With the Venom-X, I can hear much more resolution and layering of spatial information, and improved decay and "vapor trail". Most notably, the presentation is quite a bit more natural and organic.
The stereo image is notably wider, deeper, and more finely resolved and "fleshed out". Also, the "quiet bits" between notes is quieter. 
The cable is very nicely made with beautiful connectors. Here's quick iP13 PM piccie...
More to come as the cable settles, but another "hit" in the line of Venom-X series of cables.  |
Do you plug your EtherREGEN and clock into your power conditioner?
