Finally, I can honestly say that the GAC-3 is the best sounding cable I had in my system. The GAC-2 and GAC4 sounds slightly more dynamic, however, have less resolution and could sound slightly edgy/sharp in the midrange in comparison. I replaced my Gotham power cable with an unshielded Soundstring power cord, Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669976067539551920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395121002488101245.post-48782146282690719692022-12-24T21:36:30.581-05:002022-12-24T21:36:30.581-05:00Thx again for the continual info!

From the start, it sounded superior to the GAC-4 XLR with the same connectors that I had in my system. The hardness in the upper midrange is now gone. Saxophones now sound pleasant. The sound is more lush and full and enjoyable.

I say forget it and just stay with the GAC-2.

I forgot to mention that I did try Gotham GAC-4/1 Interconnect Cable with Amphenol ACPR Die-Cast, Gold Plated RCA Connectors - Directional from WBC on Amazon. Even after the proper break-in time they sounded bright. Unlistenable to me. Maybe the floating grounding or the RCA connectors were the culprit? Redco makes my cables non-directional and I have them using Canare Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669976067539551920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395121002488101245.post-12273140065436183922022-06-20T04:29:48.752-04:002022-06-20T04:29:48.752-04:00Thank you so much for that pdf referral.

The latter is the only one in the Ultra Pro series that I have tried, as it is cheaper. Many HK audiophiles favor GAC-4 Ultra Pro but I don't like its bulk as I have a natural aversion to thick cables.
