Lo sai bene anche da te che questo discorso può essere rigirato marcando i Cardas come colorati e i Kimber come neutri!
Ogniuno ha la sua.... opinione/esperienza...maturata nel tempo...e nelle prove.
Ma infatti, ogni discorso si può rigirare
, e lo dico senza polemica, perchè ci sono oggetti che possono essere considerati neutri in determinati contesti, mentre possono risultare troppo da una parte o dall'altra in altri.Al di là di abbinamenti e sinergia, esistono poi i gusti personali e gli altrettanto personali obiettivi nella riproduzione musicale.
Pur comprendendo che si tratta nel bene e nel male di una recensione, Soundstage! a tal proposito dice:
Because of the amount of discussion of audio equipment online as well as the ease with which used products can be obtained, audiophiles nowadays understand well the difference between sound that's different and better. Of course, one person's different may be another's better, but that's a discussion for another article. For me, "better" means more complete, a greater sense that the limitations of reproducing music at home are being addressed. Hence, as I compared other cable lines to Cardas Golden Reference, I discovered that absolutes are hard to come by. One trait may be handled better by the Cardas cables, another by some other brand.
For instance, Nordost Valkyrja (interconnects, $2000 per meter pair; speaker cables, $4600 per eight foot pair) illuminates at low listening levels better, and casts a brighter, more vibrant soundstage than Golden Reference, which counters with a richer presentation that I wouldn't characterize as rich by nature. Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval interconnects ($399 per meter pair) and Solo Crystal Oval 8 speaker cables ($870 per eight-foot pair) sound a great deal like Golden Reference, but their presentation is less weighty, which gives the impression that images are less solid and physical. Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II interconnects ($948 per meter pair) and Hologram II speaker cables ($1048 per eight-foot pair) have a similarly all-encompassing sound, and before comparing them to Golden Reference, I would have thought them the equal of the Cardas cables in terms of overall neutrality. However, their sound is, again, lighter and brighter than that of Golden Reference, which doesn't sound dark by any means but seems to cling more faithfully to the idea of absolute neutrality.
What surprised me the most about all of these comparisons was not so much what each different cable told me about the sound of Golden Reference, but what Golden Reference told me about the sound of the other cables. This was due to the fact that the Cardas cables consistently had the least personality. So often audiophiles use cables to tune their systems, but Golden Reference will make this tough going, and may even sound boring to some people's ears. In my system, which is made up of electronics and speakers that are similarly full-range and honest, Golden Reference sounded wonderful.
Lascio a ciascuno la traduzione, comunque è esattamente quello che penso io.
Magari la vera neutralità può essere noiosa per molti, che usano i cavi per avere l'effetto speciale desiderato : uno stage più ampio, luminoso, etc., poi metti un Cardas G.R. che ti sembra più scuro, ma non è che per caso sono altri marchi, specie coi loro cavi più costosi ad essere caratterizzati sul chiaro (vedi il top Kimber in argento che sta provando Roberto) ?
