Sounds good.
One strange thing. I normally listen to music on my speakers at 15-35, and via headphones at 25-45 on my digital amp. When I go beyond 45 on speakers, the police are on my doorstep arresting me for disturbing the peace. However on the headphones from 55-95 there is minimal increase in volume and the sound towards the 95 starts to sound frayed although not much louder than at 45 (which is reasonably loud already). I wonder why?

How much did this cable sell for?

I think $150 but I'm not sure, because it's now off the website. Since I was the beta tester I got a good price for it, but it wasn't THAT good, still reasonably expensive!

Nice review. Strangely I have the same hiss issue with my Griffin Powerwave (class T amp) with headphones. Irrespective of volume it's there, as soon as the music starts it just vanishes, even before the music reaches the level of the hiss. Very odd behavior, I thought it was me!

I hate to quote myself but I now know shy the sound is frayed. My cans are dying pretty fast by any estimate. I'm back to my speakers now. BOO HOO!

Sorry to hear about your can's.

BTW is that headphone lead still in production? It cost's about the same as the Antique Reference box but would probably take up less space (if it sounds as good). Yet another option.

Email or pm Xanadu777. He is a seattle based headfier who makes these cables. He can make you a custom cable. If you want I can send you these cables and you can give them a run on your system. I would warn you that these are prototypes and may not look as slick as Bolders or Kimbers but looks pretty nice anyway.
