long i/c run...looking for high end cable

Jon_P: WOW! That is a long run. How much do Valhallas cost at 40-ft? You would need a low cap. balanced cable for best results. I have used Pure Note Epsilons at 20-ft. with good sonic performance.

I concur on the Sonorans. I don't know what all of this personlized byplay is all about but I got 45ft plus runs of sonoran plateau,some biwired, for 7 speakers and 2 subs. After breakin the sound is fantastic. I heard similar setups with MIT Nordost and others and the sound while having some different, and welcome characteristics, is at least comparable. I paid no small price for the cable but it was a fraction of valhalla or mit or others. The cost made sense when compared to my other equipment. Levinson ML 40 Revel studios,subs,embrace,voice,Proceed PMDT dvd/cd, proceed hpa amps and harmonic precision monos.
One guy wondered as I did what would nordost valhalla or spm cost at these lengths and quantities? I would have paid more for the cable than all my equip. combined including the crt projector and faroudja scaler.

I run 19' Nordost Red Dawn BALANCED and have an incredibly quiet noise floor (the Belden 83802 AC lines and Pcs help, too).
