Cold sound

[TDA]

That does sound promising! I might add, and others will vehemently disagree in the concept, that the Zero speaker cables I have took ages to sound good as well. Fortunately I had them new at a different time to my Audiovector speakers so it was fairly obvious they needed running in.
It was worthwhile as I've not tried a better speaker cable in my system yet and don't intend on selling them any time soon. OK I've not tried many others, mainly a selection of Transparent and Nordost and there probably are better sounding ones out there. I've been meaning to try Ansuz with my speakers for instance for a while.

well it now SOUNDS more promising.. hard to explain but it's like se sound doesn't sound stressed.. more calm and relaxed.. and warmer..

but not perfect quit yet.

Even the Analog input has warmed up ( i have a thread where my TV sound sounds like crap)..

so thanks Rufus for all the support :-)
