I have the 36 and 37. So far, the best with this combination is the Audioquest Falcon. I don't think it's made any longer, but I've tried the Orchid, Cardas AES/EBU, and the Falcon. The Orchid was too lean and the Cardas was just a little soft in the bass. The Falcon had the detail of the Orchid and was not soft in the bass.

Deluxe, For ST Glass cables: I've tried the Krell "Full Spectrum" and the Straitwire "Stx". But are these true Quartz Glass or just Fiber Optic? They are very small in diameter (1/8")and very flexible (no outer cover, sheathing, etc.) True glass fiber is going to be better than fiber optic, look at what is being reported on toslink. chucker |
Sorry to chime in so late, but I too am running the Levinson No 37/360S combo (feeding a No 32 Preamp). During my trial & error period, I tried the Transparent Reference AES/EBU as well as Better Cables Silver Serpent and a 1/2 dozen or so other cables I can't remember now. I reluctantly borrowed a Nordost Valhalla AES/EBU from my dealer and within a few minutes dialed him up to place an order. Not a cheap date, but the Valhalla removed several veiled layers, improved dynamics, tightened up the bass, dropped the noise floor a ton and improved things in nearly every aspect. That was about 10 years ago and I've never looked back. |
This is the one I like and use KLEI gZero3D SPDIF/Coax IC. Even for digital, it sounds very analogue and organic in character and has been my preference for the last couple of years. |
