SPOTFIRE new interconnect review

Cheers mate no sense in keeping other waiting

Ok, so had a few days with Olivers interconnect...
As the demo pair had been round the doors a few times I reckoned they should be close to run in, so plumbed them in and let them play away in the background.

The critical listening bit can be informative, but for me what works best is letting the sound soak in over time...get used to it THEN plumb a comparison set in.
Immediate impression and gut reaction is usually the right one for me, so this was my method of testing.

Few days of Radio Paradise 320K, 16/44 and 24/96 Flac, DSD and MQA from Tidal, of lots of different music, so a fair range of sound.

Know what, I liked these cables and think they sound particularly good for the money.

Impressions are of an open sounding cable with good soundstage and (particularly) a deep bass with good control.
Made most music sound good to listen to, wnich is what you want!
I’d pick these over the Klotz/MS Auido as a step up, having done the critical listening bit with these two, knowing this would be a comparison of interest here.

I’m pretty much sorted with interconnect cables nowadays, so not looking to change and prefer what I have, but if I was starting again or looking for that second step up on the interconnect ladder I’d recommend trying these in your system.

Well done Ollie, nice job mate.
Whoever’s next on the list get in touch and I’ll pass them on.

Gary was over at my place yesterday and I've now heard the Spotfire interconnects in three different systems , including my own . I must say that in all of these systems the Spotfire interconnects sounded excellent . What particularly struck me was the size and depth of the soundstage . Instruments hung in their own space , top end was very natural sounding , mids were smooth and textured , and voices in particular were beautifully portrayed . The bass was clean and deep and drove the music along very well indeed . Although the presentation of the Spotfires differed slightly in each of the three systems the basic traits described above was present in them all .
I'm convinced that Oliver's Spotfire interconnects will perform to a very high standard in a wide variety of systems and must say that they sounded particularly good in my own system . They certainly do a lot of things right and are well worth an audition if you're in the market for a very nice , well built , set of interconnects .

Thanks for that Brian. Your opinion is well qualified and I'm really pleased you found them to be enjoyable.
