This post is going to put the final nail on my coffin labeled Jamo Fanboy :lol:.
I noticed noone has mentioned Jamo cables so thought I'd bring it up. Apparently jamo has 3 grades of 99% Oxygen free, transparent casing cables.
Audio Grade Cable Accessory - Description
Their casing wasn't particularly thick but I wanted to biwire my fronts and didnt have time to go around auditioning wires so I figured all my other stuff is Jamo excluding my sub, might as well complete the set.. so bought 5m of the 1.5mm grade for Rs. 500.
At the time I was using copper speaker wires I had bought from chandi chawk
which had a decent thickness casing and mediocre strands. Anyway upon attempting to connect the wires to my E875's the first thing I noticed was
the wire is a LOT thicker than it appears while in casing, it's heavily coiled. So I got done biwiring the fronts, time to play.
Instant difference! there was a certain harshness to the sound which just vanished, quiet seemed quieter, loud seemed louder. Didnt notice a difference in bass, but the has definitely "opened" up I feel.
For 500 bucks for 5m, I think the difference in quality of sound was well worth it. I can hear stuff stuff in the background I could hear before too but I can certainly make out a distinct change in the transparency. It wasnt "as" defined earlier as it is now.
Hope this posts helpful for anyone whos interested.
