I'm still enjoying the cables. Hard to believe how much they've advanced the SQ of my open baffles. I have a pair of Monitor Audio Gold 300's I've been hesitant to sell. I had them boxed up but wondered what wonders your cable could do for them. I hooked them up and heard the same improvement in clarity and imaging. When listening to a jazz album I heard horns far outside the speakers, widening the sound stage by a large margin. And the depth was phenomenal. Unfortunately, the Monitor Audios couldn't compete with my DIY open baffles which exhibited the same qualities with a more pleasing extension to the upper frequencies. So the OB's are here to stay and the MA's will be sold someday soon.
Balance. That was missing before I installed your cables. Some instruments in the midrange were so soft and recessed. That was one of the first things I noticed and really enjoyed was the balance of all frequencies. It's now pleasurable to listen at lower volumes. I don't feel like I'm missing anything.
Thanks for creating such a phenomenal product and offering it at a very reasonable price.
