Nordost SPM thin and unfocused? Phew. Not in my system! I also tried "warmer" cables, realizing pretty quickly that top-rolling was their trick. With a very clean, high rez system the SPM are superb, and indeed better balanced than the edgier Red Dawn, and simply more resolving, and indeed weightier than Blue Heaven. OTOH they're overpriced, but I got mine for 1/3 here on the 'gon.
NOrdost with bottom end....
I do like the airy, open presentation of NOrdost spk cables...but crave a more substantial bottom end(just ask my girlfriend! sorry...)...at any rate...on paper looks like DH labs q10 and Analysis plus oval 9...any other cable that comes to mind with this level of resolution,extension,transparency,and bass response?...
