    I had been using a Furutech for the past 5+ years up until a week ago. I was happy with the Furutech up until I replaced all my cables in the last 18 months.

    After talking with Marvin at Southwest Audiofest about Crystal Clear Cables I gave Mel a call and he built me a Magnum Opus 2 with WBT terminators. I only have about 6 hours on it but am liking what I am hearing.

    @F1nut I just added a pair of the silver signature RCA-RCA to my system between the DAC and the Preamp and I like them a lot! Better than the Wireworld Eclipse 8's I was running.

    Cable break-in deniers should give these a try.

    My turntable came with a high quality 5 pin DIN plug silver cable to connect to the phono preamp. I haven't felt a need to replace it with something different and the connector limits options anyway. Kimber Silver Streak from phono preamp to the preamp. Short run to avoid possible routing issues near power cords or other gear.
