Opinions please.

I'm trying to decide between the Signal Analog 2 and the Silver Resolution speaker cables (for my 2 channel rig). What do you guys think in terms of bang for the buck? Do you think the Silver Resolution might be a bit to detailed (harsh) for my Carver gear and modded SDA 1Cs (Sonicaps and Mills)? I have a silver SDA cable and I think it made a pretty big difference compared to the stock cable.

Thanks!

    I would suggest picking up a pair of each & do a side by side comparison. Frank has a great return policy & also gives Polkies a discount. Let your ears decide for you.

    Yeah, that's definitely an option but for some reason I would feel a little bad about "demoing" some new cables and then returning them. Call me weird:biggrin:.

    I didn't know about the CP discount. How much? Thanks for the tip!

    Don't quote me but I think it's a 5% discount. Talk to Frank, he'll probably recommend that you try them both & won't have a problem with you returning one.

    I've used both many times and my choice is the silver resolution. Sweet cable.

    Call Frank and ask him. He normally can provide good recommendations. I have great respect for people like Frank who could of sold me the most expensive cable he had but didn't because he didn't feel it would work with my gear and my tastes.

    I'll give Frank a buzz and see what he has to say. Thanks!
