Virtual Dynamics Testament works great in my system, offering the best detail, timing and smoothness. My 2nd choice would be better cables silver serpent based on its price - performance ratio (40.00) which bested straight wire (175.00) and signal audio.
Digital Cable suggestions
I am interested in experiences of and suggestions for digital cables, specifically coax (RCA). What cables have you compared and your results? I am looking at up to $200 for a cable.
As for the debate about different lengths, please refrain, I'd rather this question not divege onto that path.

I liked my VH Audio cryo Pulsar for smoothness and punch. You should also consider the Atlas Compass in that price range. VH Audio UHF Magazine (for Atlas cables) |
Audiogon member Joemazzaglia (owner of Auricle Audio Design) sells Encore Signature digital IC which he crafts himself. I could not find the current price, but I recall it to be in the $75 range, ridiculously cheap for the quality of sound. I compared to nine other digital IC's a few years back, and could not believe this bargain item reigned supreme. Every system has its own potential, and an excellent IC transmits everything your components can deliver. Listening in many other systems as a member of an audio club has confirmed Joe's digital IC gets the job done, and at a giveaway price. Language is not always able to convey the joy of that special musical experience which great wire conveys. Each of us may prefer something a little different. Luckily, there is outstanding choice in the affordable price range. |
