Ghost, for $27 I think that sounds like a great deal. I can’t help but think that a high grade glass fiber cable would transmit better than a polymer one. The fracturing issue is another thing. Always tradeoffs.

Hi Mesch...a price of only $27 should definitely allow some experimentation to compare sound quality. Plus, it's through Amazon so returns are pretty painless. A 2" bend radius seems pretty tight to me, way more stress than I've put on mine (I think!). Don't know what the OP needs routing-wise. I'll just point out for the record that kijanki & Jedi were the ones to re-introduce this Unique glass fiber option here. Not sure who in that thread from a couple of years ago "discovered" it...wasn't me. |
I currently have a cheap $7.99 cable from Amazon that I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CANMCM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpag... I decided - what the heck - let’s go all out and purchase an expensive cable to see if anything improves. Just placed an order for the Lifatec Silflex for $76. ($76 is really going all out for me, for a toslink cable...) I plan to do some blind testing with my wife’s help. Let’s see if I can tell any improvement. Going to be running the cables between a Peachtree Nova 220SE and a Bluesound Node. The amp will be driving a pair of B&W CM9S2 speakers. Between the amp and the speakers, I'm running a pair of Signalcable Classics, at $110 a pair. |
