Cable recommendation

you might want to consider the rsc or ism lines from tara labs....excellent balance between musicality and detail from them usually.

I've recently auditioned Cardas, AlphaCore (Goertz) and Nordost. The latter two are flat cables. Prior to trying the Nordost, I thought the AlphaCore's were quite an improvement over my MIT's. However, after trying the Nordost, there're so far my favorite. Nordost's high end line, in order of cost, consists of Blue Heaven, Red Dawn and their expensive reference, SPM. Each was an improvement over the other, but all were very transparent, quick and quite uncolored. Spatial information and subtleties (i.e., the recording environment, studio or hall etc.) were more evident with these cables then others I've tried and as cost increased so did imaging and depth. However, all (3) were very good -- give Nordost a try before you buy. My equipment: Wadia directly coupled to Mark Levinson with Martin Logan reQuests.
