Your jaw dropping cables


Hi

Did you have any jaw dropping experience with any type of cable? Please refer to the cable and its predecessor (and I'm not referring just to VFM - also expensive ones count).
Thanks

I am bit surprise that the PURIST AUDIO DESIGN where not mentioned.
They are by far my favorite one even when compare to Stealth audio cable....
An another jaw dropping is the TARA LAB THE ONE  power cable !!!!!!PAD: you did not listen to the sound but you share the live event ....  

My one and only jaw dropping experience with cables was when Brian Ackerman of Aaudio put one Stage 3 Kraken power cord to my Pass Labs XP-30 pre amp. Sound stage depth, all the subtle layers of the music were fleshed out, accurate timbre. I had no idea a power cord could do that!
After many brands of cables in my system I find the Mit Shotgun S1 work the best with my Infinity Irs Betas.
I have not dived into the megabuck range of cables (Odin, Zensati, Transparent Opus, Acrolink) but have had considerable experience with not-so-cheap range of cables (aka below $3k). ASI Liveline is one of them, they do something really special in bringing that aliveness to the music but they can get expensive if one would like to wire the whole system with Liveline reference. Mogami is very nice if one is strictly on budget.

There is one manufacturer though who is a sleeper but all his cables are outstanding for the money and much more. The manufacturer is from Germany with a company called Stereo-lux. He doesnt have an website. His name is Heiko Wingender and can be contacted at mail@stereolux.de. He is very well known among tonearm manufacturers because many high end tonearms use his tonearm cable for internal wiring. I have used his tonearm cable and speaker cables, both are phenomenal, I havent been able detect a signature sound of his cables. They just tend to sound neutral and correct. Heiko focusses a lot in designs which keeps signal's time and phase correct. He would not talk about soundstage and such. He uses high quality terminations everywhere. In the end I find it to be a super deal because they cost 1/3rd of a typical liveline cable and sounds as good or sometimes better than liveline. I would say it is more neutral than liveline. It is one of those cables that one can fit and forget about upgrades.
Never owned any of the very expensive cables , but had Kimber, audioquest, transparent, morrow,straight wire, diy white lightning,cardas, analysis plus etc. For me in my modest little system, I find myself sticking with JPS.
