Very good questions/observations.. I have two cables that I use: DH Labs D-75 with Vampire BNC termination ( 1.5m) and a Black Cat Veloce (1.1m). Which do I prefer? The DH Labs sounds more open and the Veloce more detailed. So (surprise, surprise) it is a matter of taste & YMMV etc. etc.. BTW. I believe Steve Nugent is possibly responsible for publicising the 1.5m rule. Clearly, many specialist cable designers would disagree. -- Audio Bling ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Audio Bling's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47703 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322
