Speaker Cables

[Mikeeo]

Had my ears on alert today when I had a home demo of the 2 lower grades of Ansuz cabling with focus on power cables. However I had a listen to Ansuz Ceramic speaker cable as a final test. Well in the context of a Ansuz cabled system the synergy is really there. The speaker cable was a with a small margin better than my own home cocked cable but not so much I would like to dash out the dough AND definitely not worth the 100 times higher cost compared to my own. But that doesn't matter too much as the power cables from Ansuz brought some interesting gains to my system BUT to be honest much more so with Ansuz filter distributor box, in that combination my JPS Kaptovator (wall to box), and Sablon Audio Petit (2014 version) to the Devialets, Ansuz was so much better. Silent and blacker background, all/most sibilance gone, tighter and deeper bass, better wholeness to the sound, resolution, timbre, well everything. And this was with the lowest priced models, POM and Aluminium. I will test one higher into the filterbox, the Ceramic, and the Ansuz filterbox will be installed.

Gains for me could be valued; very positive, ok to negative so test and mix to find the right combination. In my case 'better' meant not better rather opposite.

I will develop more in a thread in Tweaker's Corner/Mike
