I have 1/2 meter ones and there dead quite and very nutual sounding like there not there.
I had older Tera Labs and seemed to not sound quite as good never really put my finger on why also they were more noisey but they were like ten years old
so there newer ones might be much better
Dear friend: I have 3 TT with 3 tonearms each one in my audio system. I use the silver version of Harmonic Technologies, Kimber Kable and Analysis Plus, I also use Cardas Golden Reference and Wireworld Gold Eclipse III. All these phono cables are exelent cables. If I have to choose on its, I vote for the Analysis Plus. Dead neutral.
Best regards.

I've been trying a number of different phono cable. I have a Kontrapunt A cartride, jelco LMT tonearm and a Sonagraph SG-3 turntable(modified Sota comet). Which is the weakest link in my system. Downstream I have a Thor MC phono stage, C-J Premier 16 pre and Premier 11A amp.
I started out with the Cardas Neutral Reference and for the price they were exceptional, detailed and open but not as much as I sought. Went on to the XLO 3A/2 and Kimber H-TAK and found that they gave great midrange but for my ears little else was defined and guickly went on to Cardas Golden Reference, which were more open and detailed than their Neutral ones but not significantly worth more to me, went on to Purist Audio HDI and loved the detail, resolution and outfrontness of its sound. Am now trying the Hovland and it is a much more laid back sound, with more openness but no lack of detail. It makes the Purist Audio sound etched by comparison. It seems to be a cable I can easily live with and may well mark the end of my search. At $795 I sure hope it does. If I had to pick a favorite other than Hovland it would be toss up between the Purist Audio at $630 and the Cardas Neutral at $294. Hope that helps
I swear by Discovery cable. I just bought a 5din to rca from Joe and his cables can not be beat for the money.
