The last couple of years, I experimented with spruce planks as equipment support, spruce as tuning blocks, Belden 8402 ic, WE 16 awg speaker cable, Duelund 16 awg speaker cable, WE 18 awg power cable. The experiments were fairly successful and yielded a nice natural, organic sound. Reasonably resolving but highly enjoyable.
Now with the impending arrival of EMT 950 which comes with its own isolated floor stand, I am once again moving to a higher resolution, more transparent sound where I will use some of my earlier learning to ensure musicality.
With my previous last year attempt I was getting very good tone and presence but dynamics and transparency were just about ok.
Now my objective is to maintain tone and presence and improve low level information retrieval to increase dynamic agility and transparency.
To achieve this I will be adding SRA Isobase platform under my David Berning amp. Also will be changing my speaker cable to Polk Audio Cobra.
Interconnect will continue to be Belden 8402 or the supplied EMT cable. Power cord will also be the supplied stock cords with the equipment. I have added EP 2750 and EP 2050 to my power line at the mains to clean up the incoming power and the ground. Hence will be reverting to simple stock power cords which the designers themselves used while designing the equipment
Let’s see how this experiment goes
