calvinj, you do not need to get frustrated, The two with Ism on board is a good cable, however, There is NOTHING that High- Fidelity cables makes that even come close to the performance of the legendary Zero Gold interconnects and Omega Gold speaker cables, cobalt power cord that I am listening to at this very moment, It is the most natural sound on MY system I have EVER heard in my life, bar none!, and YES, I have listened to the high-fidelity cables, just another flavor of the month with NO significant meaning behind them!, Imagine, Tara Labs also has two new models of cables above mine, I suggest you read Michael freamer's review of the new second from the top Tara Labs Evolution Zero interconnects and Matching Evolution Omega speaker cables coming in the october issue of Stereophile magazine, Guess the conclusion of the review?
