Hi friends !
Got the Portcity OS 212 by a winter night here in Casablanca )) I didn't fire it up yet (need a speaker cable), so I'm just going to talk a bit about the first impressions from an aesthetic side. It's solid, it has snare like respone, I mean that a light knock gives off a woody response, a bit like the respone of a muted acoustic guitar. The cab is relatively light! I mean it's heavy to the degree that it oozes solidity, yet it's not a dead mule to move! Had no desire to haul a 50 or even a 30 kg cab, so this one is really a relief! Upon first look you can tell it's a high quality cab! The tolex is awesome, It's built with great attention to detail. Caught my self turning around it, watching it from different angles and touching it slowly the way a monkey would act with a sleepy top model
The first pic was taken by night, you can see the plastic bag still on, then I took a couple other daylight pics in the morning.
Now I need a speaker cable, I thought I would take the opportunity of the NCD and ask what are your favorite speaker cables ? Klotz, Evidence, Orange and Vovox are on my reach, I hear the shorter the cable is, the better! I don't want to start a debate about whether speaker cables have big noticebable tonal benefits, but I believe firmly that a cable with great soldering job, thick pure copper wire and high quality connectors is worth the price! I just need something sturdy, tough and built to last.
Now I can go back and keep staring at this beauty
