I have heard several of the cables mentioned above, including those praised by 1markr and Listener57... As Tmiddle says and other Merlin owners in the past have said, TG Audio cables and jumpers have been found consistently to work well... Merlins are very revealing, so finding something that works isn't as easy as some might think... disclaimer: I peddle TG Audio, so don't take my word for it...the proof is in the listening... Try before you buy is best whenever possible, instead of reluctantly asking for a refund after the fact, regardless of what the product is...

Tvad, my point is because people are in most cases reluctant to return something they purchase, or they either don't get around to returning it or don't want to bother... I regret it if you read it as a pointed attempt to dissuade, as I'm aware of the people you mentioned and many others. My post encouraged home trials before money changes hands, a preference...this is different from money back guarantees, which also are very appropriate, although you may see them as the same.

I am using Homegrown Audio Silver Lace ICs throughout. One of the great audio bargains IMHO ($210/1m) and so fundamentally transparent. Silver really is the business!
