Audio Magic: has a sound which is fast (a tad faster than Kimber but slower than Goertz) but very tame. All the details are there (more extended HFs & LFs beyond Kimber), but like virtually no more?! [I'm bad at these discriptions. Please, bare with me.] The sound is almost tube like in its lack of grain. You can get this on the Excaliber IIs for cheap. Spell Caster II's drop the noise floor to reveal more details. Sorcerer focuses the detailed image with extraordinary holographic depth.

I tried a Monster Cable M950. I found the cable was very neutral, but sounded like it processed the sound. It rendered a "this is recorded" type feel to it. The details lost all of their spontaneous impact.
