Digital Cable Recommendations


All,

I am looking to upgrade from my Nordost Silver Shadow cable. I can do RCA or BNC with adapters. The Silver Shadow plays bigger than its price point, but something is missing. I do prefer a warmer presentation. Greatly appreciate some suggestions!

I’d recommend trying this Acoustic Zen MC2. I got one and it blew me away and does everything well. If it doesn’t blow away your Nordost just turn around and sell it. Best of luck.

I’ll reiterate the Acoustic Zen MC2 I mentioned above is a $660 cable you can get lightly used for only $290.  AZ is known for very natural-sounding cables (I also own their speaker cables and interconnects so I kinda know) and will almost certainly add some flesh on the bones you’re looking for without sacrificing detail.  If you buy it and it doesn’t work out you can surely turn around and sell it at little/no loss, and if it works out you have a high bar for another cable to displace it. Given what I’ve heard, that may take a large investment.  Only bringing this up again because I’m not really sure you need to spend $1k+ to get what you’re looking for.  FWIW.
