sae91 Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Acrolink/Esoteric 7N-PC9700 is out. Anyone got a hold on this yet? http://www.esoteric.jp/products/esoteric/7npc9700/indexe.html
cayinist Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 I wonder if this pic means it's more flexible that its predecessors?
Guest planet2012 Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Heard it's on our shores already. X audio is selling it?
Eric Teh Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Go holiday in Tokyo and buy a couple home. No need lah.
sae91 Posted August 18, 2017 Author Posted August 18, 2017 X audio is selling it? Seems like it'll only be available in Sep according to X in their FB.

Eric Teh Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 hey guys, did a read in the web on Acrolink interconnect cable, 7N-DA2090 and has pretty good reviews. anyone using or heard of this cable? would like to hear your feedback... many thanks in advance. The 7N-DA2090 Speciale probably sits just below the Mexcel range. It's a highly saturated and dense sounding cable with explosive dynamics. Very different from most of the other cables in the Acrolink range. You don't mention whether you are looking at RCA or XLR. For XLR, I find the Mexcel 3300 far more refined. RCA, the next model to look out for (if you want a refined / even handed approach) would be the Mexcel 2500
C130 Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 hi watchdog, thanks for your feedback. i am actually looking at XLR. just started hearing Acrolink and yes, find it 'refined'. nice.... would be keen to hear the Mexcel 2500 or 3300. shall hear what nice surprise it brings..... hahaa
Eric Teh Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 The Mexcel 2500 is also available also in XLR (it's a twister pair cable). I am guessing a bit here since my 2500 is RCA, but the 3300 is more even handed while the 2500 is more musical and has that bit of extra push. Tonality wise, the 2090 and 2080 are quite similar if that helps. Top drawer XLR model would be the 6300 2
C130 Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 thanks for the additional information, watchdog. appreciate it.... would be great if able to hear the diff between 6300 and 2090. a pretty 'big' price diff between them.... hmm....
ohlins Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 the poles did a comparison .... http://www.highfidelity.pl/@main-474&lang=en i'm using 2 sets of 2090 XLR .... upgraded from 2070 and 5000.... someone i know tried both the 2090 and 6300, he bought the 2090 ... 2
C130 Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 hi ohlins... glad to hear from an user of 2090. I suppose the cables have put a bigger smile on your face...hahaa thanks for the link to the article... a good read and a 'motivated' one for me. whoa.... surprised to know one took the 2090 over the top 6300. must have been a 'long battle' session.... 1

I got a pair of 2090 in XLR, as per the review, i am indeed 'completely satisfied'. ;D Now wondering what would be the change if to change all cables to Acrolink....
C130 Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 next "poison" is acrolink power cord .... hahaa... thanks for the 'poison'. Curious to hear their speaker cables though..... ;D
Eric Teh Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 I have the Anniversario S4000 speaker cables on hand. I'm overseas now but I'll post back my impressions by Christmas.

C130 Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 to all who are using or have used Acrolink cables, appreciate all of your comments/review on the power cord, interconnect and speaker cables. many thanks in advance.... ;)
blue_starfish Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 My own experience is I got best results when using the same family of signal cables end to end from source to speakers. I got very consistent performance when doing so, which made it easy to tune the room and components to match. With powercords, I got the opposite experience. Different brands on different components gave better overall results than I brand across the board. Applies to Acrolink Mexcel PC too. 1 was good, 2 was better, 3 became overwhelming. Put your best cord to feed the distributor, is the easiest way to influence overall sound with character of the feeder cable.
