Was using the Esoteric 1394 cable as a stand in.... it sucked.
With the SMR pair back in action, I got the bandwidth, dynamics, resolutions back in spades. Just like all good things, usually one doesn't notice how good it is until it's gone.
Do argento make phono cable (going from tone arm to step-up xformer?)
Argento doesn't not exactly has a phono cable. I am using the Serenity Reference SE from the tonearm to the phonostage. Like you said, more bandwidth, more dynamic and more of everything. It betters the siltech compass phono easily. I sold it and get a bunch of money back. I can't imagine SMR as phono cable.
AFter more than 20 hours burning in, the cryo tubes give a calmer and darker background without altering all the characteristics of the Syren. Musical objects are simply having more spatial cue and separations but yet their inter-articulation and coherence remain intact. A very positive and cost effective upgrade to the Syren.
Compared to Eufrodite, Neo cannot produce the level of layering and solidity which I can feel on a brief 2 weeks' audition of Eufrodite in my system a couple of months ago. That may be part of the findings by Charles who had been very attentive listening to my system.
Charles, please do share more. At this moment, I can only remain status quo without attempting to tilt the tonal balance that I managed to achieved through cables and gears. I see some further improvement can be made on room tuning and that is something I'd need to further draw PT's expertise on.
Thanks for highlighting the point which I totally agree.
Marvel, it's time to change speakers. Where is the Cessaro super horn? You change gears as fast as lightning, buy craze rack without 2nd thought. This is unlike you. The whole community knows for long time your speakers is the bottleneck - it is good for the old standard but for your superb front ends, the bandwidth, transparency, off axis response, dynamic are all limited.
I know Neo so well as Jeff used it for almost 3 years, quite a long time, until he listens to the Horning Eufrodite, then Cessaro.
As far as room acoustics in your case, your friend is a few blocks away. If you know the problems are there, why don't you fix them earlier?

What is your findings?

我為你開個 party , 你幾時有時間呀.
Charles
你有冇唸過問Grey兄借對833推大Horning? 我不能想象咩料！
升級到Heritage 我在計劃中.
聽過 Marvel 大大的系統後, 回味無窮, 我都想問下 Marvel 大大係唔係唔鍾意低頻?
借833 就免了, 我怕會出事.
Charles
不如你開個party, 我第一個報名.
Charles
You find something wrong with Marvel's bass?

你唔好客氣啦, 比個機會我欣賞下你的系統.
Marvel 大大的系統真的另我回味, 它已擁有音響中最重要的元素, 一套 Zanden 的聲音就已經另我回味無窮啦.
它的低頻表現很好.
