Glad these seem to be working for you so far! I tend to agree with you re different manufacturers.Your listening notes are similar to mine. Definitely a full-bodied cable, and that's not a bad thing! They carry a decent sense of volume and impact, while not sacrificing the clarity and air around the highs.
My system tends to be pretty neutral, as it's balanced with careful selection of SS and tube components, and the right selection of tubes.
Thanks too for the link to the TAS article. I actually hadn't read it, so it was very informative. It almost made me want to try the Nordost cables, but given that I like their engineering too, it's an understandable draw.
I love your idea about the cotton 'snake skin' jacket. That's exactly what I was trying to replicate with the FR CleanCut Techflex. I figured with the amount of plastic/PVC/whateverthehellthejacketis of the HD14s, whatever I used for the jacket wouldn't matter much.
