It matters what you enjoy. I have tried Tara (all the way to the ZERO line), cardas, DIY models, WireWorld, etc. and I am all in with the Crystal Line. I am gradually moving to the Ultras, which are VERY expensive. What I love about the Crystal Cable line is that you never tire of their sound like I have noticed with other cables. They are always transparent and neutral and more like live music than any cable that I have heard. They do reveal system limitations though, so the better your equipment, the better the sound. The only non-crystal cable I have (and will keep) in my system is a JPS Aluminata cable for my conditioner that all of my components feed into. The Aluminata smooths out any "rough" spots that seem to be an artifact of digital sources. The Crystals open up the sound to such a degree that I needed the Aluminate power cord as a way to smooth out the sound to make it more lush and pleasant to very long-term listening sessions. Even the JPS Kaptivator is a good choice and much less expensive. I used to have a Kaptivator, but found a way to move up to the Aluminata. The Aluminata is better, but he Kaptivator holds its own and you can sometimes find them used for around $750.
