The only copper cables that I found to be worth their weight was using a pair of very, very hard to get Mosaic Chimeras developed by Dale Pichard (Innovative Designs) and Jack Bybee, using Jacks' Carbon Nano Tube blocks. They were on a pair of MC275's. The copper was the cat meow with the MC275's.
However; the copper did not perform as well on the MC2301's for some reason & after K-S Emotions which I didn't care for neither, in came some older Nordost SPM's I had lying around & then WW platinum; which I thoroughly enjoy and can safely say, I'm through with the cable junkie in me. Wait -- I was just tapped on the shoulder by the bad cable junkie. He reminded me I have one more avenue -- Nordost Odin's whenever a demo pair arrives. Probably will stay with the WW platinums unless............more to follow. Best Bob
