Forza Noir HPC mk 2 is another really good one as well
Thanks. I was looking mainly at FAW Noir vs Claire and for me the main thing (after establishing reputable build etc) is to kill microphonics.
I’m thinking the Claire might be better as the outer sleeve on the noir looks similar to what I have on my OIDIO Mongrel.
As for the ZMF cables, I have to say the OFC is excellent for microphonics and I probably shouldn’t be looking elsewhere
