I looked over the results and looked at the picture of the connectors and it appears to me that two highest rated cables used Cardas (it looks like the SRCA model) and "real" WBT RCA plugs...conversely, the Belden cable looks like it uses some cheeseball RCA's that I can buy locally for 88 cents each...they sound like they cost all of that 88 cents, too!
I have made identical copies of cables but used different RCA plugs and there has been distinct differences in the sound....
Too bad the picture showing the connectors was so tiny and it doesn't seem to me that they included the PAD cable's plug....I would have liked to see if the "E" connector was a real WBT or one of the clones...

  - Jon, I find the 89259 to sound "rough", "distorted" and "aggressive" against a straight bypass.... - Thorsten 13:52:29 06/27/01 ( 7)
