Hi the Bullet! These are very concrete adjectives to describe the sound.
-"Sound matter" is the fact that the sound has consistency. The opposite of a thin sound, it has flesh, it's full. It's not a skelleton. Like analog Vs digital. -Softness. Do i need to explain? It's the opposite of harsness. With a good cable, the highs are much smoother. It gives a great listening comfort, so you can listening during hours without being tired. -Quickness. It's link to the dynamic, it's like the music is played faster, without sledging. The note's extinction can be faster too. I was very impressed by this parameter when i upgraded from my little Nad CD player to my "big" current CD setup. It was like the music was played two times faster. Impressive! -Precense is precense. Its' like the artist/band/instrument is in the room. You don't have the impression to listening to recorded music anymore but to a live event. A sensation of immediacy.

Thanks Olly. Another question if I may ?. You obviously have good equipment, and you have praised the merits of the HD600's and 650's before. I would assume that the perceived sound quality you hear from your equipment with the stock cord must be very high. Therefore, to what degree does this new cord improve things - is it a slight, subtle improvement, or a big, instantly noticeable one ? Thanks again...

The improvment is real big!:
" With the stock cable, the 650 is very unbalanced, with way too much low. With the Equinox cable, everything was much more equilibrated and the low was tighter and less exaggerated. That’s the point which impressed me the most. As with any good cable, I noticed a huge gain in term of matter, transparency, softness, soundstage, quickness and presence. In one word: musicality. " Please note that my headphones are drived by a dedicated headphones amp Sugden le Bijou, pure class A: ...I'm also using very "big" power cords, "big" modulation cables, power filters and separated/dedicated power lines, cancelling vibrations equipments, big sources... It forms a whole. Edited by oliverstoned - April 10 2007 at 03:02 |

I'm thinking of changing my headphone amp to a Corda Ariaetta from Meier Audio - has anyone experiences of their products?
