Black Cat Silverstar BNC to BNC

I'm a fan of Black Cat / Stereovox, but since switching to AES, I've not used a regular SPDIF cable for a while. However, BNC is always going to be preferred to RCA. This supposes your equipment has BNCs, obviously! Otherwise, things can get very murky in SPDIF cable land, cause what you're really trying to do is find the best match of impedance between your source and receiving equipment, and this is a lot of what leads to subjective ranking of different cables that are all over the map.

FWIW, I preferred the old Stereovox HDXV to the Silverstar MK1, and I preferred a (no longer available) Analog Research Technology UByte 1 (5/6ft or so coax) to the HDXV. This cable was so long in order to minimize signal reflections in most applications. Sounded really good to me. In more recent times, I liked a Neotech NEVD-2001 with WBTs from takefiveaudio in Canada.

Did you come to a conclusion with your Black Cable comparison?

I have been using the Silver Star MkII for a month or so and its the best digital cable I have ever used.

HOWEVER!!!! 

I took a risk and bought the TRON MK3 and installed it today. Currently have about 7 hours on it. Will report back with impressions soon vs the SSMKII. Was it worth the big upgrade price??? We shall see

Both of these cables are clearly cut from the same cloth as Wig has stated. No question about that. At first I thought Chris had sent me a SSMK2 with different jacket. I admit I was concerned.
WIth just 7 hours, things changed quite a bit. Its like comparing a 5 year old wine to a 25 year old wine from the same winery. If you want your digital to sound more like music this is the type of cable Chris is designing, he is not trying to make special effects. While the soundstage on the SS was very good, the Tron is mesmerizing. It will only get better.

@ aniwolfe

Thanks for the update and I am certain it is going to get even better! Chris has got musicality mastered...

Question re: BC Silverstar Mk2 (or any digital cable for that matter): I have read that cable length is important-- that you use at least a 1.5m cable to prevent bounce-back reflections.  In email back and forth to Chris (maker of BC cables) he said that there shouldn't be a problem, but I figured I'd ask the forum here since you all seem experienced in various cable types.  I'd prefer to use 1m, less cable mess and less cost!  Thanks in advance for replying.
