Great to know you also notice it.

Are you talking about speaker cable? It looks like Van den Hul, guess it's Royal Jade, dark green one.

My previous speaker cable was VDH Goldwater, i have changed to Chord Carnival Silver Plus last month (run in around 60 hours now), it gives a more neutral and warm soundstage. Love it.

i am currently pairing Cable talk 4 cable to my Concertino. =P
will proceed with more run in and report in how's the sound
anyway. grandspy. i am currently back to sarawak. and i shall contact you after i go back to KL by 26th =)
by then we discuss out a time for a mini gathering for ppl who loved sonus. =)

That day I listened one I think it was a pair of Transparent Cable, not VDH. But I still think it did not match the system. I think a pair of speaker cable that can "hold back" a little bit of detail will be more control.

Some speaker cables are too 'transparent', too analytical, it make the soundstage dry. It's subject to a person's taste.

As my post earlier, i like warm, neutral soundstage, that's why i choose SF speaker. I am searching int. amp which can provide warm, neutral pair with SF, i will make some critical listening to Audio Analogue (Primo, Verdi, Puccini) to compare.

I'm using a RM1 per meter red and white speaker cable
The cables are the last thing that I'll look into. At least after I get a proper amp. They're more of a fine tuning stuff.



Do report back to us on your findings please

Howdy grandspy, so long never hear from u. Where did u go?

Sure, i will report. One of the weekend, i will make audition again in Perfect Hifi, but i would not buy int. amplifier until next year, so just take more time to make comparison.

Btw, last week i bought AudioQuest Copperhead analogue interconnect replacing my old Daytona analogue interconnect, after run-in for 50 hours, it sounds superbly great, warm, can match with VDH the Source. Anyone has any good/bad feedback on AQ, please share.

Cheers.

The Cable should not be last thing, It give much improvements to my system although i am using the cheap vintage int amp. Anyway try to find the cable as neutral as possible, avoid the cable which got network & strong characteristic, unless you want to tune your system.

I am also plan to get proper amp & start saving money for next year upgrade. If you found any good amp, please share with us.

Same here... next year would be a good year to buy an amp



Hmm... I beg to differ. You should spend your money on cables after you get all your system in place, not before. The cables should suit the system, not the other way around.

Very beautiful stands in metal and walnut specially made for Sonus Faber Concertino/Concerto/Minima/MinimaAmator loudspeakers

agree... cables make a big diff in the sound overall !

Remember, in hi-fi as in life ... a chain is only as strong as its weakest link ...
