Digital Cable suggestions

I am interested in experiences of and suggestions for digital cables, specifically coax (RCA). What cables have you compared and your results? I am looking at up to $200 for a cable.

As for the debate about different lengths, please refrain, I'd rather this question not divege onto that path.

No, Joe Mazzaglia makes cables under the Auricle name. My Auricles are analog interconnects; they stand up well against cables costing a lot more.

The Atlas Opus is made in the UK and sold in Canada by UHF Magazine among others. It is their best digital cable, it outperforms the WW Gold Starlight (IMHO) and does this at a lower price than the GS. The Atlas Opus is UHF's reference cable FWIW.

Atlas also makes the Compass digital cable. The Compass sells for CAD$160 at UHF. I haven't heard it but if it represents a significant portion of the Opus' performance it is a very good deal. UHF offers a 21-day trial on standard lengths.

I liked my VH Audio cryo Pulsar for smoothness and punch. You should also consider the Atlas Compass in that price range.

I'm quite prepared to believe Joemazzaglia's digital IC is great value. I have two of his Auricle ICs and they are the best I've heard at the price.

Hi Brianmgrarcom, other than the VH Audio cryo Pulsar, I've tried Wireworld Gold Starlight, Ensemble Gigaflux, Apogee Wyde Eye, Zu Ash, a Canare cable I don't know the name of and my current and favourite cable, an Atlas Opus.
