Sonus Faber Toy Tower
My first floor-standing speakers and it’s the Sonus Faber Toy Tower! Got this 3 years old baby from the previous owner due to upgrading (what’s new?) and he keeps it in very good condition. No visible scratch, dents and it’s show room quality. I am pairing it with DH Labs Q-10 Silver Sonic speakers cable to complete my current configuration. Am a happy camper.
Embracing Music
With the Mirror Image .2P preamp settling down with Rowland Model 10, now it is time to pair it up with a good balance cable. It’s a very good pair of wire indeed.
Previously, I am using a T-loan from William his trusty RCA-XLR Canare cable that I found it to be decent wire. Not until, he passed me the top of the line XLR cable (which will remain anonymous now and i shall called it Blue X).
The sonic signature of Blue X as observed, felt and sensed
* there are more punch and slam to the music. it is not just about balance vs unbalance gain difference. The audio wire projects a lively and bigger stage then before. It is like Cheer Chen is singing in the room, FOR me and not to me. Blue X neither attenuates the highs nor the lows.
* probably will take at least 200 hours to burn in and it is already show promising personality.
* Blue X just presents what was there in the music originally, like unveiling of aural nirvana.
* yes, there is music muscle during playback session and i yearn to listen to the music more and more. isn’t it the goal of music pleasure ?
* to skeptics and detractors, it might seem too incredulous to think otherwise. wire is wire, any wire duh. but listening is believing: the holographic presentation of Blue X to any music is like the bridge to aural enlightenment. it amplify the senses and you might say it’s a HDR version of a photo.
And that my friend is audio for the win.
