I must vote for the AU24. A little laid back is a valid impression, but it will not make you tired in the long run, will not grate on you as harsh. Punchy becomes annoying before too long.
Need help choosing IC
Hi.
As I live in Norway, and it's hard for me to try those esoteric american cables at home, I really need your opinion to help me choose without hearing.
I use a Merlin VSM/OTL system. I love the "beeing there" feeling, "getting in touch with the music", "flesh and blood". You know.
I don't like overdetailed systems with amazing sound but without musical contact.
My system tend to be a bit agressive in the upper midrange, so I dont need more of that.
I already have an AU24 speaker cable. I think this is a really good cable, and I'm planning on keeping it for a while. Does almost everything right, but lacks a bit of "life". A bit laid back and civilized.
I've narrowed the search down to these alterantives:
AU24, TG HSR, Argent Audio Pursang and Ridge Street Poiema.
I am open to other alternatives also of course.
I listen mostly to jazz.
Hope you can help me out.
Theo.
