Fowler Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 comparison .. guys.. anybody using it and how gd is it for HT or stereo? Thanks .. QED Silver Anniversary - Not suitable for HT. Stereo wise, it gives reasonably good transparency but it is a little too bass shy for most users I know that have used this cable, myself included. Ecosse 2.3 - CS or MS? CS2.3 (Cheaper) gives good imaging, tightens bass well. A good buy if a general do it all cable is what you are looking for.
Guest damnit Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 sorry but this is OT. rock123 can please reply my IM?
Guest duckling Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 I agree with Fowler, between the 2, I would choose Ecosse CS 2.3. If I am not wrong, Phil is using this cable, maybe can ask for his advise. Ecosse CS 2.3 shld cost abt $16 per meter from Asia Sound but the price was quoted last year. Both Asia Sound and KEC carry this cable, check price from both before commit. I would actually advise on letting the system run-in first before spending further on cables. With system already run-in, you'll understand better on what is missing from your system that you need cable upgrade.
Jag Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 Rock123, Please check your IM and reply immediately. Also check the Radioshack SPL meter MO. Your attentionon this is required immediately.

Wanted 2 get it but KEC ran out of stock... If my memory doesn't fail me.. CS 2.3 is a multi-strand cable which is good 4 LF according 2 Ecosse. I oso have e CS 4.2 biwire which is a combination of CS 2.15 & CS 2.3. Solid 4 e HF & multi-strand 4 e LF... Anyway. . I agree /w Ducky... burn in ya system... esp. e speaker 1st than guage e sound u r getting... tweak accordin 2 preference... e.g. If u find e sound "dark" then get QED silver anniversary 2 balance it up since its "bright".

Phil The CS 4.2 consists of 2 runs of the Ecosse CS 2.2. I suppose you are referring to the CS 4.4 Anyway, the LF cable in the CS 4.4 does not look like the CS 2.3. Clarence pointed out that the LF cable in 4.4 is somewhat thicker than the Cs 2.3

Clarence pointed out that the LF cable in 4.4 is somewhat thicker than the Cs 2.3 Ops... u r rite! I m using CS 4.4 indeed! Blur.. kekeke The bass/mid drivers are served with the multi-stranded rope lay pair of conductors, giving superior performance in bass extension. The solidcore pair gives greater treble extension, while presenting grainless, crystalline highs, which are neither forward nor aggressive. As an important added bonus - and we believe unprecedented at anywhere near this price - this cable has a braid screen with drain wire to shield the music signal against radio frequency interference. When the screen is drained at the amplifier's earth terminal, the already black background becomes even blacker, and notes decay with an even greater coherence into the acoustic; leading edges are crisper and the soundstage becomes even more focussed and altogether more believable.

Guest jonlee Posted December 21, 2002 Posted December 21, 2002 H Rock. In case u are interested in the Prime 1000, I have a 2.5m pair for sale. IM me if interested. As I suggested, you shld let your system run in first. But if you really must upgrade your cables, try Tara Labs Prime 1000.

Ender1624705735 Posted December 21, 2002 Posted December 21, 2002 I'm cable deaf.. I don't find the changing of cables produce dramatic differences in HT. Stick to Belden 1810a speaker cable and everything sounds just right to me.
cherabin Posted December 22, 2002 Posted December 22, 2002 Sama sama using Silver Anniversary for my fronts and centre. Sounds good for me I'm cable deaf..

Phil1624705739 Posted December 22, 2002 Posted December 22, 2002 Sama sama using Silver Anniversary for my fronts and centre. Sounds good for me Common complain is its a bright cable... coupled /w bright speakers like Mission... ya ears gonna rings man Phil
