Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $240.00 from Better Cables Direct

Summary:
I owned a set of TMC cable and was looking to change them out because I wanted and needed a more flexible cable. I also wanted a cable that had better detail. The TMC is the stiffest non-flexible cable I've ever used. It sounds good, but just way too stiff. I read reviews and checked out magazine's recommended component lists. I really wanted to try the Nordost wire, but have you seen the cost of that wire?! I couldn't justify spending that right now. I was also at the same time shopping for new subs. I decide on SVS who were also supporting Better Cables' sub cable with their product. I decided to try Better Cables. The Blue Truth cable is a much thinner cable than the TMC and not as stiff. It is, however, not as flexible as your Monster or Audioquest or any cable with that type of jacket. It was flexible enough for my usage. When I first hooked them up, I immediately noticed a difference in sound. Before with the TMC, the sound was good. The sound with the Blue Truth's was better. I had better bass and better midrange/detail. Oh yeah, I forgot to add that I bought that I also bought the Blue Truth Bi-wire Speaker cable. The Blue Truth looks cool and sounds very good. I'll buy the Nordost later on down the line when I can again afford to splurge on a cable upgrade, but for now The Blue Truth is the cable for me.

Strengths:
Cost, sound, looks

Weaknesses:
a little stiff

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
