Rsf507, wow!, never heard that from any taralabs cable's, no matter the cost or model, what equipment where you using? , those two model's of cable's you are referring to are system dependent, if I can be any help to you the next time you want to get taralabs cable's, let me know, as a matter of fact, the Taralabs website has cable component matching, a good basis to start from, but in the end, let your ear's be the judge, their is always a taralab's model to fit your needs.
