Jason:
The Nitro is the best cord I have had in my system. I tried the Type 2, a Cardas Hexlink, Stealth HAC, and the Audio Tekne.
The Nitro was better than all of these. at first, I thought it lacked a bit of detail over hte Type 2, but after I listened for a few days, and then went back to the Type 2, I kept the Nitro. It isn't missing anything except maybe some of the 2's dryness.
HTH,
B
