Sorry to keep dragging this on but it's so interesting. I have 3 homemade solid cores, one eichman experss PC, and a Harmonix Studio Master which I picked up for well under half price used. The Harmonix is 4m-4.5m (hard to measure) multi strand, and I use in the DAC. Now, with all 4 other cables in the system, the Harmonix + DAC combo sounds like sh!t. The sound is just too big, puts everything out of wack the musicians sound out of tune and time!, soundstage shrinks, bass out of control. So I've changed some things around took it out of the wall and put in the power outlet, better but still too big, now it works best feeding my power outlet (til I mod my transport and I'll try it with that). PC's make no difference??
???I have to match these as I do all other equipment.
My brother comes over last night with a variety of multi-strand cable from the wholesalers, and were gonna do a lot of experimenting. Going to try Carol, Beldon etc. So like ozmillsy, we'll make some different styles and play around a bit.
Oh, BTW the Studio Master has Wattgate and Furutech connectors (who those who are interested).
