ok, so i know nickspicks was/is writing a review, but i thought id give my input after running them for a few weeks and about 6-7 shows
so here goes:
after running audio magic xstreams for 6 solid years, i have something decent to compare them too
first off, the bass is soo good and punchy, it has a sound of its own thru the 480's and the v3, sounds really different from the xstreams, the xstreams were a bit 'thinner' and maybe a bit more crisp in the high end, but these have GREAT highs/mids/lows IMO, the bass is tight and more present in the mix than im used to w/ the xstremas also
a great soundstage too, really wide and open doing hypers/DIN, great imaging and an overall 'smooth blanket' that i really like so far, and these prolly still only have 80 hrs on them, cant wait till they get really burnind in
the am xstreams are a great product, dont get me wrong, but since the raw cable of the bumblebee's looks almost identical to audio magic's hyperconductors, i bet theyre sound is similar to, and theyre a step above the xstreams
so fwiw, i highly recomend these cables, and they were built w/ the utmost quality products and very reliable looking solder joints
so for anyone who wants to spend some $$ on some nice silver clad mic cables and wants them custom done, i would say marc is your man!
thanks again marc,
bean
