Anybody knows about NBS cables?


Does any body knows about NBS cable, especialy the Monitor 4 and how does it compare to another brands like Nordost, Cardas...? Is it a big improvement between Monitor 3 and 4? I have Jmlab electra speakers with Classe amp, pre, CDP Thanks for your inputs Worldcup86

I've switched most of my system over from Cardas Golden Reference (which is excellent) to NBS Monitor 0. The NBS and Cardas tonal palette is very similar, on the warm, rich side, but the Monitor 0 has amazing fullness in the lower midrange-midbass without seeming to lose any transparency in the upper midrange. Highs are clear but maybe not as extended as other lines. These cables go beautifully with very revealing speakers (Eggleston Andras) and electronics (Pass phono amp and line preamp, Classe CAM-350 amps), but I'd be careful of them with tube amps and warmer speakers (e.g. Kharma).
