Purist Proteus Provectus tonearm cable.

Sirspeedy - I would not be too focused on materials, i.e., silver is good and gold is bad. The Jade Hybrid IC which uses a combination of these materials is an exemplary performer unlike any other IC I have tried. And another IC I tried at the same time that used both materials was a major disappointment. Implementation is clearly a factor.

Your report above indicates that the Hyperphono uses a 50/50 of these materials.....and yet, well. ..... I've already reported my comparative observations on the Hyperphono vs. the IC-70. 8-)

Dear John(I "had to say that-:),you are absolutely correct!!

Like I said,I know nothing about cable design,but am very good at bloviating...I set up a nice arm/cartridge too,but after that "nada" -:)

Thanks for the enjoyable responses

BTW John,I just want to emphasize that I "DO" believe your observations!!

I have always been a bit too analytical,and know it is not always a good thing.I doubt if I'll change,but definitely....sometimes you just have to go with simple observations!Here,your observations should be irrefutable,based on your experience in the hobby..

Btw,one thing I am "just a touch" sceptical about is the dismissal of the IC-70,as not being a very good performer.I previously did a controlled comparison of "it" against the Venustas,with two other serious LP collector/hobbyists present.The IC-70 clearly was the superior cable(to all of us),in "that" set up.....(yet,I am very interested in always "considering" the best way to "protect" the "tiny signal",from a good cartridge,so I remain open,and interested in ALL opinions).

You definitely have good "cred" here.Too bad I don't have too much discretionary income lying around....It's ALL been going to the Oil Companies....The bastards!! -:)

I'm not at all trying to be defensive here....just schmoozing the hobby,on a hot,slow day in July!

Anxiously awaiting the opening of the new X-Files movie tomorrow!!...My boring,but somewhat fun existance!

Enjoy your great sound!
