Speltz anti-ic's vs Nordost QuattroFil

Ignoring the notion of cables being system dependent and sound quality varies with different gears, I would be most grateful if I could get a hand of opinions on which would be better sounding IRRESPECTIVE of cost. Looking for speed, attack, refinement, soundstage etc. and would want to avoid warmth at all cost.

A 1m pair of Speltz anti ic's = $150 (with eichmann bullet)
A 1m pair of Nordost Quatrofil= $600 (used)

Taking cost out of the context, which one would be the best sounding interconnect? In the verge of purchasing one. I'll get the one with most votes. Please help. Thanks.

I've lost my response twice, so I'll keep this short. I use Signal Cable Silver Resolutions for analog and Oritek X-2's for digital. I'm hoping that Jp1208 can answer the debate between silver and copper(Speltz)on analog vs. digital.

Or maybe Plato can answer the silver versus copper, on digital versus analog? Alex(of APL Hi-Fi) got me thinking about it, but I don't think he will see this. Alex may have found silver with a certain RCA that adds no harshness. Also, and I have to compliment Plato on his advice of Signal Cable Silvers with Nuforce, what part, Plato, did your new line conditioner play in eliminating the slight harshness that Signal Cable Silvers have? I have to mention that it is only in comparison to the X-2's that I even heard the slight harshness on analog, and it doesn't interfere with musical enjoyment on analog. I also want to compliment Ori(of Oritek Audio) for his recommendation of X-2's on Alex's 3910 and Signal Cable Silvers for my Linn LP-12 source.

Electroid, can you tell me if you are using them with cd or analog, or both?
