It could just be the systems. My comparisons were done with pass labs aleph equipment and audio physic avanti-century speakers. These are very high detail/low distortion and are known good matches for nordost cabling. The aleph's have a sweet sounding midrage/treble & nordost cable just seems to bring out more of that.
I found that the spm speaker cable was a bit better than satori, but the quattro-fil i/c's were much better than az silver ref. I sold off my spm speaker cables and bought a long satori run. Mainly because I felt the small performance loss was worth the savings on a 5 meter set. I also like the idea of a $600 cable cossing a traffic area better than a $3000 cable (I do use foam sandwiches). Az should pay me a commission. Three people I know have gone to using satori's after hearing them in my system.
