I’d like to start by saying a big thank you to Jon (Berg) and GSP for the loan of a pair of 0.6m CuSat50 RCA cables for evaluation through the excellent loaner scheme at the end of last year. I was actually looking for a pair of Lautus but Jon suggested trying the CuSats, unless I needed additional length, thereby saving a few quid should I like them. Twelve months earlier, I’d invested in a Lautus USB cable and really liked what I heard, having bought ‘blind’. However, when I was thinking about ‘upgrading’ interconnects between DAC and head amp, I decided to audition because, to be honest, I wasn’t expecting to hear as much, if any, difference, as I'd heard with the introduction of the Lautus – the law of diminishing returns and they’re only cables, right? To my surprise, the uplift in sound felt greater than with the Lautus. There was yet more separation, air, lightness and delicacy. Added to that I felt there was more textural information – revealed by further cleaning up of the signal path? The Lautus/CuSat combo really complement the new DAC/head amp combination I’ve moved to over the last couple of years, which delivers a slightly understated sound in an effortless manner, with the GSP cables sprinkling a little bit of magic on top. The new DAC, head amp and GSP cables have been my Xmas present to myself over the last couple of years. This year, funds allowing, I’m hoping I can persuade the guys at GSP to run me up a Deze cable with Mr Speakers connectors to spruce up another link in the signal path. |
