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. :-)

Thank you all for your comments.

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.

would be very interested to hear those clips and also what changed your mind (really only the one setup issue you mentioned?) are they the same silvers you tested against the blacks long time ago or different ones? I will return….. I have not made up my mind yet……. Same set of Blacks and Silvers as...

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! I don’t know anyone who hasn’t done this at one time or another. I fully agree! :-) I won...

Re: Beck and his black boxes.

I is sounding really nice! PSR&T is definitely more musical and enjoyable on I compared to H. Very good. Blu Tack is great for holding a cartridge onto the platen of my microscope, but for damping Hi-Fi gear generally not a good idea. Thank you for listening Thomas. I agree……. …….. though something...

Re: Beck and his black boxes.

Status of my system: In my Sondek days I had a slight problem with the deep bass. It turned out to be a wrongly adjusted front left spike in my stand. This resulted in many wrong turns with “Blu Tack” and more when using my CD player. Now my setup is simple. No “Blu Tack”. No use of power conditione...

Your points Fredrik fits nicely with my findings. More distance between source and poweramp helped music. I have two empty sockets between them.

Thanks again for the feedback everyone. I really can’t wait to hear a stereo pair either! Thank you Spannko for bringing this up again.

This is kind of what I experience in my system too.. I have the original old Silvers but use my Blacks.
