Has anyone else tried DNM solid core cable?

I used to have $4,000 Kimber Select speaker cable, $1,800 Kimber Select and $2,000 Nordost Tyr balanced interconnects. Why does this $15 a foot (yes, that's fifteen dollars a foot) cable sound more neutral and like live music than other "high end" cables that I've tried? I listen to live classical/jazz about 5 times a month. The DNM cable brings me closer to that then the others. How about you?

2chnlben: I originally just had the DNM speaker cable. What a huge difference! Deffinately get the speaker cable first. It's a solid core cable.

Greeni: Let me make this perfectly clear: I think that the DNM cable goes as low as it has to. Many cables do something extra and exagerate other frequencies such as the bass which make you think that it goes deeper, or is more extended in the highs. I used to have Nordost Tyr balanced intc's and I think they, as with most other so called "high end" cables, manipulate the sound to impress people in the quick 10 minute demo, but when you really listen to music, you realize that live music doesn't sound like that. Everything with the DNM is more neutral and clean, which is what I want to hear when listening. I don't want to hear what the engineer in the cable factory wants me to hear.

Greeni: Just so you know, I have a 14 foot length of DNM speaker cable going to my speakers. No problems whatsoever. Have fun!
