Very nice system Rau, I am eager to hear your impressions. What cable did you replace?Fed Ex just delivered my QR can't wait till it's broke in .
I was using a Sigma NR V2 but going direct to wall I wanted to upgrade. Sound signature at this time is not best but part of break in process. I will post in a couple weeks againVery nice system Rau, I am eager to hear your impressions. What cable did you replace?
It's a little crowded back there
I setup the risers last night for the QR , I think I'll be very happy with cable . Right now it's sound keeps changing but when it's good its excellent. Better bottom end for sure and sound stage left to right is stronger .It's a little crowded back there
Yes it matters. Cable spacers and crossing at right angjes.
There is no sliding portion on the QR or QR-s cables that I am aware of and my QR-s that I purchased earlier this year certainly does not have it.I'm curious what the contribution is of the sliding filter (is that the correct term). On other cable systems where there is a sliding EMI filter, the filter location is critical to the final sound. Is this the case for the Omega QR as well?
The Shunyata QR is the best power cable I ever installed on my amplifier direct to wall .
The Alpha and Sigma USB cables both have silver conductors. I’d love to hear the backstory behind the move to silver.
I find that very interesting as well and am looking for a way to demo a pair of Omega XLR cables. The word is that it is OCC purest silver and the most expensive conductor they've ever used. This after a couple years of pushing the envelope I am told as far as they could with their otherThought I'd resuscitate this thread since the Omega speaker and interconnects are now out. I'd like to see any additional comments from Omega power and signal cable owners (I don't care how scientific, or what others they've compared).
I was excited after my Sigma 2s burned in, especially the copper-silver hybrid (VTX-Ag) in the speaker cable. What was interesting to me then, and now, was that Caelin didn't like silver in the interconnects, and that conductor remained VTX. Yet now, the Omega interconnect conductor is silver: OMEGA XLR - Shunyata Research.
I would audition the Albedo Silver Cables before making a final decision! I’m a long time Sigma and Omega owner. The Albedo mono crystal are superior cables IMO! We just finished a demo Albedo Metamorphosis Signature. We are purchasing them!
