The measurements may be great (at least as noise is concerned), but how does it SOUND???
I am still using the Linn DIN/RCA from my arm to my step up (RCAs removed, of course, then a twisted pair of silver stranded/Teflon insulated pair from step up to phono input. Sounds great to me and (in my case) offers lowest noise. Mind that both the Linn and twisted are soldered directly to the PCB of the step up (no RCA connections there- only at the phono input)...
Sounds is tight, musical and full. Clarity (okay, let's be honest, FOCUS) is crystal clear without edge. 3-D front to back, up/down/ left/right are amazing...

Surely the idea is that the wire DOESN'T have a sound!!
I could wax lyrical about how wonderful it sounds, but it will mean nothing to someone unfamiliar with my system and my preferences especially given how different our perceptions are. Plus, I WOULD say it sounds wonderful wouldn't I? Who buys a cable, raves about the design and construction before adding that it sounds as pleasureable as fingernails on a blackboard....
Seriously though, the cable allows me to hear the music without any tonal bias or influence and sonically is at least the equal of the Kimber and Cardas cables I have. Actually I think the Silvercord Plus (with KLE Harmony Silver connectors) is arguably the best sonically whilst easily beating them technically by a signficant margin. Having said that, the new cable will be less suitable for MM cartridges requiring > 200pF unless the phono stage has a sufficiently high or adjustable load.
So I can't tell you how the wire sounds, because I can't hear it in the system...but I can tell you that my phono stage and cartridge/turntable combination sounds absolutely sublime!

I can pretty much say the same about my above mentioned setup and its cabling; so much so, that my only real beefs with my systems currently are the main speaker power amp (not enough to really get my speakers up and boogying) and the lack of room treatments (not doing anything until I get into a house again)....
As with any setup and person, YMMV.
