Srajan, just read your updated preview of the Matthew Bond (shaken not stirred?) cables. I'll follow your findings with interest, more driven as yourself by curiosity as I'm quite happy with my Kinki Earth loom. Having lastly replaced ASI LiveLine speaker cables which performed admirably for years, I'm in your camp regarding small differences among well-made cables. So will MB be a revelation? On verra as your colleague Joël Chevassus might say. All best, Michael
Indeed. My channels are open to a revelation. If there is none, I might lack the level of hardware necessary to fully benefit from such cables? In which case I'll never know. Srajan
Gosh, that’s surely the definition of a conundrum! Bonne chance! Michael
It's reviewing 101. Whatever our results, we never know what our setup (room, ancillaries) might have left under the table or otherwise skewed. It's that tired 'it is what it is' which many wish were banned from common usage. In many ways how a loaner performs is luck of the draw. What mitigates chance are experience; and having sufficient hardware alternates and rooms on hand to wrangle up alternate scenarios. Still, there are limits to that. It's the subtext beneath all reviews. Context is all. Srajan
