I have gotten the chance to run these a couple of times, once in an outdoor, full open setting and once last night in a bar setting. Both times I ran:
MG200s->AM Hyper Conductor->MP-2->AM Hyper Conductor->Mod SBM1->D100
I did not run a side by side comparison to any other cables, so I am basing my statements on the sound that I was used to hearing from my Canare Starquads and Zaollas that I owned prior.
The Hyper Conductors are very well defined. The first thing that I hear is a marked improvement over the bass response. Just seems that I am capturing more of a full, but not muddied bass response. This is especially true of the club setting, where in the past, if the bass was thumping, the tape would reflect that, but it would be very muddled at times, like I was listening to the bass under a blanket so to speak. The hyper conductors definitely help to add a definition level to the bass that I am not used to from this club.
The second thing that I noticed is that the high end is very smooth, whereas the zaolla's definitely captured the high end well, the sound tended to get a bit brittle at the upper levels, but these cables are definitely smoother in that range, still capturing the detail, but smoother.
The third thing, well, I have harped on this in the pics thread, but these things are small, not heavy, and easy to deal with. Just ask Jason B who I continually joke with as he rolls up his 2 ft spool of spellcasters while I put my coiled 15 ft xlrs into a single crown royal bag.
. I am a space conscious kind of guy when it comes to taping....so this is a huge bonus to me.
So all of that being said, I can already hear the naysayers, "you are just hearing those things because you paid for the cables." To that, I say maybe.....I have never been fully convinced that my ears dont "convince" me to hear things that may not necessarily be there. Add that to the fact that what I am hearing is subtle, I dont think that the cables are going to make your rig sound 100 times better, but I think that what I do see is that they do help refine the sound. While I have done the progression with my rig from canare->zaolla->hyper conductor, I am having a harder and harder time convincing myself that I am just hearing things, and I do believe that there is a difference.
Oh yeah, and the white color...pretty cool...
