Nope, not going over this subject again lol
theres a lot of klotz being sold lately,i wonder what everyones ditching them for??
I have noticed that too.
I sold mine because I have moved my kit so bought some more Mark Grant HDX1's. The Klotz had been in my box for a while and had no urge to use them again.
The Klotz are great, but in the long run, not for me. Something (occasionally) wasn't gelling. https://theartofsound.net/images/smilies/smile.gif So maybe I'm just too used to the sound from the MG cables as I've been using them for donkeys.
Brian's builds are excellent though, top quality, top service 10/10. Top man.
The Silver/Gold ones which Brian made for me were excellent in my system. On a par with MG's in certain areas but had more zing which between source's and pre was the best place I found. Alas I needed so many in different lengths I couldn't justify the cost.
Are you building them again, Brian?
The only ones I've not tried are the Carabou? Ones. Which are supposed to be a step up from the Klotz.
Selling my 3 spare ones because they have sat unused in a drawer for about 6 months now.
Just decided it was time to have a clear out, have a load of kit I used to use still here.
Not selling mine as I'm swapping to something else, happy with what I'm currently using...£500 a pop and the first thing I'd heard that made me want to upgrade from Brian's cables.
I tend to hold onto all my kit and cables.
End up making systems that go to family and friends.
All Brians cables have been superb.
He indulged me(after loads of pestering) and made up some exotic wires that are truly superb ....i just dont have the skill to do it myself.
With a bit of negotiation he has made some really outstanding ics.
No substitution for experience IMHO!!!
I thought I'd try a 1m length of Klotz MC5000 and aquired some, and all I'll say first is "Brian you earn every penny" making up the cables, I'm a Auto-Electrician and very good at soldering, I've worked with far easier cable than Klotz MC5000. On burn in now to see how it compares to Van Damme Pro Classic
The Klotz is easy to solder.
Try the Sommer Carbokab 225, as preparing it takes much more work.
I bought a used pair of these off the forum last week,I’ve only used kimber pbj for the last 20 years and haven’t ever swapped anything in or out,I was expecting pretty much the same sound or possibly not as good,I’m still scratching my head at how much better they are,total step up,I actually thought the volume had accidentally gone up,got the dB meter out to check and it was exactly the same as I swapped them backwards and forwards,so really unsure how that could happen,greater dynamic range???
