So right. No, I have not heard the mega buck cables, but I take Jon's word for it. Once I heard the 89259/89248 twisted pair I was sold. It's a no brainer. Done deal. Make the twisted pair and you are done. They are fantastic. Some sort of $300+ silver cable, or even cheaper let's say, might give you more inner detail but it I'd be hard pressed to believe it has the sheer "rightness" and "correctness" of this cable. Period.
There, I said it.

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