Still reckon you need a wireless pair in that collection.

I will finish that thread I raised on them at some point.

A pair of Black Cat Neo Morpheus interconnects have arrived. A Chris Sommovigo design.
The wife says I am not allowed to sell them on again as she likes the box so much. Actually it's become part of the decor of my listening room.

They seemed to take an hour or so to settle in.
Or maybe I was just getting used to and tuning in to what they do.

Remarkably transparent and fast and impactful.
After the afore-mentioned hour or so, they seemed to settle and the soundstage, which had been a bit 2D, suddenly started growing and focussing.

Very good indeed, pleased with them so far. And intrigued to hear if they have any more settling in to do.

I have pre and power amps, so two pairs of interconnects are needed.
Would another pair of Neo Morpheus be just too full-on for me? Hmm. Could be too much of a good thing.
I have 2 other pairs of "main interconnects" - Morrow Audio MA2 and Black Rhodium Opera DCT++ - I will play with them as partners to the Black Cats over the next day or so and see which I prefer. The BRs are a tad laid back but hugely sumptuous and sophisticated, proppa high end! The Morrows are a bit more explicit and less obviously classy. Will see how the synergy works out.

Aye , you can have too much of a good thing Jerry , especially with digital . Perhaps the Black Cats are just telling you ' how it is ' in terms of how your system actually sounds .
I must admit that I don't like too a system which is too explicit and tend to prefer good quality copper cables , except where silver cables are built using very high quality silver , and plenty of it .
If I was keeping those cables I would be thinking about framing that box

I had a pair of wireless Sennheiser 170 that put me off the concept.
About £150 iirc, and they sounded pretty crap, you're paying a lot for the wireless capability, I thought. Seemed to me they were a fairly poor vfm £50 set of cans with added wireless tech.

I don't want or need wireless capability in my home anyway. Would cut me off from my surroundings too much.

Nice one. 'Le Chat Noir' is one of my favourite images from Toulouse-Lautrec: https://www.google.com/search?q=le+c...ih=696&dpr=2.2

Love those style of posters, in the right room! Enjoy the cables - the design is interesting

Marco.

Ah, OK. Thanks, Marco.

Here it is buried amongst hifi and fish tanks.

Jerry , your place looks almost as tidy as mine , Quality

**jandl100** · 24-03-2019, 07:18

Yeah, I don't do "tidy".

Well, brand used amp.

Can anyone apart from Jerry guess what it's is? Does anyone even care? We'll see.
