Clash of the titans, Alphason hr100 mcs vs Mission 774.

[blackstar]

As is commonly known to anyone who hasn't spent the last ten years in Outer Mongolia I'm 100% against the very concept of wiring having any effect whatsoever. Whether it's mains cables, speaker cables, arm wiring etc etc. End of subject.

What about old and 'seen better days' wiring that might be suffering from dry joints? Or are you specifically talking about replacing wiring in good condition?

or in this case 34 yrs old?

It's the "end of subject" for Jez because that's what he believes. It's his prerogative.

Doesn't mean it's true.

I along with many others believe cables make a difference, that's our prerogative.

If you don't try for yourself you'll never know.

yes sorry oliver i agree it wasn't a good write up was it,i just got to a point with both arms and thought,sod it ones so much better than the other whats the point??
dont get me wrong the mission didnt sound crap at all,just a bit flat,i also get where your coming from when you described it as 'dark sounding'.
ive checked the bearings and they have no play.

i wanted the mission to be equally as good but it just wasn't on my tt and cartridge,on paper and barry if your reading this please confirm the 2m black suits the mission better,only just though.
who knows i may still re-wire just for fun and do a re check.

oliver if your ever near brighton give me a call,you are welcome to hear it anytime mate.

Youre a top fella mate but cant see me being down brighton way anytime soon. Looks like ill have to buy one lol

It sounds pretty damn good. Although I must admit, I'm using copper litz at the moment (not entirely sure why ).

[karma67]

is there any point geoff going silver for just the wand when the rest will be copper?

[walpurgis]

I heard a touch more lucidity. I upgraded the cable out to the phono stage too, but that remained copper.

[karma67]

cheers,can you link to that as well please?

Brian made me a Klotz MC5000/MS audio silver RCA cable for the SME and now it's well on the way to wearing in I really recommend it.
