Ok so here is the results of my audition period with Cabledyne Silver reference Speaker Cables"The Cabledyne speaker cables are beautifuly made. Somewhat thinner than I expected and very user friendly.The SQ was detailed & clean on the hi end,... 
Why do digital cables sound different?
I recently sampled about 5 rca spdif cables, one really stood out head and shoulders above the rest. However the rest were pretty similiar.

OK so I have only about 50 hrs on the new Cabledyne cable and switched back to the MIT 750's and here is what i find. The Cabledyne is cleaner and has more hi end energy. It is not fatiguing, no edge at all. (sometimes more hi end means fatigue) I...

OK Cabledyne order is in. I purchased the silver series. I hope they sound good. I would hate to have to return them. Should have them in a week.

Jazz, absolutely!! UPOCC wire, Jantzen coils and caps, Cardas Solder and solid copper posts etc. The one advantage i have is since these are my speakers i can tailor the sound if it is too hot on the high end or mids. etc.

Timrhu, yes I wired the speakers with OFC wire and Jantzen caps etc. JC: When I say forward, I mean that the midrange sounded "louder and not clean" which gave it a more forward presence. When I demoed my friends QED Genesis silver it was smooth. ...

JMC,I am currently using Music Hose 750. It is too forward sounding and a tad bright and not as clear/clean as a a QED Silver Genesis that I demoed in my system. The MH is quite old by todays standards. I am looking for more laid back smoother and...

Thanks for the recommendations. Some of the companies I am not familiar with. I agree that they don't make the wire due to tooling costs, but some of the wire construction, shapes are unique. I guess the only way to find out is to try it. :)

It's now Indy Labs. From what I remember they don't mod the 4004 only because they are onto newer stuff now. You pretty much nailed the discussion on the head regarding the new/old and $$. It came down to some people saying, if you are going to sp...

The speakers are my own build, Hybrid open baffles around 88db, 3 way design (doesn't tell you much, I know :(It seems that most people are saying that a modded DNA will outperform a Aragon. In other circles it was suggested that I look at somethi...

Getting back to Jed's comment though, would anyone want to venture if the SMC is/should be better than a 4004 mk II?
