Very curious indeed...Over the weekend I got the Signature version (from a fellow Audiogoner-so burn in should not be in play)of my current M III amp which per several reviews was said to be a significant improvement. When I replaced the M III with the M III "Signature" it was not the major improvement I expected, and the bass was very wooly , boomy. The mids and highs, while very good, were no better than the standard unit. Since I am using anti-cables and of course had to disconnect and reconnect them to switch out the amps, this thread caught my eye. I have been playing for about 24 hours now with no change. I am about to switch back to the former amp and am very curious to see if things return to normal...
Unplugging / replugging Anti Cables Changes things
I recently had to move my Linn LK140 power amp sideway by 6 inches to make some room. I had to unplug my Anti Cables from the power amp.
When I replug my cables back to the amp, the previous sumptious and open sound of this beautiful cable were gone. Instead, it now sounded congested and somewhat masked.
After over 10 hours of playing, the openness of the previous sound came back a bit, but not fully. I have been playing the amp for well over 50 hrs now, the previous sumptuous open sound of the Anti Cables (when I had over 200 hrs of continuous playing unplugged) never fully returned.
Has anyone experience this strange phenomenon ?
