After trying a LOT of very well respected cables in my system, for me it came down to a choice between NBS Monitor 0 and Purist Dominus, and I have mixed-and-matched them depending on component changes. (They work very well together.) I eventually wound up with a Dominus between my preamp (Lamm) and power amps (Classe), and NBS Monitor 0 digital and speaker cables and source-to-preamp connections. The one Nordost interconnect cable I tried (Quattro Fils) left me pretty unimpressed, but I certainly would be willing to try a more recent and higher end Nordost cable sometime. I am particularly unimpressed by dealer claims that this cable manufacturer whose products he happens to sell has "science" to back up his overpriced product, while that one is a used car salesman. This does a disservice to all of us in this subjective, unscientific hobby, who do it because we love music, not science.
