i wanted to share my view on siltech london rca vs regular bandridge rca cable.. the first truth, which was a revelation for me is - yes, cables do make a difference. i for one am a convert and a believer.
my setup
LG Blu ray player -> Cadence VA 1 -> Siltech MXT London Speaker Cable to -> Cadence Arista
*Siltechs are on a loaner to me by Cadence. in my observations, Speaker cable remains common, only the RCA changes. only the RCA's gets interchanged.
opinion on siltech london RCA Interconnect with WBT Locking connectors - bass is "clearly" prominent, lower freq's are definitely more pronounced...maybe coz mine is not a well behaved room with chair in center et all... however, image is firmly put in place. mids and highs are relaxed, laidback, at times it feels like the bass is over powering the same. maybe not forward sounding. however, i felt sound was a bit muddied by the bass and definitely added a flavor. which im confused with. for longer sessions i felt a strain due to excess bass.
bandridge - bass was lesser but smooth, with a punch, image wasnt as firmly put, but was good enough, mids and highs were "louder" than the siltech, overall, i was happy with the bandridges.
I would suspect my room playing foul play too in terms of bass management. maybe the siltechs was throwing in the actual bass which was too high for my room, since i dont have a pre in my setup (nor have a decent acoustic treatment) i couldnt adjust it. so it's very possible siltechs were passing more information than the bandridge.
eitherways, this post is more about whether it makes a difference or not, and it certainly does in spades. one doesnt even need to have audiophile level hearing sense for the same.
im yet to receive the mogmi's...i hope it works out well..
