OK...I'm going to type something that I was going to keep for myself...but I figure the Axiom board and this discussion is a good place to disclose something that I experienced.
A couple of weeks ago someone came over to audition my Ascends. He wanted to bring his own integrated amp and CD player....interconnects and speaker wire.
Plugged everything in and we listened. Sounded great, he loved the CMT-340s.
I went into the other room to do something. The music stopped, I just figured he was changing CDs. I came back out and the same song was playing again, but it sounded different. I asked him what he did. And he said changed the interconnects. I told him it sounded more forward, and he said he thought so too....and that is the characteristic these interconnects had on the sound.....they were silver coated.
Now, I know some of you will question this, but I swear to you, I heard the difference and had no idea of the cable change until after the fact.
