Salby, I am using those cables between classe and Thiel 3.6's - I am getting no brightness at all, in fact until recently I was using all silver interconnects and still no brightness. My experience with these cables is the most neutral sound I've had in my system, with a very slight bloom and smooth highs. No burn-in required and no directionality. Could they be exposing something upstream?
Directionality for Alphacore Goertz MI 2 cable?
I am in the process of auditioning a pair of Alphacore Goertz MI(2) Veracity speaker cable. From what I have read these do not require much burn-in time, but the highs are sounding awfully bright and grainy. I've got Paradigm Studio Reference 20 v.2 monitors which have a metal tweeter (bright). But I can't believe the Alphacore cable could be quite this bad. There are no directional markings on the cables, no arrows that is. One end of each cable is labeled with the Alphacore name--is this to be considered the amp end or the speaker end? There was no instruction sheet and the packaging does not mention directionality. Can anyone advise?
