My entire experience with Discovery has been first class.
The comments above are accurate in their description of the "sound" characteristics of Discovery cables.
They seem to have a rightness to them. You may find more satisfaction elsewhere but it will come thru the considerable toil of time and money.
Joe DePhillips is one of the generous spirited guys in audio.
I became acquainted with Discovery thru the Audiogon purchase of their 1-2-3 speaker cable (used). When I tried to upgrade Joe told me to just listen to music for awhile. It's still installed.
For IC's, Joe took me thru a very nicely directed audition process. I chose the Plus 4's in all positions. Additionally an Essence run resides between the transport and DAC.
All the cables are beautifully finished, as well. They speak to the eye in the same artful way as to the ear.
This is a company whose focus is in the right place in all respects -- getting the customer closer to the music in a thoroughly enjoyable, straightforward, value-filled fashion.
Now with fifteen years of service exclusively in the cable business, Joe deserves to be considered in the same light as the other manufacturers of legend.
When I want to consider cable improvement I intend always to look to Discovery.
