Just got my hands on the Shunyata research delta & alpha speaker cables to test out for the rest of this month.
Did a prelim listening session with the Deltas last night and it was very interesting. Would love to hear feedback from any others who have the delta.
In my listening tests, I definitely found a difference in a number of areas:
Soundstage - quite prominent in some tracks, not as much in others
Vocals - the area of biggest fluctuation - certain tracks (pink floyd's greatest gig in teh sky) - all the backing vocals became so much more distinct and each person could be hear separately - and very lifelike. In some other tracks (george michael - i can't make you love me), the vocals lost a bit of their oomph and weight and inplace got a more airy and the position of the vocal sat a little further away and at a higher plane than previously. I've noticed the latter on a few other songs too.
Instrumentation - most chord instruments sound great as do the drums and percussion. Really snappy
Bass - more expanded for sure - which might also be the problem of it seemingly eating into the midrange
Detail - I feel like saying there's some more micro detail definitely coming out of the speakers, but can't be definite about it quite yet.
It's been one night - hoping to do 2-3 days of teh delta to get a better sense of it before I plug in the Alphas - which is honestly a lot of money for speaker cables, but I do want to try it. Would love to hear if others have any feedback on these speaker cables
