I'm listening right now to some of Franks Silver Resolution cables in my phono system. Mixed feelings at the moment.
My reason for trying them is that I purchased some Nordost Frey's for my tonearm, brought them home then threw up in my mouth for spending so much money on a cable. I've been sick ever since ;-)
With that feeling of being screwed, I then pursued some less expensive alternatives and the Sonic's seemed like a bargain.
So far with about 15hrs on them, I'm not so sure they are that great. They are definately quiet but I wonder if they are rolling something off. Maybe more break in?
On the other hand the Freys are simply noisey and a little strident. No doubt detailed but just not right in my system. The Frey's have been burned in on a Vidar, but I don't really believe that this has a huge effect on the sound IMO. Burn in on a cable should NOT take a week of steady signal.
There seems to be a LOT of options in the affordable cable market and I'm cetain that some of these will compete with the best (due to the fact that there is no "best")
Along with the Sonic Cable line, I'd also look at DH labs and some of the cable available at Parts Connexion.
I'll let you know if there is any change.
