Getting right to the point, the
first impression I had after an upgrade to OneKey SATA cable is “A feeling that
blurred car windows full of dusts after rain and snow are cleaned by spraying
the wash solution and cleansing with wipers.”
I could tell that the sound of
instrument and voice became definitely clearer.
Regardless of the fact that space
for audio is small, the sound which spread widely in the past centered to the
middle creating a presence of stage.
Also, even when lowering the
volume of audio compared to the past, I could hear the sound better.
I am excited how the first
impression after the new installment would change over the passage of time.
2013 is a year when the material
of audio system was changed to aluminum metal.
Although there was definite
enhancement in sound, I felt that the sound was somewhat unclear.
Base was unsatisfactory ….
I was concerned whether I should
switch pre-amp or not.
Then, I heard about the group
purchase of SATA cable.
Since there was a controversy on
SATA cable in other clubs, it was difficult to decide.
As the reviews on other users were
great, I come to participate in this group purchase.
After a thoughtful consideration on
what to change, I decided to change all SATA cables in NAS and network player.
Although it would be better to
sense the difference by changing them one by one, I decided to change them at
once as the weight of NAS and network player are not light and it is burdensome
to tear off the package several times.
After participating in the group
purchase, I received the product directly from the manager while on the
business trip to Seoul with a desire to try them as soon as possible.
I picked up the product myself as
it would be caught in turmoil of holiday season if I were to receive it via
parcel service.
Even a bag where the cables came
in was great.
I started to work on it today as I
arrived at home late at night.
First, I opened the top plate of
NAS.
Then, the cable was arranged as
below.
I replaced the cable.
Black for hardware and purple for
SATA ROM
As it is winter, thermal contract
cable at the end of cable seemed to be stiff and it was difficult to jam it into
NAS. Take caution!
I also replaced the network player
after installing NAS cable.
I thought I took a photo of
installing the network player cable but I must have forgotten about it.
Although I have been listening to
the music for a while, I do not have a keen knowledge on music as I have not
studied about it.
Thus, I mainly listen to pieces of
music familiar to my ears.
I don’t know whether or not it is
because of small system but
I am accustomed to listening to
sonatas or concertos rather than big orchestral works.
Most of the works is by Bach,
Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Liszt, and Brahms.
After the new installation of the
cable, I have listened to whichever music that comes in my mind.
I cannot list them as I don’t know
the title and others of all pieces of music.
I have listened to ‘A letter by a
private’ and ‘When around 30 years old’ in an album called ‘Sing again the
songs by Gwangseok Kim’.
The voice of Gwangseok Kim and
acoustic guitar sound became much clearer than before and it boasted
outstanding presence of stage.
The sound of piano became better,
the sound of violin became better, and sounds of all the other things as well.
If there is an acquaintance who
has participated in this group purchase, I recommend you to try it.
There is a more definite change
when compared to new installation of power cable or connection cable between
devices.
Although there is an assertion
that a cable would not have impact on digital signal but
I would like to acknowledge the
difference made by the cable to certain degree as a result of comparing with general
data transmission speed and error rate of 1394 table that I experienced.
I regret that I could have used
more professional terms to express myself.
It would have been great only if I
had studied in advance.
I usually listen to music in my
workshop.
After all other co-workers get off
the work at night, I darken the lighting of workshop, see the light outside the
window, and listen to all kinds of music for an hour or two.
I am listening to the music even as
I am writing this review.
It seems that the sound became
softer compared to the beginning.
It seems that I am going to stay
at the office a little longer.
Or I might pull an all-nighter.
I am curious to hear about the
impression of others.
