Call me crazy but Mogami 2549 with KLEI Copper Harmony RCA shotgunned (ground lifted on source end) just might be your bet. It is for me...
Modern equivalent of Cardas Golden Cross
I remember, some 20 years ago, auditioning ICs from the Cable Company and settling on the Golden Cross. Back then I could hook up everything with .5 meter cables.
My configuration for the last dozen years requires a mix of 1 and 2 meter parts Now I have a mix of stuff and am wondering if there is something equivalent to the Golden Cross.
