Cables Again.

Posted by: dave marshall on 24 February 2017

Last year, I was two thirds down the road of completing the full loom Super Lumina, when Chord Music made it's appearance on the scene, and began receiving rave reviews from folks on here.

I carried on with the final piece of the SL jigsaw, and was / am most happy with the outcome.

However, my enterprising dealer has shipped me a Chord Music din / din interconnect, "just to see, Dave", and it's been in place for a couple of hours now.

It's far too soon to come to any conclusions, but first impressions are very "it's a bit good innit?

I really want to dislike this cable, and more importantly, shudder at the cost of a full loom Chord Music, so I'll have to see after a few weeks have gone by, whether I'm still as impressed, then see if I can't sort out some sort of crowdfunding deal!

The fun simply never stops, does it?

From memory a vertere hand built IC was £5200, its been a while since I have seen the prices. I have one on my Roksan TMS TT and the level of detail is amazing.

This really is a case of black boxes first me thinks, especially at the stage I am.

Go on Dave, you should give the Vertere hand built IC a home demo, you know you want to.

PS - a sideline of mine in marriage guidance councilling, give me a buzz if you need to!

I have said that earlier in the thread, Nigel, for that kind of Money you should  get a serious black box upgrade.

 

i wouldn't look towards Chord Music or Vertere unless I was at the top of the tree.
