The most detailed speaker cable??

>>our shielding effect reduces the noise floor by 40-60db"<<

Compared to what? Non-shielded? An inferior brand? If so, which?

Right on, Rsbeck. And if you're bringing the beer--Sacramento way--I'll make dinner & provide the tunes.

I get up there once in awhile -- that'd be great. I'd like to hear your modded 3910 -- are you happy with it?

Very happy with the APL 3910, yes. You're welcome anytime.

Rsbeck, Yes- About a year ago, I decided to change from single-ended to balanced. I switched to a Bat vk5i preamp, which is a balanced only design. The Siltec FTM4sg could not be changed to balanced, due to it's ribbon design, but I did have my Siltec SQ80b interconnect (cd to preamp) changed from single-ended to balanced. And yes, although I've tried other interconnects, I keep returning to Siltec. Thus, the balanced Siltec SQ 110 Classic. I've read some of Siltec's claims, including thier shielding claims, but mainly I just listen and compare. As far as vague goes... there's more than just the cable companies that are vague about things in audio. Well, best wishes! See you at the next watering hole. Happy trails, Stan
