Hi , I agree with Phild and Vikvilkhu . Both the Cardas and JPS are a no brainer. They work especially well with Joule Electra - Merlin combo. I have used this combo for almost a year now and have tried both Cardas , JPS, and Nirvana.` I liked all of them but bought the Nirvana SX. I really do not think I would pass up any of them . You can try all 3 from the Cable Co and pick the one you like best. I did use unshielded, silver ribbons for a short time but I picked up stray radio signals. I am just an end user not a reviewer but my vote does count. I am sure Nirvana thinks so anyway.
