If your cables are the same as before you started changing other things, how can you logically blame them for the loss of extension? Why don't you try going back to your original valves and amp and change one variable at a time? That is the only way you'll be able to figure out what went wrong.
Kill Top End Extension - All Silver Ribbon Cables
Hi Guys,
I have a system were ALL the Interconnects and Speaker cables are all Pure Silver Based Ribbons from PSC Audio. http://www.pscaudio.com/ Would any of you know, whether this would be a BAD idea, if my current system is a tube based setup. I guess I'm wondering if this whats killing the top end extension in the music. ie. the nice shimmer on the cymbals. I've changed all the tubes on the pre-amp and the Amp is only about 2 weeks old. Furthermore, the pencil valves on the CD player have also just been replaced.
System Configuration
Amp: 13E1 Tube Monoblocks
Pre-Amp - Supratek Sauvignon
CD Player - Audio Aero Capitole MKII
Interconnect: CD to Pre - PSC Custom Pure Silver Ribbons (1 mtr)
Interconnect: Pre to Power PSC Custom Pure Silver Ribbons (2 mtr)
Speaker Cables: PSC Custom Pure Silver Ribbons (2 Mtrs)
Many Thanks to all that reply...
