The combination of low-level detail, upper-octave smoothness, and transient speed made the Blue Heaven a top choice in this survey. It resides on the cooler, leaner side of neutral, contrasting with the moderately warmer Siltech Paris. Still, both take the prize in terms of earthy harmonics and near-effortless dynamics, approaching my reference interconnects.
