homegrown super silver as a digital cabl


what do you all think of using a length of the h.g. super silver as a digital cable? i'm currently using a length of straightwire laser link 2. it's a loaner and sounds pretty good. i don't think it is a 75ohm (whatever difference that makes) cable, but it is shielded. i don't use a tuner and live in the country so rfi is not a big problem. is a true 75ohm digital cable going to be some magic nirvana? i am currently burning in homegrown's interconnects and love them. they just keep getting better and better. thanks.

dekay, kevin at homegrown emailed me and said that he and others had good success utilizing a single length of super silver as a digital cable his only concern was rfi. i put this string out there because i wasn't sure. right now i'm using a single length of straightwire laser link 2. i have no info about this cable other than it's ofc copper shielded and a coaxial design. it was sent as a replacement for an older set of straightwire i.c.'s that went bad. it sounds good now, but what will improve if i switch to a digital cable? honestly i love the sound that i've got, and have even considered getting a single run of the laser link for a cdp to dac connection. my thinking however, was how would the synergy be if i utilized all silver for interconnects and digital. i'm new to this stuff and am still on the bottom end of the learing curve. i bought the h.g. i.c.'s because the comments i've read and the price seemed too good to be true. so far it's surpassed my expectations.
dekay, thanks again for updating me. let me know how the single run sounds as a digital cable if you get the chance. i think i'll find a true digital cable after considering all that you've written. i'm interested in these mapleshade cables i've heard so much about, but can't find a website for them. if you've got a url address or phone number i'd sure appreciate it. also what do you think about dh labs silver sonic d60 or tributaries silver digital? how does mapleshade compare as far as price and performance? i'm still looking for the best bang for the buck. thanks again for all of the advice and guidance.
