Furutech Evolution II Interconnects


I borrowed several pair of cables from thecableco to audition with my digital source (Lampizator Level 4.5 / Gen 4) feeding a Cary SLP-05. I felt that my current cables (Audio Magic Liquid Illusion) were a bit too bright or aggressive. I am not sure what the right words are, but I am looking for something to "tone it down a notch." I also listen to a lot of records so that certainly influences my preference in sound.

One of the sets I listened to today is a pair of Furutech Evolution IIs. I am really liking them right now. They seem very quiet and I don't hear anything that seems exaggerated.

I am wondering what others' experience is with these cables and how they compare to the Reference which is the next model up. I think I liked the Evolution more than the Purist Audio Design Venustas which are twice as expensive.

Guido,

Have you also listened to the Reference? How do they compare, sound-wise? I realize they are a bit more expensive.

They also sent me a pair of Jena Labs Fugue which I did not like at all.

Thanks for the advice on the AQ Columbias.
The price difference is crazy. For $270 one can make their own 1 meter cable using Furutech's wire and connectors. That same interconnect (with the GC-303 module) costs $1500.

Have you used the solderless connectors or would you recommend the ones that require soldering?
