Thanks Tangram,As I thought about my constant off topic rants can be off putting to some, but I'm certain we all have stories to tell, it's merely a matter of one's willingness to speak on said matters as they relate to our daily lives | experiences.
I've to suppose as someone whom once again worked as a primary audio hardware buyer, I learned decades ago to listen beyond the chances in the sound of cabling or components | had the ability to only focus on the actual playback of notes within the recordings, so while I've seen plenty of folks talk about items burning or settling in, I've only experienced once as far back as us moving into our apartment of which we've resided since November 2009, as my usual practice was always to place the AC Receptacles on either side of the system, at which point I'd perfectly locate the equipment stand, and speaker stands, and afterwards via the old Sumiko ( Audio Physics ) Master Set method for speaker placement, where I believe everything is locked into its best ( final ) position, I than carry on said listening sessions and never felt the need to relocate anything..., it's only after having established said placement for said items, that the furniture is carefully centered | located within this shared space, and never once moved.
My aging ears as they're, simply adapt to ways of listening beyond any extra noises from the electronics themselves, yet as hinted at in the post before last, I addresses noises traveling along the AC mains as far back as 2010, starting with a single Audioprism QuietLine, before having ended up with 3-4of the Add-Powr Electraclear eau4's placed around the primary room, with great effects I'd add, so feeling that I've paid attention to ways of producing an even quieter listening area, said types of weird noises other than what's within the recordings, don't catch me off guard anymore..., yet the sense again of little spatial details within the fiber of vocal and instrumental shadings of which I'm currently hearing are simply mind blowing in more ways than one, Man had I only experimented with the tandems of un-plated copper | pure silver | silver plated copper power connectors say 17 years ago, what might've been possible?. Yet I'd mention the combination I'm using in said location is once again an Oyaide AP-004 Beryllium Copper | Platinum-Palladium ACMale | Viborg VF502S Silver Plated Copper IEC Female Plugs.
I'll explore the Pure Silver CopperColour upon its arrival, and I was told by several of those guys that produce said power connectors, to avoid the Pure Silver IECs, for what struck me as maybe health reasons?, of which caused me to cancel my order on the latter and stick with un-plated copper or silver plated copper ones at the tail end of the cords I've selected, of which I just don't have any reason to doubt my hearing. I just know, in our home I can't justify using gold plating anywhere whatsoever.
It's like as much as I've loved the three variants of the Naim Nait's ( 5Si | XS-3 | SuperNait 3 ) over a period of time as Turan ( A British Audiophile) mentioned in his YouTube review of the former, they each apparently chop off the extreme top end detail, as an effort of making them more forgiving of older recordings | yet that extra microsecond or so that's required for proper rimshots | shimmering cymbal decay timing wise has been reduced, it's only when I compared each to the extremely nicely balanced little Heed Audio Obelisk Si MK lll, and its ink, that I honestly felt I was hearing every little sparkle | snap | crackle | pop as clearly as I ever had, which got me to thinking to myself after said Nait 5Si | SuperNait 3 were sold, if I had only had the wonderful sense of top end detail | beauty as rendered by a single pair of Xangsane XS-9001Ag IC's just how much it would've restored this sense of balance to the listening experience where I'd have lived with the latter version until the Creator had called me home.
I believe there are times where each of us have nice gear, yet also can overlook the little details like synergy | which cabling looms or types of plating connector wise, just might cause us to pause on the so-called next upgrade | simply enjoy listening long term, to where I've come to believe, if a system has been chosen wisely, one is less likely to change out things for at the bare minimum 10-15 years, depending upon the equipments overall design | quality of both external and internal components?.
These days, I just don't have the heart, nor the funds to buy a complete system including stands | cabling loom at around $50.000 or more, as those days of real checks are well behind me, so I make due by selecting said plating types of connectors | cables | PCs by ear, and it's weird...-, but the cheaper items to my mind have bought about a more enjoyable listening experience which is far greater than the much more expensive items each have replaced, here I'm taking both electronics | cables, go figure.
