I have been fan of Siltech for many years. Used to own the entire G5 Compass Lake suite. These cables were very fast and revealing, a benchmark at the time. However, I found the Pure Note Titanium to excel over the G5 for far less money. The build quality of the Titanium is second to none. All metal jackets and Xhadow plugs, the best available. Whatever you decide both cables are great choices.
