I know many people will disagree, but having compared many different cables... nordost spm, kimber select, MIT, etc., I find that the Transparent Reference XL is far superior. It is amazingly quiet and controlled. Very expensive but if you have the money, well worth it. The only thing that might compare, from what I hear, is the Purist Audio Dominus.
