RE: Tangram Le' Journey Continues...




So yes you have prompted me to try the Rhodium Xangsane plug and gold plated cyko iec !

I am still not fully acclimatised to the change brought by my Cyko gold plated plug / Accuphase wire. / silver plated iec , a revelation in my system IMHO. This from my balanced transformer to Xangsane blue rhodium receptacle.

It wasn't too many minutes into listening to Coltrane black pearl album/ side two, the pianos higher notes were pingy , the sax was not right, shouty, just plain coloured, and then Byrd trumpet was screechy and plain fatiguing. I have it further minutes but that was that and returned back.

Now the control returned the focus on the very back of the soundscape returned, much more nuanced and involving, I have zero complaints, mesmerising! Truly special!!
Iam so happy to have found this combination, I do think some more burn in has helped too.

On Wednesday I received another Accuphase powerchord and Viborg silver plated plug and Viborg gold plated iec, all changed and plugged in to my TV downstairs system that has a wonderful quad vena play integrated amplifier. Listening on Thursday has confirmed that this will be permanent as the vena sings with more definition/ clarity and the depths of the soundscape here is much more focused and nuanced.
The reason i got this combination is because of it being in reverse of the above combination and I wanted to hear any difference in swapping out . Tone continued once it's got more hours on it with the vena.
BTW I did the iec inlet upgrades where I could throughout my system few years ago settling on unplated copper where no fuses are needed and Viborg gold plated with fuse holder on phono
I can't do anything with media player preamp or dac as they have their own integrated on off switch built in to the iec inlet.
