I have to admit one more thing....I have not tried out high end cables, $1000+ category because thats way above my budget but I do understand that there would be amazing products once you go that league...
Digital Cable Like Yamamura : Laidback, Smooth
Hi All,
My quest for the "right" digital cable has been going on for an year now. After trying quite a few digital cable, I have finally found one cable that sounds right, just right. Its a Yamamura Millenium 5000. Its smoooooooth, with a huge open airy soundstage which is laidback....yet its very detailed. Not the ultra detailed stuff but it gives you almost everything that most good digital cables would give out.
I want exactly that....
Unfortunately, Yamamura is no more available new...I am getting one Millenium 3000 which I am not sure would be as good as the 5000...so I am looking at other options as well. Here are few that I am considering:
1. Analysis Plus Digital Oval
2. Au24 Digital cable
3. Sterevox XV2 ( I have heard it...it sounded neutral but a bit dry and lean)
4. Cardas Lightning
5. Yamamura Millenium 3000
Out of all of them, I have only heard XV2.
My requirements in the order of priority
1. It has to have a laidback stage....I cant take anything which is bit forward...
2. It has to be very smooth (no silvers please) with a low noise floor.
3. If it is warm without sacrificing detail...nothing like it !!!!
I have heard that Oval 9 are warm without sacrificing detail...but I dont know if they are forward or not. But if they are not..I would really want to try them because they are inexpensive relatively.
Au24 has decent reviews but any first hand experience would be helpful.
How is Cardas Lightning...again some first hand experience would really help.
If anyone has anything to say about Yamamura 3000...please please please suggest.
