I'm not sure about the last batch of Odin Gold RCA iCs I've bought. Maybe they are too "soft" sounding for my system? I love it between DAC and preamp, and that one is going to stay; but farther down the system (between preamp and active crossover, between crossover and amps) they seem to smooth thing out just TOO MUCH.
Yesterday I put my old Odin cables back and BAM! Life, dynamics, detail, 3D image, even SPL seems a bit higher.
I'm fully aware about burn-in and I will keep burn-in the Gold cables through the Tape Rec output of the preamp, not listening to them, for a little while. We shall see.
In the meantime I've found another Odin cable I'd like to try: it's the same as my old ones but instead of having the fake Furutech Rhodium-Carbon plugs, it has silver plated plugs from the Chinese OEM brand XSSH. The price was extremely cheap at 35USD / 1m so I purchased one. Logically it should be the same as my old cables but without the effect of rhodium. I'm curious.
