in a cable i would value absolute neutrality, and frequency extension, i want the cables to impart the least sonic signature possible, and provide as good a conduit for the recorded sound as possible..
fyi, as yet i dont own the de capos but am very seriously considering them for my next upgrade, i currently use xlo ultra cable, which in my current system sounds very nice, my dealer suggested that with the decapos it would sound bright and have weak bass...that however is pretty much the opposit of my experience thus far with this cable...he also charicterized the van den hul as being completely neutral, although ive read several comments on van den hul that characterize it as warm and rolled off in the frequency extremes...the de capo binding posts dont accept banana plugs right?? so i will have to change speaker cables when i upgrade my speakers cause my xlos are terminated with bananas
