Hey VJ, I assume a US tour too? I have a 6' YFS v4 data only. Would love to see if there is a difference with about a 3' "reference" version of the YFS cable.  Let me know and thanks so much for putting this together! Brian |

FYI: YFS is passed on to Stanley (Stanray). He has quite a different setup so I am looking forward to his first impressions.
Hopefully this weekend I will find the time to post some closing remarks. These will include my impressions of a 0,7m Supra USB2 cable.
But first: Sinterklaas!
regards, Coen

I promised some closing remarks on my time with the YFS cable. Here they are. I gave the cable some serious XX playlist time to give it a little extra 'burn in'. When I was ready to expose myself to the cooked cable my amplifier's right channel stopped working. This was eventually solved by a simple repair... only after 8 days. Just couldn't find the time to do this with a 'fresh' mood. So now I was completely reset auditorily and had a slightly improved amp to boot. What can I say, it's character of solid and very clear and detailed images remained as did the feel of dynamics, yet it all was dressed in a smoother jacket. But also even though listening to Kate & Peter and other tracks made more sense now, I think it ultimately didn't add up to the enhanced musical experience at my listening seat I hoped for. Lastly just before its departure, the Blaxius arrived. A quick listen did not reveal new things from the YFS, only that the Blaxius digs much deeper into the music which enhances the YFSs strong points. Now I would like to address my sincerest thanks for VJ and of course the cable proprietor who made this educational experience possible.  The cable is now further on its tour and I am looking forward to the impressions of the next in line. And I trust you to keep in mind that my comments are made in the context of my system and listening preferences and to be as unbiased as possible! regards, Coen |
