New speaker cables as well!

I have a pair of Transparent speaker cables, and they are the most open and big (wide and TALL soundstage) sounding speaker cables I've had (Audioquest, Zu Audio, Triode Wire Labs). I've swapped them in and out of both my systems, and the effect is always the same. Only gripe is how thick and unwieldy they can be.

Annoyingly, I’m not going to be able to play with this until Sunday night/Monday.

HOLY HELL

 

[Mather]

If you don't tell us or show us what that is like RIGHT NOW...

You know what nevermind I'm getting on a plane, leave your door open.

Ok, ok, I had to set the 70lb behemoth up first and get it warming up.

So, I got this used from TMR, as well as traded in a couple items to make the cost doable.

It's an Ampsandsound Nautilus tube power amp. 8 Class A SET watts using KT88s. Everything is overbuilt to the hilt, including the 44lbs of transformers (rated at 20 watts). 12 guage cold rolled steel. It really needs the pelican case it came in. I'll start listening soon....
