Slic Cable Reviews

[Markiii]

the irony is that had you chosen the other, once the decision was made you'd probably be in the same place. :-)


know exactly what you mean about listening to differences

Klipsch Heresy ...

Far from my idea of a neutral speaker

Well Jerry I don't really care whether my Heresy's are neutral or not because I like what they do... whether that is coloured or neutral I care not

I know what you mean Mark but actually I believe that had I sent the SLIC back I would for ever be missing what it did in my system, if that makes sense.... and the fact that I can make that statement I know that I have definitely made the right decision in keeping the SLIC

Do I think it's a lot of money for a piece of wire ? well yes I do ! but to be honest it really is that good....

Ooops there are a few posts by me which seem to be a bit higgledy-piggledy... let me explain:

• I said, in post #1, that I'd "finally decided on my new cable" but that wasn't strictly true as I had one other cable arrive to try...sorry about the Boo Boo

• I also said, in post #17, that I would make "no further comments on the SLIC" but after things settled down I have made other comments, sorry about that

• Post #19 is where I made a definitive decision on the SLIC, after trying 5 other cables, it took me a while but I got there in the end !

I just wanted to be clear on the above posts as reading them through again didn't make too much sense in the order they arrived

The posts, after the last one above, seem perfectly ok and in order.... I think

Doesn't matter how we get there Bev , as long as we do Interesting journey though . Enjoy the cable .

£500 + a part-ex Rega DAC would get you something like a second-hand Young DAC with PSU. There's one for £745 here: http://www.hifi-forsale.co.uk/morein...=young&offset=

Yes we're all entitled to use what we want and like what we want but in this context I do believe the above would offer a far more significant upgrade.

Jerry's post was in relation to how we evaluate cables in our system. I've no doubt the SLIC sounds great in your system but the question is whether this is a reflection of the cable or the cable's interaction with your system.

I agree with you Jeff when you say it could be that the cable is interacting with my system, but I guess it doesn't really matter what is going on, whether it's the cable itself or the interaction between it and the system as long as what's coming out the other end sounds superb

Likewise it maybe that the other cables I tried could also have been interacting with the system but in their case I wasn't liking so much what came out the other end

However when it all comes together, for whatever reason, if it makes me happy that's all that matters to me

You may well be correct Neil but I love my current system just the way it is so am not wanting to change anything, however the choice of cable to me was a tweak to the system to extract just more of what I already had, and love

I believe introducing other/more electronics would have distracted from a system that I really enjoy as it is

I hope that makes some sense...

Bev, it is a rather sad state of affairs really. I avoid making any comments anymore on here about my system/changes etc as this hobby is so subjective that any changes I make are unlikely to meet with any credulity.

I have a totally bonkers system (Yes, it still includes the Klipsch) but also other speakers that combined give a total air moving capacity of nearly 100" (Oooh size does matter Matron)

If I were to list it all, including cables I would probably be escorted off AOS by heavily armed bouncers. However, it really does it for me. Totally effortless, bass extension to die for with the tightness of a very tight thing.
