    Makes sense, sounds like a voluminous cabinet

    Good write-up Bro! You independently appear to have reached much the same conclusion as me about the sound signature of these LS-40 cables and the upgrade over the already distinguished LS-25. We do both use MF amps and Rega front ends! In brief summary I found the sound more organic and...

    I did and I am a proud owner of MC-5, MCS-5, IC-25 and LS-80!

    If not being an advertiser is a bar to a product being reviewed by the HiFi press, that is an appalling situation, which destroys the credibility of reviews entirely and reduces access to useful information that could inform decisions for consumers. I always thought there was some mutual...

    Difference between LS-40 and 80; You have the same record player as me! My amp is an upgraded Nu-Vista and my speakers are larger PMC25.26 floorstanders, so that especially could affect the performance differences of the cables. However, I think some on here with smaller speakers have noted a...

    I think, without exception, we are all people who have recently auditioned EWA cables and in all, or at least most, cases have decided to spend our own money to keep them, as they have enhanced our listening pleasure at an affordable cost. I first tried and purchased EWA 3 years ago and recently...

    No need to apologise for asking a reasonable question. That is what is generally so good about this group. Participants are not abusive, disrespectful fools pushing their own agendas and hiding behind the internet, but curious folks who enjoy music and want to get the best from their systems...

    Really interesting to read another experience with the LS-40. Also interesting because guess what? I used Ecosse cables prior to my journey with EWA about 3 years ago. More specifically I had MS 2.3/2.15 in a biwire configuration and this was good cable that set me back hundreds at the time and...

    Interesting what you say about trying a smaller web. I am certainly glad no sound quality compromise was made and it’s just fine in looks and size as it is. I manage ok and one channel has it folded and coiled up and the other stretched around the room. By far the most “wow” cable upgrade I...

    I have a full loom in as much as my main record source phono amp (Rega Aura) is powered by a MCS-5 and my amp by a MC-5. I have IC-25 throughout. In fact the only things that are not EWA are Russ Andrews Evo Powerkord 500s on my CD player and Roksan phono amp/PSU box and a Powerkord 300 on the...

    Ok thanks for clarifying. The mass of the cable is really in the twinned runs of LS-40. The sleeve adds a slight amount of bulk but is a woven, quite lightweight material. Mine is in a position where it would be a domestic issue due to appearance and flexibility, but it works ok like that and...

    T This may be tempting the devil, but did you consider trying LS-80 on your exotic amp? I know it uses very different circuits to mine but the difference between 40-80 on mine was jaw-dropping. The various threads are so big now I can’t recall if you did try it or considered, then rejected...

    Just read the review on the amp; really interesting design concept and engineering. From a practical viewpoint it looks easy to live with too as it fits on a normal rack and isn’t heavy. Power consumption is probably low. My Nu-Vista is double the weight and needed a custom-sized rack. It’s a...

    Sounds really interesting and a real statement design. Amazing it uses class D amps too...more and more seem to be doing so. Will have a read...not that I can afford one!
