I had The Cable Company send me 5 different interconnects- 3 well known and highly reviewed cables, and 2 others, unknown to me but recommended by Steven. My wife and I listened to a lot of music, and in the end, all in all, the Snake River Mamushi interconnect was more transparent, airy, well delineated soundstage, and quiet quiet quiet. Two of the cables seemed quieter at first, and may have been, but upon further listening, we sensed the notes were "shortened", and cymbals had no shimmer compared to the Snake River. Anyone else out there had any experience with this cable, and if so, thoughts?
