Stealth Hyperphono vs. Silver Audio Silver Breeze?


Has anyone ever done a side by side shootout of these two?

I've used the Silver Breeze for 6 or 7 years - great cable.
The Hyperphono would have to be extraordinary to justify its $3800 price tag (vs ~$650 for the Silver Audio).

IMO you'd have to have completely exhausted all other phono upgrade options to justify such an expenditure. YMMV.

....if the SB has only increased to $650 after all these years, it continues to be the runaway steal value for phono cables. But with this said, the Hyperphono is altogether at a completely different performance level.

Yes, according to the website, the Silver Breeze still sells for $630/$660 depending on whether you want the straight or angled DIN.
Ironically, due to the change in fortune of the Aussie $ vs the US$, that's a lot less than I paid 9 years ago! Apparently it's also been improved - "the shielding system has recently been redesigned to improve its anti-microphonic properties" and now comes with WBT Nextgen solid silver RCA's.

Good to hear that the Hyperphono justifies it's cost in a top level system.
