Description

After swapping my present speaker cable, i.e. Chord Carnival Silver Plus with Van den Hul the Goldwater, i can hear a warmer sound stage and more comfortable listening for hours.

Upgraded integrated amplifier from Cambridge Audio 540A to Krell KAV-400xi, pairing with Sonus Faber Concertino Domus speaker.

I can hear a greater depth, detail and transparency of sound than before. Hope the sound will improve further after break in.

So pleased that i can enjoy all my music collection again.

Here's my current setup

Let me know your thought.

Cheers

When I listened to the Primare CD21 Player at my dealer's, the CDP was hooked to the I21 and Sonus Faber floorstanders. I don't know the model but they were about $3,600/pair.
I thought the combo sounded very nice, to the point that I always check out the classifieds for Sonus Fabers. They're on my short list if I ever get rid of my Martin Logans.
