Grover Huffhman Sx

Anyone else using them? Would you offer me your impressions so that I might also have some others to judge against? I now have approx. 77 hrs. on mine and they continue to impress me, I know they will continue to open up more but thru this stage in changes they are amazing with the differences that I'm hearing when I listen to music that I that I am so intimately farmiliar with but, now hear nuances, textures, even better layering that had been hidden or masked before that now I do hear, for ex. I was listening to "White Witch" and the difference in tonal body, bass extention, decay and performance width & depth far surpassed anything I've heard prior on this CD. Yes, I do know this personally subjective from my listening judgement but, then again my ears don't throw a blanket over notes or vocal shadings that I hadn't heard before either. Grover's cables (I also use his "Silver Ribbon" speaker cables) have been one of the most cost effective and rewarding upgrades I've made with my system and no, I have no affliation or connection to Grover in any way other than being very satisifed with his commitment to offering great affordable products. That being said I look forward to the impression of others comparing my base line.

After comparing the two, I replaced my 5 meter Acoustic Zen Ref II interconnects with a 5 meter pair of Grover S XLR's...this was one of my rare easy decisions in making cable changes. I was not prepared for a cable costing several hundred dollars besting a very good-sounding cable that cost me several thousand dollars...the improvements were not subtle, especially in dimensionality, soundstaging, and transparency.

I have been using Grover's cables for a couple of years now -- more recently upgrading to the Sx line. Absolutely Amazing cables -- when I originally switched, the Grover's EASILY beat out a set of pure silver cables costing over 10X's what the Grover's cost -- I could have cried (sound was that good & the money I had wasted...). I'm now using his power cables for my digital front end also. Grover has awesome service too.

I think it boils down to this; we are really lucky he doesn't do the fancy name & marketing BS - cause he could easily sell these cables for ten times what he giving-em to us for -- Thank you, Grover, a real gentleman & scholar!!!

I also am a witness to Grover's IC and Speaker cables. For my system, they serve up transparency in spades. If your source is harsh or sterile, you will hear it.

Its magical once you dial in your system. Tremendous bang for he buck.

Made a purchase today! I am hoping to get rid of some grit in the upper mids, and highs. I was using MAC Palladiums, bought a tube amp and the Mac Palladiums are no good since they are unshielded. So now I have Blue Jean cable in since its shielded making the sound flat and brittle/etched sounding.
Fingers crossed!

Now have approx. 90 hrs. on my Sx Balanced cables and they started to flesh out after only 15 hrs! Now as I continue the sound is bigger, wider and deeper that any previous cable I have had in my system. RC Audio was my former reference with a large and deep presentation but now, using Grover's Silver Ribbons (speaker cables) and his balanced Sx IC there is more than just a subjective difference in the way my rig sounds now it just plain sounds even better and just continues to improve each time I listen to it. I also am in total agreement with everyone that has also posted, truely one of the most cost effective upgrades I could have done and (IMHO) an astounding difference and it took something special to replace my former reference cables as well. I hope Grover never stops.
