In Reply to: Siltech G3 & G5 posted by Jason on March 12, 2002 at 01:19:07:
As far as other cables you might want to listen to, the only ones I've heard on that exalted level are the NBS Omega cables, which I have found to be superb in every aspect. VERY bulky, though, something to keep in mind, although they do stay the way you bend them. I also have Nordost Valhalla, which I would place at a rung slightly below the NBS, just a little too lean for my preferences, although that's really only in comparison with the Omega. I'm going to be auditioning some Siltech for my phono stage/preamp run to compare to the Valhalla (the NBS is just too bulky for that run), I appreciate your post here as it's the Forbes Lake I'm trying out, and I'm debating Compass Lake as well. I'll let you know how the Valhalla stacks up to the Siltech, if you're interested; in any event, the Nordost certainly is worth your time to audition, as it is an excellent cable as well.
Follow Ups:
I am very interested in your experience after your auditioning Forbes Lake and Compass Lake. The Forbes Lake I audtioned is RCA, which works not perfect with Burmester and all other XLR cables. So, it is a little unfair to say it has not so much difference between it and SQ88B G3. Anyhow, I do notice G5 ICs are much more quiet than those of G3,and so more tranparent, and more musical, which I am looking for at priority. Both Burmester and Amati are very musical, IMO, and so I want to keep it through all the run.
Thank you for your response and observations, I think you may have ruled out the G3 for me. I too go for a more musical than analytical approach, that's why I figured you were listening to Siltech and why I suggested the NBS as well. My system is single-ended, so I won't be concerned about rca/balanced issues. I'll let you know; hopefully the Forbes Lake sounds great, my wallet's getting too thin these days!
