Although it's only had 8 hours to 'burn in', it is already very apparent that this MAD My Audio Design - Diamond Signature is an exceptional cable. I've auditioned several silver cables in the past- these include Kimber KCAG, Stereovox, Neotech and the Cryo Reference from Missing Link- all fabulous cables in their own right but I've never been impressed enough overall to keep them. Sure, they've all sounded detailed and transparent with impressive high frequency reproduction but they all appealed to the intellect rather than the emotion of the music- consequently I've always gone back to copper cables- preferring it's warmth but missing that lovely 'hear through' character of silver.


It strikes me vividly that the Diamond Signature does everything that a silver cable should do but without sacrificing that all important visceral quality of good copper cables. It is, without doubt, the best silver cable I have heard. Interestingly, I think it shares a very similiar presentation to the excellent Paris interconnect- they seem to share similar musical DNA despite the difference in the metallurgy. The Paris is oustanding but the Diamond Signature is exceptional.
