Man, I needed to break out a sort of reference playlist this evening and have a listen to these Sundaras tonight! I created this list. There is some excellent work on these albums
I don’t know what has gotten into these Sundaras, but since I put the Kennerton SE cable on it and connected it to the TA-20/SP200 pair to the SP200’s SE output they are sounding fantastic! Not shouty and Bass light as I remembered them. The balanced cable I had on there was a real piece of crap, apparently! Now there is more Bass, more Bass extension, richer mids and smoother highs. And still has that incredible stage and detail. And no EQ. I don’t think I have run these with the preamp configuration until now. Either way, this is wonderful! I always underestimate these cans, and I don’t know why. It’s almost like having a new set!

Brothers in bliss over here! Eveytime I play that CSN album I tell myself go get yourself some more of their stuff and I never follow through. I might have to fix that this weekend with some crate digging
