Restock, thanks for making that point earlier. I was wondering the same thing-- general recommendations vs Shindo-specific. I've also gotten 2 direct emails from audiogon dealers smelling blood in the water wanting to sell me their cables. Ill chalk it up to the economy making everyone nuts.
I believe both Aud 23 and Shindo brands are a silver/copper mix, FWIW. In the past, any pure silver cabling I had in my system tended on the bright and lean side, though have not tried silver cables with Shindo. Ultimate Cables, who advertise here on the gon, make a pure silver/copper mix at prices that make you look twice. I started another thread here about those cables specifically, but only got 2 responses. Anyone experience those or other decently priced hybrids?
I may be asking too broad a question, as I realize the answer is largely contingent on the sonic nature of the source and output components -- in my case digital in and class D out; Shindo gear is all tubed. But Shindo gear plays by its own rules (ie sounding best with it's funky stock cord and placed on wood on its own feet) hence the cause for my question. Just trying to make an educated guess with the Shindo element in the mix.
