Let me start out by saying I have little experience with this cable. I've owned it for about 3 weeks and have been running it in for about 150-200 hours, but my system has been changing recently. What I can tell you is its the best PC I've tried(MIT z cord I & II, Tara RSC, Delta Labs power pro, BMI Eel & Majik). Huge soundstage, lots of depth, black background, big bottom end, refined but detailed. Not as laid back as Eel, and more transparent. It's frustrating having it on only one component at a time; I can hear the other cables "messing" things up. I'll try the Whale in two other systems and let you know.
