RE: Chinese Odin 2 Silver PC on Order

FYI

Listening notes and thoughts on the evolution of the Silver Odin II China

First, a brief on power cords in general. I have owned amplifiers that the best power cords made zero difference in sonics. Conversely, I have experienced other amplifiers and associated sources in which power cords made significant differences - sometimes better, sometimes worse, most often, better in some aspects, and worse in other aspects.

Out of the box, what one first notices is that the pace of the music is faster - don't ask me how or why. I timed the music with and without the new power cable - and the elapsed time is identical.

The highs and midrange are more developed at this stage, with the imaging very good. The highs have some sparkle on the very top, and some evidence of shrillness and lack of tonal balance. Overall, the cable appears to emphasize brightness.

The attack of the music is a bit too aggressive for reality, and the decay is very good - no complaints if the decay does not develop after burn-in.

Bass is a bit muted and almost understated relative to the full sound spectrum.

As a side, I do notice minor aspects of recordings - breathing, plucked strings, room size when a decaying block sound is struck etc. Very revealing.
