RE: Tangram Le' Journey Continues...




So in the pic you can see the rca are wired to the circuit board by means of push in connector while the xlr are directly soldered!! No wonder my Zidoo neo s sounds so much better via xlr !

Now back on track

Copper colour iec unplated silver V sonarquest cryo unplated copper with AC plug being copper colour silver unplated. Both cords All burnt in and easy to plug in and out with Accuphase AC wire.

Very easy to hear,Exchanging the silver iec to copper produces a more coloured less convincing sound, on lee Morgan's cooker album, the trumpet is more screechy,brighter,coloured even fatiguing, cymbals quite scratchy,bright splashy and unconvincing. So overall not my type of sound at all, quite a difference and would put someone off digital quite quickly as sounding too bright and even shouty in an unnatural way.

Not sure why you like this combination el34.

Returning back to the silver iec is just a complete change in control, very lowcolourations, musicality, involvement etc etc. so IMHO it's a no go for the copper iec on the Zidoo media player with built in dac, direct to my solid state amplifier, which I will announce once I have sold off a tube amp.
So again IMHO the iec is as important as AC plug.
When I return to my phono stage, I will try this again and see if it's the same on anolog ?
