Great choices Bob. For me, I'd have those two and the new Vandersteen's in the conversation. Very few in that price range are better. They will sound different, but they all sound differently.

Blue, I have told you that Hurricane source is the way you want to go. Silver Cloud is a specialty type of cord. I'm not the only one who feels this way either I promise you that.
