Well, Lak auditioned the Sonoran against the Ridge Street Audio MSE Genn II and sent the Sonoran's back. I did not get a chance to try them out nor listen to them in my own home. Nonetheless, Lak told me they are the best copper cables he's used. I am confident my next DIY project, a cryo'ed & polished copper ribbon speaker cable will outperform the Sonoran. For months I have been thinking about how to do this properly and even discussed this with Robert Schult and Jon Risch. The cable will be sprayed with laquer, wrapped in a secondary dielectric and encased in a tube filled with fine silica sand. It will be rather labor intensive but it's going to be superb...
I found my ideal interconnect - Sonoran Plateau
I have owned or listened to many ICs in the last 20 years or so, some cheap ones and some expensive ones but none has given me as much satisfaction as the Sonoran Plateau. I just received a new pair and tried it as phono cable in my vinyl only system.
Unlike most ICs. The high frequency is not rolled off and the bass is not unnaturally enhanced. There is also the mid bass which was not clear at all before, came alive. The bass is very firm and natural. It is the most natural, well balanced in all frequencies cable I have listened to. There is much less distortion at higher volume level, much more opened sound overall.
The funny thing is this cable is not advertised in any audio magazine. I have to say it is best kept secret in the audio circle.
I have to say this cable is the best addition to my system for the money.
I have just ordered another pair, to be used from my phono stage to the amp (I don't have a linestage).
