what are the tradeoff for these cables?


dear A'goners,

a lot of talk on positive comments/remarks on cables characteristics... how about some discussions on what are the weakness or tradeoff that you encounter when you insert the following power cables into your specific systems (or perhaps other systems that you're familiar with)

1) Sunny cables

2) Omega Mikro

3) Silver Audio

4) Jade Audio

5) Isoclean

just trying to gather the common points (something like statistical data) of the cables character. Hope this thread can identify the cable which can give OVERALL IMPROVEMENT (however slight) rather than a cable that sacrifice something to get other things right. Please chime in if you do came across cables that give overall improvements.

Thanks in advance,

The only cables on your list that I have heard are Jade Audio. I have owned the Vermeil Gold and Hybrid Gold versions. Both were very good cables with rich harmonics that only gold can provide. Can sound like a lush, 300B amp.
Shortcomings were that they were not as detailed and extended as some other cables can be. Just as with everything else in audio, there are always trade offs. Also, system synergy and personal tastes will come into play as well, so YMMV.
