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

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!

Yup ! One tweak at a time  , How can you tell what is truly going on with adding PCs to the mix.  .  :rofl:enjoy your cables

I should spread the love out to the Western Electrics too then! No biggie.

It's worth noting that you can twist his arm gently; 50$ for everytime he upgrades (you send him the old, he sends you the new) Given that he's determined to make better and better, this is an interesting path to follow. I've done this three times already.

Did you notice a difference between the SC and the SX?

[shep]

Absolutely. From memory...the SX is smoother, more open, more extended. I didn't have the SC very long though, since Grover announced the SX after maybe a month, so I sent it back. I'm waiting (endlessly) for a power cable he made for me. He says he's inundated with work. More power to him.

Im waiting for 1m SX for my source. Hopefully this week. I bet That review in AA gave him a huge burst of work! I mentioned that he can use some of the money for strippers to entertain him while he builds cables. I wonder if he will take my advice

Anyone notice any stridency or high end grit during the break in. I notice a leading edge breakup sound on male voices (texture of voice??). It could be the recording, not sure.

Wow $1199 a meter (Silkworm +). Its the price of a component. I guess cables are a component... heh.
I am putting the Grover SX on tubes so I will let you know. I love an organic sound though.. hopefully they dont come across analytical.

Hey Mike, have you ever heard a Grover power cord in your travels? I just bought a 2+year old Silkworm IC at Mike's Rave for $450 and while I have no regrets, I sure would have liked to have heard a Grover IC for less than 1/2 that price. While I love the ribbon construction and the aluminum/carbon nickel implementation, my highly dynamic system requires warmth, a Silkworm strength. I just bought a Mhdt Havana Dac for further warmth and I'm looking for an affordable power cord for it. Maybe a Grover pc? 

Cheers,
Robin

I would give the Pangea 9ga try. I put one one my Classe Twenty-five and found it added some warmth compared to the signal Cable PC I was using, No it's not a JPS cable, but that the heck, it was only $65! If you order it via Amazon instead of direct from Audio Advisor they even ship it for free,

And AA has a 30 return policy, so if it doesn't float your boat they will take it back and all it will cost you is the return shipping. My only warning is to order a cable a little longer than you think you will need because this cable requires a pretty big turning radius. Like I said it's not the best cable you can get, but it ius a heel of a lot for what you are paying.

The Pangea 9 may work well on some components but my experience with two different DACs says that's not the place for it.   I felt the sound lost body and depth.   When we tried in on Shane's G2G a few weeks ago, we could have sworn the volume had been turned down.

After the DAC comparison, we did the Pangea swap.  I could have put it on the Butler amp if I moved the amp... the DAC was the easiest swap that required only a couple seconds to plug and unplug with the current power cord in use, a JPS Labs Digital AC.  No, this was far from a scientific comparison.  But it didn't take double blind testing to hear the impact of swapping the cords.  The Pangea was god awful and just destroyed the music when inserted.  None of us wanted to even bother listening or putting it in other situations after only a few minutes of listening to it.  Out it came and the music came back to life.
