Thanks to the generosity of Bill Epstein, I was able to try out bi-wired runs of 14 awg Royal Cable in my Bottlehead 2A3/ Pi Theater 4 system last night and the initial impressions w/ no break-in is favorable. Nice and clean sound with good spectral balance. Sibilences are natural sounding and piano attack, body and decay are quite nice. Pacing and soundstage portrayal are nice also. I will wait for microdynamic and holographic qualities to emerge as the image is a tiny bit "blurry" but these are new cables with only a couple of hours on them.Compared to my magnet wire "cables" these RC cables sound a bit brighter, maybe a bit harmonically richer but not as transparent at this point; the RC's will stay in the system for quite a while for full appreciation. They definitely ar Musical with a capital "M"
Thanks, Bill!
