Siltech was my cables when I had a Conrad Johnson set up. I only had the New Yorker MXT Pro series but I felt they performed very well. An interesting experience, I began with the interconnects then I wanted the speaker cables, the dealer gave me a good deal on a higher level Siltech but that series did not work well in my system, very good mids/highs but not much bass. I returned them and opted for the same NY as the interconnects and things were good. I loved how you could screw/unscrew the ends to switch from spade to banana. I wonder if they still do that?
I still have them around and using the interconnects in another system.
I compared the Shunyata Sigma to the Siltech 880 and Wireworld platinum
The Sigma still resides in the last ( maybe most important) spot of the chain, the Wireworld Platinum is feeding my office system and the Siltech sold.
The reality on my system is I can hear a difference between the cables but there differences are nuanced for sure. I found the WW Platinum just slightly tipped up for my main rig and the Siltech just slightly the other way … The Shunyata Sigma was just a little more “open”… easy to listen to.
Exactly why you have to listen to these things to hit your preferences on your gear… I’d never say that one was better than the other .
All the rest of the ethernet cables on the main rig are AQ Diamond .
You have had a lot going on over there recently , its my experience that this is the exact time to be trying some things as your “radar” is on… so to speak.
The Wire World platinum is a great cable and fits into my office rig nicely on the last leg to my Lyngdorf TDI3400 . The combo between the Lyngdorf and the Unison MiniMax stand mounts is on the dark side of neutral and the slight “tip up” from the WW ethernet cable tidys that up nicely .
We will likely get flamed though… remember, we can’t actually here the differences …. Sigh
