Re: The SYMMETRY...

FWIW the rca symmetry cables($599) outperformed the revelation audio labs paradise($399) and pure note original paragon($375) when i had them with my headphone amp in my rig for 3 weeks.
the symmetry cables made the paradise sound rolled-off, muddy and slow, it also made the original paragon sound unnatural and without body.
the symmetry cables never sounded bright. they were airy, transparent, dynamic and had the 'just right' natural sound.
one of the test tracks was 'pinball map' from in flames' newest live album (i am a metalhead). the symmetry cables were the only pair that allowed me to notice a slight reverb (the band was playing in the auditorium_.
now my headphones are directly plugged into the dac, i have retired my headphone amp so no more cable shootout for me ATM. anyway, the symmetry cables are highly recommended.
