Nordost Silver Shadow! best for the $$$
AES/EBU comparison
Coincident 1M digital, balanced, XLR
has good air, deep soundstage subtle detail with great integration from top to bottom
six nine copper, a bit dark at the top
Stealth Premier Varidig 1M digital, balanced, XLR
nice crisp detail with upper mids and highs, lower mids and bass are more diffused, soundstage is more forward, less deep, doesn't have the same integration from top to bottom
silver, but not bright or sibilant
I'd like to find an AES/EBU that combines the best of both. What do other members use/like?
My system is listed below...thanks, Zig
