What Harmonic tech cables should I used for CD


Is the magic digital one the best option or should I go for
Magic link IC? I dont used separates just an AVR receiver and a DVD player for all applications. I know that for DVD-audio the best way to go is RCA IC for the pre-outs. But for CD dont know if RCA analog cable is a good option or if I should go with digital transfer like the Magic Digital One. Is Magic digital one a good cable for home thater aplications too(dts Dolby Digital)? I now have pro-9 speaker cable to conect a Vienna acoustics Mozarts speakers from Denon gear. If someone Knows this products can help? Thanks.

Mr Cosmic, could you expand on your cardas/ truthlink comparison a bit...i had hoped the truth links would have done better than you suggest.

I have a pair on my CD and between the amp and pre. I've also used pro silway II in both places. I prefered the silways between the amp and pre but since in needed a 20 ft run a good deal on the truthlink drove me that way. on the CDP though the silways added some detail, tightened up the bass nicely, didn't adversely affect the mids but added a nasty high end glare that far outweighed the added benifits. CDP is an ARC CD-2, amps are VTL 185 monos with a VTL 5.5 pre
I won't say the truthlinks are "doing good" in my system since i haven't tried a lot of cables, i just know they are reasonably good in most areas and don't really know any better. The truthlinks stood up well to some Transparent Supers (though the mids with the supers were outstandin, too bad the top and bottm failed) that the dealer was trying to sell me for about 10 times per foot higher cost than i paid for the HTs so i bought them and quit looking. i should maybe look into something better but man i dread having to sort through all thats out there
If you want a cable verging on bright the pro silways may be the ticket for you. They are a combination of copper for the mids and low and silvers for the top end air and sparkle. There was a lot to like about them between tha amp and pre, except for the price for a 20 ft pair. and i still use them on the analog componants (tuner and TT) with your cdp they may not have the glare problem they had with mine. One word of warning, you will not regain a lost octave by using a cable between your amp and pre when the information in that octave was lost on it's travels between the source and pre...you need to fix that problem where it starts.
