I own the Indra, NBS black label (expensive, top of the line), and recently tried the Harmonic technology cyberlights. IMS, the NBS was not even close to the other two. I prefer the Indras over the cyberlights from preamp to amp, the other way around from source to preamp.

Components:
SAP J2001 (horn hybrids) biamped with 45 tube monoblocks and EMMlab CDSD/DCC2 as digital source.

rgwrjs, your rigs doesn't require high out cables.
thiner cables will genereally sound better for high efficiency system. The indra will sound more refine in this case. However, for the low efficiency system, it will tend to sound dry and thin and lack of punch. In this case, it is not about refinement only. The current passing through would be more demanding since the input of amp is less sensitive here.

I am sorry I was not clear. I use the cyberlight between the DCC2 and my preamp. I use the optical cabling between the CDSD and the DCC2.

Thanks...interesting u use a separate preamp: what is it? Do u not like DCC2 as a preamp? I am considering an pwr amp upgrade (I use the DCC2 as a preamp as well)as well a possible cable upgrade (well at least all the excitement about both cyberlights and indra entices me to investigate).
