Cables with the best highs


Thought I would throw this one out for discussion:

I'm looking for opinions from the community regarding speaker cables which excel at producing lovely and listenable highs.

Your question is as difficult to answer as, "What is the one color that is sure to be everyone's favorite?"

In addition to being system dependant, people differ in what they consider to be listenable highs.

I will begin by giving my opinion, and unless Audiogon has changed greatly in the last few hours, almost every brand of cable will be suggested in the posts that follow.

I dislike any brightness or harshness at all, so I prefer Purist Audio and Cardas. Both of these (on many speakers) are extended, smooth and manage to maintain layering and texture into the uppermost frequencies.
Bwhite. In case you do not know, Purist Audio will build a tri wire speaker cable from any quality level in the line.

The end product is a single cable with three custom terminations, cut exactly to length for each input of your tri wire speaker.

A member of my audio group went through this same issue with his top of the line B&W speakers. Before it was even properly broken in, he forgot about any future upgrades, It resolved every issue he had.
