Thanks to a loan from my local dealer, I am having the opportunity to try the Passion and Obsession line of power and interconnect cables from Echole. I had a full Sunday to start trying them (and still going to have some additional days to fully discover this products) but wanted to post here my initial findings:
1.- I really liked the power cables! A LOT! - comparing them to my reference cables (Siltech and Harmonix), the Echole cables brought a better sound stage recreation, a darker backstage, additional detail, transparency and dynamics - all that! - it is important to mention that I also installed a QB8 Nordost power strip at the same time, I will try it with my reference cable to really isolate the effect of the cables from the power bar.
2.- I liked the IC cables, but here my references (Audio Note and Siltech) were harder to beat, I found little improvements, particularly on additional (and real) body and pace.
I will post additional findings during the week, so far I can say that the Echole line of power ad IC cables are worth considering as top contenders for both implementations, for those with an itch for changing components, maybe here is a route to consider.
