Picked up some Grover SX interconnects based on reading some reviews here.

I guess you do like them!   

[Deton Nation]

I do. I noticed an immediate difference.. improvement over the Blue Jean cable. But thats not hard to do I suppose... hehe.

OK.. I did a little listening on the Merlins, since I fixed them and it seems to me that the Grover SX have done a good job with sibilance. Anyone confirm or deny?

They do reliably reveal more HF info than most other relatively inexpensive wires.

Finally opening up a bit! They seem well balanced, in the beginning favoring the top end a bit. Its difficult to say because I have a lot of changes going on. A few PCs have been inserted. One making the presentation very forward. Took this PC out in favor of 14ga Western Electric with Rhodium on my Preamp. Sounding pretty natural now, everything in balance. Sound clarity is  Very good, beyond what Ive ever had. Nothing is bright or edgy and Im getting nice dynamics too.

Give them 150 hours or more to settle in. (I have them as well).

Wow, talk about a difference in perception....when I first put the SX in I felt were very warm, favoring the low mid to bass range, and over time leveled off to quite an open neutral(with a slight warmish tone) and even tone. This is of course compared with his previous versions, the SC. .
I will eventually be sending in my other two SC.s for upgrade to SX...unless of course he comes out with another 'improved' version.

That is weird! Are you using tubes or solid state for amplification? So far I only have the Grovers running from preamp to SuperBam (Merlin VSM MX) then to Manley Mahi tube monoblocks. I should be getting another set this week which will run Bryston BDA-1 to Preamp.

What about Grovers speaker wire.. how does it compare with something like Reality sp cable or Kimber 8TC.
Not sure if anyone would know but wouldnt hurt to ask.

I have about 35 hours on the Grovers.

[AcidJazz]

Are you using tubes or solid state for amplification?

Both. I go both ways 
I biamp: tubes up top/ SS on the bottom. @320Hz.
Our respective previous cable are different, so naturally we would hear things different things with the SX'es. Plus we have very different systems. 

Never tried the speaker cables...no help there.

[Deton Nation]

I am hearing all sorts of new things with these cables. I think I can hear the angle at which Bob Weir is singing into the mic. I must be crazy!

Grover review in March "Affordable Audiophile." Is this the first official Grover cable review?  I don't remember any previous.
