HiFi Audio Equipment Discussion / Re: Neutral Cable Reference I Road Tour
« on: March 16, 2017, 08:27:46 PM »
Thanks to watchdog for the opportunity of trying this Neutral Cable Reference.
Setup use:
Spendor D7, with Hegel DAC and Yamaha AS2100 Amp. Source is computer using JCAT USB card. USB cable that I have JCAT reference, Curious and Acoustic Revive single head.
Impression:
This cable has a very nice build, with the yellow color. Definitely looks better than my others cable. Despite it is solid silver, it is quite a flexible cable and of course doesnt mean you can abuse it, a normal care routing still apply.
This cable has vivid sounding, flesh out tone, details and still retain the control and smoothness aspect. It has a good bass bloom, very nice mid range and top extension that never sounds harsh. I enjoyed it lot on instruments and jazz as it sounds effortless on those genre. Sound stage has a nice width, depth and height. One will be happy to own this cable.
In comparison to rest of other cable that I have:
JCAT reference: Neutral has a slight more forward presentation, with a more slight vivid sounding tone and nice bass bloom. JCAT has more neutral presentation compare to Neutral cable (despite the name) and JCAT has a slight more bite. As you can see,, i used a lot of slight here.
Acoustic Revive USB (single head): AR less details, more laid back and sweeter.
Curious USB cable (based on memory): This cable is all about fun, it has more forward presentation than Neutral, more bass as far as I remembered. Same kind amount of details. Neutral has better refinement on the sounds hence effortless. Neutral feels like in between of Curious and Jcat reference, with a slight towards JCAT.
This is very lovely cable, I am surprise pure silver can sounds like this. For those who is looking at USB cable, this is one the cable that you will need to look out, as it is well balanced cable in term musicality and hifi technical aspect likes detail, soundstage etc.
Cheers
