Thread: SPOTFIRE new interconnect review

    A few weeks ago I bought a decent length of cable I *hoped* would be good enough to make into a lower budget version of the SPOTFIRE cable.

    After three weeks, it finally landed.

    I set about making a pair of interconnects. Rather than go for a 1m pair, I went for a 2.5m pair which I thought might do for between the DCB1 and the Krell.

    First impressions:

    Flat, dead and completely uninspiring.

    Shit!

    I like to listen to a freshly constructed cable then remove it whilst it burns in on an old system I have in the garage.

    10hours later:

    Hmm, not as bad! Treble had extended a little and the mids opened up a wee bit too.

    Encouraging

    30hrs:

    Bright!!!! Treble is very extended but left the mids and bass behind.

    50hrs:

    Ah! Smoother and far better balanced. This is more like what I was expecting. Soundstaging is now far more 3D and it's no longer flat. Sounding very dynamic and energetic but with no nasties. Good stuff!

    100hrs:

    Its fairly safe to safe to say this is usually when I stop noticing big changes and things may change but very subtly.

    I've now played about 10 albums and compared them with the SPOTFIRE. It's safe to say that this cable is actually incredibly close in terms of resolution and detail retrieval. They sound very transparent and I am feeling very confident that they are not giving much away to the SPOTFIRE.

    Cool!!

    I'll do more listening and comparisons but I am very happy with the results.

    A bit more feedback:

    I received these a couple of days ago and was taken aback by the increase in volume, clarity and depth after plugging them in!!!

    Whatever fairy dust Oliver is sprinkling over these cables it works a treat.

    Buy with confidence folks that these WILL make a difference!

    Hi all,.

    Unfortunately, I broke my collar bone, left thumb and left wrist, as well as multiple wounds, coming off a motorbike last night

    If you are waiting for cables, I will see if I can get them built up for me by a mate who is very competent.

    This will cause further delay and I sincerely apologize for this.

    I'll try and get in touch with you individually but once this morpheme wears off, I doubt I'll be much good for anything

    Oliver.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
