i2 Digital X-60, digital cable

Last night I was at Lak's house and took my Sheffield/XLO burn-in CD so that he could asccelerate the procees on his i2Digital cable. We did a brief comparison with his Purist Audio Proteus ($450) and I can tell you--even before broken in, the i2 was sounding cleaner, faster, more neutral. The Purist sounded colored, bass boomy, lacked extension and was veiled in its sound. Oh well, guess some people like it like that...

I took a couple of Lak's cryo'eds Absolute PS's (at Cryoplus) and compared to my Jena Labs cryo'ed Absolute. What a difference! It was like two different power cords! I know Jena is $20 a pound, but the audible superiority was there.

Where does one find out more about this cable - Price, where to buy, etc. ????

Duh... brain fart, sorry. Need more coffee!

I have the i2. It's a good cable. But it's bested by my Synergistic Research Resolution Reference Active BNC. The Synergistic has wider soundstage, more open sound, and a bit more bass extension.

I use it on my DVD player, and it is a nice thin flexible cable (unlike the Synergisitic).

Great cable for the money, an improvement over D-60, but really not up there with the best. In my experience, this cable is surpassed by Nordost Silver Shadow (good); AZ MC2 (better); Siltech G5 (almost best); and the king of them all, Kharma Grand Reference. Nothing beats the Kharma but it is nearly impossible to find used and is very expensive new ($1900). But buy one and forget about replaciung it for a long time, if ever.

I use from Vecteur L4 CDP used as transport to Dodson 217 MKII D with 218 upgrade. Sublime!
