Here is another vote for Ridge Street Audio. I will also add a recommendation for FIM/CRL cabling with the caveat that you can manage to get them wrestled into place. They are very stiff cables but sound excellent.I have tried many cables in my system including Analysis Plus Solo Crystal and Silver Oval, Crystal Clear Master Class, Revelation Audio Lab Prophecy, Gabriel Gold Revelation, Virtual Dynamics Master 'R' series, Signal Cable Silver Resolution, Sonoran Music Note, QED Silver Spiral, and probably more that I am missing.
I have bought many of these cables to compare against the Ridge Street Audio offerings and have always ended up with the RSA's back in my system. My entire system is cabled with either Poiema 3 or Alethias cables. Some of the other cables listed sounded more impressive initially, but to my ears were not as satisfying in the long run musically. The RSA's do everything that one could want from a high end cable without sounding forced or etched. Tight bass, yes; balanced frequency response, yep; inner detail, absolutely; imaging and soundstaging, check; micro and macro dynamics, another yes. The biggest thing that I feel they do correctly is establish the correct relationship between the fundamental and the overtone. None of the other cables I auditioned were able to keep up in this regard. When I was finally able to put my finger on why I liked these cabels so much, and heard perspective properly done, I found I could net settle for cables that could not do it as well. It is like hearing speakers that are phase correct, it is very difficult to go back.
On top of all of this, Robert is a great guy to deal with and he offers a 45 day return policy for his cabling. His products are not inexpensive, but are worth every penny IMO.
