Zavato, I didn't want to reveal the digital cable my Boomslang easily outperformed but it was the highly regarded Wire World Platinum Starlight; their top cable. Snake River Audio has a unique approach to the build of the Boomslang that is new and frankly better sounding than the coax type digital cable. You get a 30 day money back guarantee; try it. I think I have a pretty revealing system and I auditioned Snake River Audio cables to my Transparent Reference MM interconnects, Prana Wire Deva speaker cables and the musicality, detail and resolution this cable line presents is truly amazing at its price point. I replaced all my cabling with Snake River and presently working on replacing my PC's with SRA. Full disclosure: I loved this cable line so much I asked Jonny Wilson if I could help develop his dealer network and cover the western states, but that aside, definitely a cable to hear. Check the reviews; call Jonny direct.

Cabledyne offers silver or copper SPDIF cables in BNCs or Xhadow RCAs for a fair price. Quality is superb and a 40 day trial. http://www.cabledyne.com/rca-digital-cable.html |
If you can go to the price level of $800, the HFC CT-1 Digital cable was so better than any other digital cable I have used. This is in contrast to my previous experiences with digital cables, where the difference between them seemed to be subtle and not very earth shattering. The HFC magnetic technology allows a cleaner square wave with faster rise time than normal cables. This IMO is why it succeeds so well as a digital cable. |
Agisthos, I borrowed a High Fidelity CT-1 digital cable from the Cable Company based on all the positive buzz here on Audiogon. I thought the Black Cat Silverstar sounded just as good as the High Fidelity CT-1 at 20% the price. In my system, the Klee Digital Waveguide was a step up from the Black Cat and CT-1, although it retails for $1350, so it should sound better. I also preferred the PAD Acqueous Aureus at $750 to the HFC CT-1. I am not bashing High Fidelity Cables. Some Audiogon members whose opinions I trust have nothing but praise for the HFC interconnects, speaker cables, and power cords. My point is that cables are fairly system dependent, so make sure to try it before you buy it. |
