I received the 2m 'Indra' today and installed
it between my preamp and amp. Right out of the box it amazes me
how much better everything sounds. In my 15+ years in high-end
audio, whatever that is, I have never heard an interconnect that
begins to reward the listener with as natural/neutral a sound as
the 'Indra' does. Music just sounds 'RIGHT'. Having had numerous
very good interconnects in my system, among them XLO limited
edition, Valhalla, HMS, AU24 and most recently Concierto 'Violin',
which was by far the best I had heard to date, it is amazing how
much more 'RIGHT' the Indra sounds in my system.
My system consists of:
-
Goldmund Mimesis 29m amp
-
Audio Tekne 'Simona'
preamp
-
Piega p-10 speakers
-
Sony scd-1
-
Concierto 'Violin speaker
cables
-
Concierto 'Violin' power
cords x 2
-
David Elrod 'Statement 1'
power cord
-
Alan Kafton's 'powerwing'
conditioner
-
Echo busters x 2
-
and a dedicated 20amp
circuit
The first thing I noticed when installing the
first 'Indra', between my scd-1 and preamp, was a much clearer
sound with the ability to understand words in the music that was
heretofore unintelligible. Transients were quicker and more
forceful with an almost lifelike rendering of each type of drum or
triangle or wood block. The music was even more magical then what
I had experienced with the 'Violin' i/cs, which I thought could
not be bettered. The instrumental tonality was, as the British put
it, spot on. The instrumental layering that I thought the
'violins' did so well, better then any before them, was bettered
by the 'Indra'. Imaging and soundstaging was also better. I knew
then that what Norm and Bill had told me about the 'Indra' was no
lie. They too had tried many other i/cs, some much more expensive
then those I have had in my system and had come to the same
conclusion. Even my wife, who is not into the music as much as I
am, noticed a significant improvement in the sound after the
addition of the first cable. Now....it's early in the 2m
‘Indras' history with my system, but even at the outset it is
apparent that with the addition of the 2nd 'Indra' the sound has,
once again, been significantly improved......more
later..........Thanks. Dave
