Moray James Digital Coax

I've tried this cable over a Harmonic Technology's CyberLink Platinum and a Van Den Hul digital interconnect. My question, how the hell does this cable which looks like $2 (cost $500 CDN) perform so much better?

I really can't explain it. Without using this cable to my Museatex DAC the differences are striking. I can't find any info on Moray James, no website. The cable was sent to me, I could buy it if I liked it. I can't even find anybody locally that carries Moray James cables. Is this cable well regarded in the world of high-end? The Cyberlink cable is about $100 cheaper but the differences in sound are so striking. I can't explain it.

Could somebody fill me in on Moray James?

The Moray James digital cable is the best I've found for use with the Museatex gear - particularly the BiDat. In that application, the MJ provides for an outstanding organic texture, with depth and dimensionality unmatched by other cables (and I tried everything).

John Wright (of Museatex) actually voices the BiDat mods with Moray's cables - and Moray voices his cables with the Museatex gear (I believe), so that's part of the synergy you hear.

Now... One thing to consider, Moray does change his designs every now and then and I've had some not-so-great-sounding cables from him in the past. Be sure he offers you a trial period or money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the cable.

You're correct, it does look like a piece of crap but for some reason the cable sounds fantastic.

And please, be careful with it in your auditions...

They break!

I don't think he has a model number for the digital cables. The packaging I have just says, RCA Digital Interconnect.
