@ Glory, Hi, That is fine by me, I am happy with what I have!, I am not into having the best!, just what makes my sound good to me, on the bright side of what you are talking about, Taralabs is coming out with a new top of the brand cable between november and march, the zero lasted since 1997!, I find it a joke that its taken other cable manufacturers this long to compete or better Taralabs, I am sure when the new cable from Taralabs is introduced to the world, It will likly send ripples thru out the industry as best available once again, then,another 17 years before the competition can compete again!,, Happy listening!
