"Warm" sounding digital interconncect


Hi folks, I'm selling my Purist Audio Design Dominus AES/EBU digital cable because I think it has less PRaT and sounds less lively (too laid back for my taste) than the Wireworld Gold Starlight SPDIF digital cable. I know, the Wireworld is much cheaper than the PAD, but I like it more. I wonder if you know another digital interconnect that has plenty of PRaT and sounds warm and full throughout the midrange? To me a bit too forward is better than too laid back sound as I'm getting sleepy with a too laid back sound presentation.

Try the Audience or the VD Master. I did not like the VD Night cable.

Happy Listening
I have experience with Kimber KS2020 digital cable. With this cable my original Krell KAV system sound very musical and not laid back. You might want to check it out. You can buy used for around $280. Try it and if you don't like just put it back on Agon - very popular cable indeed.
I'd have to say Virtual Dynamics Master or Revelation.
They're stiff as hell, but bend easily to shape and stay put.
Break / settle in take a long time, but worth the wait.
The music pours through, unforced, naturally warm, dimensional as all get up and slammin bass out the yang-yang.
I guarantee you won't fall asleep !

This guy makes his own cables and they are absolutely fantastic. His cables have to be one of the best kept secrets in the audio. He's got a small shop in San Antonio, TX. I was in the camp that felt cablesmade very little differnce and have felt this way for almost 30years now, until his cables changed my mind.

I ordered a Arcam AVP-700 though him as he was my closest dealer and went to pick it up. He had a set up that consited of a Naim CDP with outboard power supply, Naim pre-amp, Belles amp, Usher speakrs and his intreconnects.

He was explaining to me how he could not find a cable that met his needs so he spent years designing his own. Of course I'm thinking, yeah sure, snake oil. He did a demonstration and swapped out cables with the likes of Nordost, etc. (not familiar with the models, as I said I wasn't a big cable fan)and for the first time I became a believer.

The difference wasn't slight, it was significant and in every case his cables sounded more life like and open.

I told him I was using my DVDP's as sources and complained of poor redbook CD performance. He sent one of his coax cables home with me for a trial run and said to try the digital outputs of my DVDP's into the Arcam and let him know how it turned out.

Tried it and wow! The Arcam just trashed the DVDP's for Redbook playback. Of course I was still thinking, it's digital 1's and 0's, it's the processor not the cable. So I rolled out his cable and replaced it with my Monster and the depth to my sound field disappered and the minute details that made the music so lovely was gone. Don't get me wrong, the Arcam was better than either of my DVDP's, but it was not as good as it was with his cable.

I am in no way affiliated with this guy (BTW, his name is Roger and he's a good dude), but I thought I'd share my experiences. This guys cable made a believer out of me.

Unfortunately I now have to come up with the bucks so I can keep the cable. Not to mention this experience got me back into redbook CD's so I had to put me a Naim CD5i on order. ;-)

Anyhow, just thought I'd let you guys know what I heard.
