Boa2 I have a question? Why don't you recommend the Flavor 4? Thanks!I've done comparisons in at least three different systems with the Flavor 4 on the source. An Electraglide & a Michael Wolff PC both made the highs much more open and transparent. Each time we went back to the Flavor 4, the snare drum sounded muffled, and the music became less engaging. The owner of the cord was the first to say so, and he used the word "lifeless".
Everyone hears differently, and the sound varies so much from one system to another. These are my experiences, and yours may be entirely different if you heard the same cord on your player.
Hope that answers your question.
Best,
Howard
