Re: TIS Loan 70cm
Hi Doc,
The TIS which I currently have on demo is this the Mk2 version?? Only just noticed that on your price list it mentions Mk2, what were the changes out of interest to the Mk1.
lovely looking beast of a cable BTW .

Re: TIS Loan 70cm
Mk 1 is a made from raw cables I can no longer get. Mk2 is a redesign. IMO Mk2 is better, but not a lot in it.
Review please, good - bad - or indifferent.

Will be in shortly, want to swap back to my old cables first.
Re: TIS Loan 70cm
Review is in.
Looking to upgrade my 'analogue side' interconnect sometime in the near future so thought I'd take Doc up on his kind 70cm TIS 'Loan offer'.
Listened to a few albums whilst warming the system up to listening temp (ouch audiophile bollocks spoke already
but for crucial comparison between my old cable (Mark Grant GH1500HD) and the very smart looking NVA 70cm TIS connector, I chose the rather fantastic Laura Marling - Semper Femina (released October 2017) Vinyl LP.
In particular the first three tracks…. Soothing / The Valley / Wild Fire.
The TIS doesn't take long to show it's differences between my usual cable, there's a sense of the music being slightly louder (I check the volume) but I'm certain I haven't messed with the volume? (I haven't) But on the second and then third track I can hear that its certain elements of the track(s) that are easier to perceive. Vocals are a little more forward in the presentation, not overpowering or bright just better, I can hear the lyrics with more clarity (ever had that "Ohh that's what she's been Singing" moment) one or two words really pop out as new to me.
NVA TIS
Mark Grant G1500HD (with special order KLE Innovations Copper Harmony plugs)
Musically there's little different in its overall presentation than my usual Mark Grant but I'm finding with more listening that the rhythm track (background) is also easier to pick up and follow. Violins or acoustic guitar….. the pluck of a double bass also comes in with a sharper front edge (Transient?) which I like.
Altogether a more focused listen, I do like being able to see 'behind' the singer to instruments being played and the extra information in the vocals is quite welcome. I may well measure up and buy a short run between Phone amp and my P50sa Pre.
Thanks for the loan Doc
