Got the V back today from Audio Origami. Very I have had several hours listening to it so far and can report that several things have happened. Soundstage has improved further, micro-detail pickup has been increased, vocally artists appear more intimate, and sibilance has been decreased as well. The edge of notes appear to be better defined, this is something I could never quite picture but now I see what people mean by this statement. I'd even say that there was a little extra space between instruments. I can see further the mix of a record and there have been several occasions where I can hear artists talking to each other in-between tracks just before they start playing. I have yet to start using the Adjust+ pro software so that is going to be this weeks "toy" over the next few evenings. My next series of tweaks will be upgrading my Atlas balanced speaker cables and replacing my Isotek Elite mains cables with something suitably more exotic and hopefully all in SILVER and carbon fibre!!

wow, the lengths we go to for perfection! keep up the good work matey. pure silver after the isotek leads will sound too bright IMHO

David,

Have you any idea why things should sound bright? The V is now fully loaded with silver, the intrinsic wiring, cartridge tags are pure silver coated with teflon and terminated in Eichmann silver bullets. My system dosent sound as bright just a hell of a lot more detail, I think have burned in now and all I can say is that the upgrades were worth the £300!! My next upgrade will be the speaker cables. I dont know whether to make my own homebrew silver balanced speaker cables or terminate my old nordost SPM reference cable with balanced plugs?? Any idea??

[MCRU]

A lot of customers tell me silver can sound bright but in your system not so which is good, I have a lot of silver myself and a bit of copper too. This may work nicely for you, silver plated speaker cable from sonic link, I have a bit spare if you fancy a bash?

[MartinT]

Silver doesn't sound bright for me either, but you have to have a well balanced system in the first place as it will expose any harshness there may be.

I would be surprised if you could better the quality of Atlas cable

I have nearly every thing connected with pure silver, interconnects, speaker cables, power sockets and plugs and even IEC inlets as well. But my system does not sound bright.

Colin, what make you say that?? The Atlas does indeed sound very nice but I keep hankering back to my SPM reference and I remember preferring this to everything else I've heard. I must admit that I havent heard many cables mainly QED silver anniversary, Atlas, Nordost, and some van den hul stuff and the SPM seems the best. The speaker cables and power cables will eventually get replaced but I'm going to be reviewing my system with the Adjust+ software just to see what it's doing!

Im only basing it on the fact that Atlas appear to go the extra mile on quality material and very good build. Im open to the idea there is differences with certain metals.
