FWIW (imagine I'm sounding like a broken record...heck, I am a Stereo Audiophile
), but Hearing is Believing! I received the
Morrow Audio SP4 speaker cables on 7/26 and have had them cooking with music 24/7 since (now over 400 hours of break-in). They Are the Keepers...sent back the Canares! The Morrows (to Me) are worth 5X the price (50%-sale) of the Canare S411 cables!!!
They take all of the positive sonic qualities of my previous cable usages (30 Yr 10Ga Monster Pros, 12 Ga OFC KnuKoncepts, Blue Jeans 11Ga Canare 4S11) and Step-Up the LIVE music reproduction presentation with
Improvements in:
1. Soundstage depth (recording dependent) 10 to 20 feet deeper than any of the above speaker cables.
2. Soundstage Pinpoint focus, with much greater air and separation of vocals, instrumentals, strings, keyboard and small ensembles.
3. Venue accuracy, ambiance and spaciousness with tremendous width, depth and height.
4. Balance of an extremely natural, open and live 3D Holographic presentation.
5. Excellence in micro/macro dynamics.
6. Extremely accurate timbres/tonalities/resolutions.
7. Superb attack/sustained/decay articulations.
8. Full Bandwidth precision and balance-Nothing is missing.
9. Make my Highly-Resolving 2EX Sing with Very Musical, Realistic and Live-You-Are-There Presentations.
10. Relaxed and Smooth Aura of Sound that allows for Hours of continuous non-fatiguing listening sessions.
11. More Naturally Allows the music to become an effortless, immersive and engaging experience.
12. Ease of system/speakers disappearing with only the Music to Enjoy!
Overall, I find myself toe-tapping and listening to every bar of music on each CD as I hear and feel what the musicians intended to impart in their creative art of music! Often, my mind is Blown, because What I See (my room and my components) versus What I Hear (Live Venue Performances) are in such stark contrast, the goose bumps, breath catching and sometimes tears just flow!!
Seems now, I can just enjoy and relish the emotional art my full musical library genre presents without any thought or interference from my “Stereo Setup” (With Thanks to Ascend Acoustics)!!!
