Some time ago I was using Blue Heaven interconnects and made the switch to Red Dawn. Red Dawn offers more of what you like in Blue Heaven, but IMO it also produces a smoother high end. Not rolled off mind you, but rather removes some glare that was evident in the Blue Heaven cables during my A/B testing.
Nordost Blue Heaven
WOW! I just bought some new Nordost Blue Heaven IC's - 1m pair at music direct for $129 on sale. I was replacing some Nordost 300B Micro twin which I was finding a tad warm in my system.
My system is comprised of:
Sonus Faber GUarneri Memento speakers
AES Six Pacs - upgraded
AES AE3 MKII pre
Cambridge Audio 840C CDP
Clear Day Shotgun speaker cables (SUPERB!)
Anyway, the cardas cable made my system sound very warm and thick. I decided to give the Blue Heavens a try as I heard they can help liven up a warm system. I placed the only pair I bought between my CD and PRE and the first day I though "OH NO! Where did the Bass go??"
By day two holy cow!! These things sound beautiful! My soundstage expanded about 2Ft on each side, and I am hearing much more detail without any harshness at all!
Vocals are now perfect and instruments sound so real. I can only imagine what some mid tier Nordost would do for me.
Amazing cable IMO and cheap. Now I am curious to try their speaker cable!
