Argento cables - any experience?


I'm looking for opinions about Argento products. What's the sonic signature of Serenity speaker cables? What have you compared them with?

Geopolitis, I see that Tidal is wiring at least the Contriva Discera SE with Argento Flow Power cable and that they are the importer for Scandinavia. I can only assume that the Contrivas I heard at CES were wired with Argento wire and they sounded great after the Ypsilons had some time on them. They other wires were the Stage Threes.
Geopolitis, I have only heard Tidal speakers with the diamond tweeter. I have long loved the plasma tweeter used in Acapella products but generally it sticks out as superior to and different from the other drivers. All that I can really say is that the diamond tweeter in Tidals sounds every bit as good as the plasma, but different, and it is seamlessly integrated with the other drivers.
It seems that Synergistic Research cables are not available in Europe. I have had Valhalla, Townshend, Indra, IsoClean, FIM, and several others that I cannot name in my system and the new Tesla series from SR were clearly better. They are all charged cables. At the last CES a dealer friend and I heard a demonstration of the Odin versus the Valhalla. After we left the demonstration we both said we preferred the Valhalla. But the demonstrator just presumed that everyone preferred the Odins.

I wonder what it is within the Argentos that might lead to them being excellent. They just seem to be high purity 5 nines silver with nice looking RCA and pc plugs.

Certainly at least first off I am going to be using the SR cables on my Tidal Contrivas.
Geopolitis, remember that I also face this threat to my previous conclusions when I get my Contrivas next week.

I must say that I have found the Synergistic Research new charged Tesla cables superior to the Stealth Indras that I used to own.
Schwinnindia, it is interesting how different the cabling choices are in Europe from the US. I have been using the Synergistic Research Tesla lines of ac, interconnect, and speaker cabling. I was told that the Argento cabling was not as resolving and quiet, so I will probably not try the Argento. Certainly, what I am hearing certainly has the fastest attack, most precise sound stage, most extended and defined bass, and the most extended and sweet top end I have ever heard.

Most recently, I have added the SR Galileo Universal Cells on both the ics and speaker cables, they added substantially to all of the above characteristics of the charged SR cabling.
