Re: Charlie1's System

Blacks vs Silvers is just different to my ears. Each is musically better than the other - just in different ways. Pain really. I wish I was someone more one end or the other and so didn't notice any drawback to one that worked for me. I can follow both yours and tokenbrit’s description but I person...

Re: Charlie1's System

I think your setups sound great both using Silvers and Blacks. Your bedroom system has come a long way and is very musical and enjoyable. Now relax and enjoy. :-)

Rick Beato is doing great things for music lovers. I can recommend him too. :-)

If you listen to the difference in sound between Rick playing and the recording you get what “good tune” is all about. :-)

Re: Beck and his black boxes.

I prefer Blacks for the first S&G track I prefer Silvers for the first 17 seconds of the 10cc track (cos the lead guitar makes more sense), and then when the whole band gets going I prefer the blacks. Yes, in a kind of “nutshell” that shows the differences between my Black and Silver interconnects....

Of all the speakers you have had (own) which do you prefer to listen to with your system?

Re: Beck and his black boxes.

Black first/Silver second………. so you prefer the Silver interconnect clips. :-)

I agree that Silvers has slightly more “finesse”.

Re: Beck and his black boxes.

I really enjoy the Simon and Garfunkel Song on your system. The challenge with this song is following the different texts of the two voices……….. I have really come to enjoy that song too and that is the main thing. The details regarding Black versus Silver is secondary though interesting non the le...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

To my own surprise I ended up using my Silvers with a slightly changed system setup.

Linn Silver (changed setup):

It might not be the best from a “Tune” standpoint but with this setup I can float away. :-)

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

I still like them both for different reasons. What I end up using permanently in my system time will tell. :-)

I am not surprised that I now enjoy my Silvers. I am always open to the possibility that things can change when setup changes……..

Re: Beck and his black boxes.

"For the first time using my system I am enjoying my Silvers immensely…….." I'm glad that you now can reap the benefits of the Silver. They're the cable equivalent to a very good and very revealing speaker. I will make clips again and compare with my Blacks. Never waste a good opportunity to make c...

Re: Beck and his black boxes.

You’ve raised an important issue here beck: if we’re not really careful, just one slight misjudgment can lead us right down the garden path and we don’t even notice until we find ourselves surrounded by weeds!
