Hi Tony, had mine in for a week now and I keep going through music I know well and am continually impressed how this cable helps deliver such an even handed and insightful experience. My previous IC seemed to blur vocals and accentuate high end information too much. The Spotfire IC gives more detail and clarity and vocals are much more intelligible.
Think Brian might quite like how this cable handles sibilance
As you mentioned, considering the components used to build this cable and the quality of its construction it is superb value for money.
