SPOTFIRE new interconnect review

[Blackmass]

Some thoughts...

Compared to Yannis Tome 420.

+ve points

Genre neutral seemed to perform well across a wide spectrum of choices.
Great cable for complex torture tracks
Fantastic wide open soundstage
Very capable of producing intimate female vocals, literally sitting in front of you.

-ve points

Lacks bass authority.
Vocals sound a little recessed and to the back of the soundstage.
Not as detailed as the Tome cable just looses out in the microdetail stakes.
Produces a shade more sibilance than the 420 IC's.

The cables perform extremely well and I can heartily recommend them at the price point. I could quite happily
live with these cables if it wasn't for the fact that I'm spoiled with two system's completely wired with Tome's
work. The Spotfire only just misses out on the performance of the Tome cable. It has no problems handling heavy
progressive metal, or producing an intimate soundstage of a vocalist sitting six feet in front of you. It's a very
detailed cable but not as detailed as the Tome cables. Bass performance could be a little more visceral and offer
a little more authority but these are only minor quibbles in the context of the reviewer being pedantic!

cables will be sent out on Friday.

Thanks for sharing. Mine arrive tomorrow.
