Please note that ST cables take time to settle in(300hrs. I have tried 5 different types of ST cables and from the stock standard(one's that came with the emm labs gear-orange/black/blue/red), the Audioquest(stereophile recc.), AT&T(brand)and Aural Symphonics very first model that they all have a 'noticeable' different sound/presentation. The AS is so directional based for performance, that there is aChalk & Cheese difference(imaging crumbles)if it is the wrong way around. Not only changing the data cable gave you the most difference but even the clock cables changed the presentation smoothness. At the end of it all it comes down to personal preference.
It would be good for Emm to review their judgement if they could do a re-trial. But as Jon (Jtinn) says let's not get pulled in by other manufacturers who base their cost not on actuals(materials/labour and a bit of R&D time), but on who are it's potential users- which could be expensive!
