker cables 2 x 3m.
Arrived today and picked them up from the dealer in SW London, returning the demo sets they kindly let me hang onto for 10 days.
Sounding pretty good straight out of the box - wasn’t expecting that…
The stands look really nice. Did you fill them are do they come filled? If not try Kitty Litter. The cheapest clay none clumping unscented stuff. It dampens well with out over damping. Another little bit is to remove the ProAc jumpers and replace with jumpers made of the same speaker cables you use. Enjoy the D2R they take about 300 hours to really open up
Puritan PSM 156. Nice uplift in sq. It’ll be interesting to see how it changes with time. I’m still not satisfied with the system since 252/Supercap DR entered. It’s cleaner, more natural sounding but lacks som warmth and free flow that the old 82/Supercap had. I’m not giving up just yet though.
I won’t go back since the 82 really is “noisy” compared to the 252 but order needs to be restored. I want both clean, sharp, warm and free flowing.
Probably the NDS/252/250DR combination… There will be lots of suggestions for ND555, NAC552, 300DR. Who knows, but might eb worth working with a dealer with a good used stock on some home demos. Weird things happen with system synergy. i was a bit unhappy with the streaming side on my 222/300/250NC (a bit closed in and vocals back in the mix, lacked warmth c/w my Vertere TT/Phono). Was contemplating have to go to a 300 series, but a trial of a cable change (vertere redline XLR - pre-power and speakers) put it absolutely right. Take it slow and try things is the solution…
Yes I too am experimenting with cables, power supplies for the Lindemann streamer and now also a spectacularly good grounding cable (can’t be bought since it’s a locally produced cable). It connects the 156 to the Puritan ground box. It’s shocking how this cable can change the sound so much.
