Black Cat Silverstar BNC to BNC


@ wig

Are you still mesmerized by this digital cable or have you found something better?

I am burning in a BC Silverstar MKII. So far compared to my Empirical Audio Reference, it is more open, extended and Dynamic. Empirical is more veiled in the midrange. The BC still needs to settle down more. I believe 200-300 hours of play is needed, I only have about 75 hours.

I thought you wanted a recommendation on length and best termination. My bad I see you were helping lordcloud.

The RCA adapters in this case is not a bad thing. The only way to configure truly 75ohm cable is with BNC termination. So having BNC cable with RCA adapters, is better than having a digital cable terminated with just RCA.
Its Chris’s standard length. That also would be a great question to ask Chris.
@shkong78 

Did you come to a conclusion with your Black Cable comparison?

I have been using the Silver Star MkII for a month or so and its the best digital cable I have ever used.

HOWEVER!!!! 

I took a risk and bought the TRON MK3 and installed it today. Currently have about 7 hours on it. Will report back with impressions soon vs the SSMKII. Was it worth the big upgrade price??? We shall see
Both of these cables are clearly cut from the same cloth as Wig has stated. No question about that. At first I thought Chris had sent me a SSMK2 with different jacket. I admit I was concerned.
WIth just 7 hours, things changed quite a bit. Its like comparing a 5 year old wine to a 25 year old wine from the same winery. If you want your digital to sound more like music this is the type of cable Chris is designing, he is not trying to make special effects. While the soundstage on the SS was very good, the Tron is mesmerizing. It will only get better.
