Best according to what criteria? Without a budget and knowledge of what you are trying to do, and what else you have its useless. Is a Shure SM58 better than a vintage Telefunken/Neuman M1? Sometimes, sometimes not. Do Quads sound great? you bet for a lot of music. Then why doesn't Pat have some? because they flunk WAF. And because sometimes he listens to music that doesn't do well on Quads. Its a freeking cable. Spend $20 on it and be happy. If you want the best cable that you can measure with your oscilloscope and signal generator, then you already know the criteria that are to be used. Just because every forum, on every topic, in the whole Internet gets "what is the best FOO" question all the damn time, doesn't mean its worth wasting electrons answering it. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
