Thanks as always KanedaK,
As mentioned earlier..., all three of you've convinced me to get another pair | get over said bias regarding their appearance, because as we all should know once we've gotten pass the age of 21, we simply have to base our findings upon what we actually take the time to listen to | and in that includes knowing what we're listening to | how to listen.
It's only then that we begin to realize specs | measurements can't tell us now any component is going to sound in our homes | in so much as using them to sort of guide us on how to match and amp and speakers, and even then I tend to test said theory | like the one years ago about say owning a pair of Celestion SL700s, and thinking, they're far to inefficient to be driven by a SET based amp..., until one tries them with say a 300B design with is used in parallel | it mightn't blast one out of the room, but it fills a 12' w x 21' d. room with ease ( I've heard this tandem in my own room as such ) there's a Audiophilac(?) video where Steve | Herb are talking about impedance vs sensitivity, and it makes a lot of sense based upon how easy any given speaker load is designed where it's easier to be driven based upon said load.
It seems these cables were designed by someone whom took the time to understand how they sounded versus measure, as I've heard the real NodOst cabling as far back as 1995, and sort of figured why it works in some systems | not others..., it's one of those type of things where it fits perfectly into a system with SET amplification, as its sense of nimbleness | extended highs and lows make up for the soften effect some SET based designs which rely upon power tubes like 300Bs respond, yet in all honesty there's more to said designs than midrange, which is why I've always preferred the quickest of smaller less powerful power tubes like 45s | 2A3s, as both offered a much cleaner top to bottom end response | and while both lacked the power of said true 300Bs, where on average is designed properly?, one could get between 8-13 watts per channel on a good day.
It's when one usually tired said NordOst cabling on solid state amplification | one begins to notice they can be rather bright, said Chinese designs strike me as simply more forgiving in nature...-, or maybe it's me, hearing into their sonic signature the wrong way?, which I seriously doubt.
Thanks again for the sense of reassurance | as it's vital to keep this thread alive until the wheels fall off, as far as I'm concerned.
