KRELL CAST MMF CABLES/CONNECTIONS


Is Krell CAST MMF cable connection better than balanced and/or single ended connections? I have never done a comparison. Krell claims the CAST connection with their MMF cable (made for Krell by Nordost) is superior to balanced and single ended.
Martin Colloms recently reviewed the Krell Evo 402 and 402e in HiFi Critic. His review was extremely positive, however, he felt both single ended and balanced connections performed sightly better than CAST. Most other reviewers have written very favorably about CAST.
Is CAST truly better than balanced and single connections, as claimed by Krell? WHICH IS THE BEST SOUNDING CONNECTION?

I have an evo 707, 600 amps, and had a 505. Even at 1 meter between the 505 and 707, CAST is noticeably better than Cardas Golden Reference balanced.
I should note that I am using Nordost MMF. It is also much better than single ended Nordost red dawn. For the connection between the 707 and 600's, CAST is MUCH better than equal length balanced Audioquest Columbia.
