Consider the Silversmith's. They are warmer than Nordost and just as fast. They are less polite than Tara Labs with more dynamics. More open and transparent than Cardas and not as warm and fuzzy. Very 'neutral" and well balanced thruout all frequencies. If it has a fault it would be in the upper bass which might be construed as slightly lean in comparison to other cables (I did not feel there was any problem in this area in the context of my system). What sold me on these cables was that I forgot about them and just enjoyed listening to music. The other cables always had something that made you notice them. Check out the website. Unfortunately you can't purchase any cables until owner returns from the Middle East (he was recalled to the Navy).
Have you found cable Nirvana? Tell me about it.
Have you found cable Nirvana? I am not talking about just interconnects, but speaker cables and power cables as well. I am interested in hearing what cables are giving you this Nirvana state of being. I am considering changing out cables and I want to hear some actual real world solutions for hi-end systems. Cables that personally interest me are:
Nordost Valhalla
AZ Silver Reference II
Audience 24
Jena Labs (not sure name of line)
Virtual Dynamics Nite
Currently I use Nordost Quatrofil XLR. I can now go with SE RCA cables.
I am open to any and all opinions. I want some ideas, and to hear any comparisons that you have done.
Whatever cables you love, please talk about their merits and the equipment you are using them with.
Thanks,
KF
