Award-winning cable that's still good but it's no longer the class-leader it was

Good detail resolution; strong dynamics; affordable
Against
Refinement and timing is not as good
Give The Conductor something complicated like Buddy Rich's The Beat Goes On and it digs up a crisply detailed sound, with a well-integrated midrange and bass.
It's a touch heavy on the top end though, with treble verging on the strident, while it lacks some drive next to its near rivals. It's a good cable, but falls short of greatness.
