A forthcoming upgrade to my "cubicle tubicle" system (my tubed headphone system I listen to at work) will make it necessary for me to purchase a pair of interconnects, at least 2, possibly 3 meters long. They will be connecting a Sony CDP-M555ES megachanger to my ASL MG Head OTL tube headphone amp.
I've narrowed my choices down to (CAT) Silvercats, Bluetigers, (Quantum) SuperNovas, and Silver Centauris.
I see the pros and cons of each as follows:
Silver Pros: More detail
Silver Cons: Cost, too bright perhaps?
Copper Pros: Cheaper, more durable
Copper Cons: Less detail (not necessarily a con)
Are there any other pros and cons that I missed here? Right now I'm leaning toward the Bluetigers, but would like to make as informed a decision as possible! How do Bluetigers and Supernovas compare, sound and build quality wise?
If this helps, here's the relative "brightness" of the gear I'm using: Sony ES changer - generally regarded as detailed; ASL MG Head amp, warm; Beyer DT 831 cans, can be bright though the tube amp tames them a bit.
Thanks... KJP
P.S. I already use both Silvercats and Bluetigers in my HT, but for different applications, so I can't really compare them.
