BMI Whale Elite - Construction?

Yes, they make solid contact and are easy to manipulate, considering their size (they twist so that aligning the plugs is a simple task).

Interesting question. The other questions is if you had two cables to choose from at the same price. The first on rates an A+ for build quality and finish and B+ for sound; the second one B+ for build quality and A+ for sound; which one would you buy??

The Whale is a clear A+ both in sound quality results and construction is very impressive. I should know, I have three including a Cobra.
I had sold my Fatboy and NBS statement on these criterias.
Sugarbrie, what do you own?

topkat: Ive got a FatBoy, but looking for a 3ft PC for amp coming next week (AirTight ATM300 8W SE Triode). Considering looking into Whale given price. What did you have EG on and how did EG and Whale compare in terms of space, harmonics, depth, added energy without losing the above, etc.? I dont want the mids to suffer. Thanks.

Asa-check out my system on Virtual Systems. I have Gryphon Reference Mono 1 amps with Gryphon Elektra preamp. That's what I have the Whales on. The Whale does a heck of a job when it comes to detail and midbass. Not too extended like the EG Fatman or Fatboy. And not too forward like the King Cobra V-1 & V2. I have Proac Response 5 speakers and Marantz Sa-1 sacd player. Plus I have the original Cobra on the line conditioner, but will probably go to a 4th Whale in the near future. The Whale complimented my system nicely without the coloration but keeping it neutral.
