Just wondering what you think is the best half meter 75 ohm digital coax cable between $200 and $250. I'm currently using an Illuminati(now distributed by Kimber)d60. I'm considering a Wireworld silver starlight 0.5 meter or maybe another Kimber d60.
Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated:hi:

I think KK is the top contender in that price range Bob.
I use some Canare coaxial interconnects with 75 Ω RCA Video plugs (gold turbines). ...Very inexpensive (about $20) and it works! :)
Good for a digital coaxial interconnect audio transfer.
Funny; each cable has its own sig. ...Some with emphasis on the bass, others on the mids, and some on the highs.
System synergy; ...key.

You never truly know till you try various ones in your own system. And even then some systems won't allow you to hear much differences, and others dramatic!
I guess the more resolute your system is the more you can discern between cables (digital coaxial interconnects included, of course).
Wireworld; I used some, but as analog interconnects, for a more neutral sound.
KK is a more revelator cable, IMO. ...Digitally, and 'analogically'. ...Tighter bass and clearer highs.
I would stick with the KK Illuminati (D-60). ....But what do I know? ...I'm just another Bob. ;)

I'm using a LAT International DI-30 Signature with upgraded Gold Eichmann RCAs. I compared it to a WW Gold Eclipse digital coax cable and found that I liked the sound of my LAT better and sold the Wireworld. It's very reasonably priced plus LAT International just started another 20% off sale for Memorial Day weekend.

The Shunyata AES digital is amazing, so I would expect the RCA version to be just as good. Not to mention less expensive than the usual suspects.

How much more less expensive Bud?

The TOL digital Anaconda RCA costs $1250 list. Compare that to the top of the line MIT, Siltech, etc.

That's what I thought. ...Bob's looking for the best half meter one between $200 and $250 (see original post). :)
Methinks he's still good with KimberKable. ...Illuminati D-60.
Number two: Canare DigiFlex Gold model RCAP003F => Approx. $10.00/0.5 meter ($19.37/3ft). * Could even be number one.

I just found out that the Nordost Silver Shadow S/PDIF cable, terminated with RCA plugs is $779.99/2m (MSRP).
I even got the link for a review (Stereophile). ...You want it? :) ...Vol.34 No.8
