Van Den Hul "ORCHID" : 600euro/1.2m (pair with WBT Next Gen Cu). One of the best shields for digital.
My speaker cable is 3m (straight from Lowther to amp) VDH "INSPIRATION"
I'm also in SET/FR Horns & poted RIAA like you.
The "Orchid" is dynamic, detailed, with full body & excellent flow. It is not smooth like the carbon "Second" but neither etched like most silver ICs, while it can keep the resolution of the silver (except the faint feel of the upper top-end air, that is completely unnoticeable when the source is the CDP). The presentation is never laidback, neither forward, but very lively 3D with impact & weight. Also, there is a sense of increased volume compared with solid core silver IC.
Search for the new 3T series of IC. There must be even better.
But been completely new, I'm still waiting to audition the top of the line "MOUNTAIN"
