And connected too from my experiences
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 Rega P10 psu. Tbh the mains cable on the CD player was a big upgrade, on the Roksan box a significant upgrade and on the P10 psu barely noticeable.@Cereal Killer others have found that the jump from the LS40 to LS80 is easily greater than moving to the EWA interconnects (I’m not aware of anyone else with a full loom).
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 it’s a compromise I can accommodate due to the sound!
However, I can imagine that some people’s level of domestic acceptance is different to mine. Whatever I have looks less than ideal going around the fireplace, but I want a Hifi system within the room constraints and that is the consequence
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.Hi Cliff,
No the webbing is light compared to the cable and conductor, the special mix plastic has a very high density, we tried to lighten it by making the web between the conductors thinner but it was not so good sound wise lost some detail and the pick up noise was 10dB higher.
Making a thicker custom build would mean another tool and it would have to be in ceramic and then the cost would be silly very silly so it was back to K.I.S.S. again. Sorry and it weight would also be about 10% heavier than we have now and the bend , well forget that it be like a RSJ so you have to higher Bender from Futurama to bend it.
By far the most “wow” cable upgrade I have ever experienced.
Yes, LS-80.Agreed - if you are referring to the speaker cables

Effectively, yes.So is this essentially just bi-wiring?

What does that mean then? How is it different to bi-wiring?
