I would take the Nexus2 for price/value. Outstanding cable. have heard great things about CH cables as Krell_man has mentioned. Also check out Prana Wire. I have Nexus 2 for the record for my Venture CR-8 Signatures.This is an awesome combo so far. And, I get my Wadia S7i w/ GNSC Statement mod next week.Boy-oh-boy, let the good times roll! :)
