Comparing cables with the SACD version of this, love the SACD, but can't figure which cable I prefer

Shostakovich is getting some appreciation on another topic. Just finished listening to the adagio and allegretto (side one, in other words) of his 8th with the London Symphony conducted by Previn on a 1973 Angel. I'm lucky, must be, cause I've had it about that long and the album surface remains very quiet. So beautiful. So beautiful. One of these days I'll get around to listening to the second side, I suppose. I just can't imagine there is anything to be gained.

etcaroll,
One of the GREAT cycles of Beethoven in all history!

Even better, I got the complete set at a flea market, on vinyl, for the princely sum of $1!

The 5th may be a little worn, but the rest of the lps are fine.

I wish I could warm to Uchida's Mozart, but I always find it too cutesy, too beautified. I like her in Schubert and in Debussy, but her Mozart leaves me cold.

On the other hand, I've been listening to a lot of Mackerras since his recent passing, and his collaborations with Brendel is simply outstanding:

Pieter Wispelwey -- Bach: 6 Suite per Violoncello solo

I've got 6 recordings (at least) of these and this one is probably my favorite!

Nine symphonies, all SACD.....

Only vinyl could sound better, but not this level of convenience.
