Just felt the need to offer an update on said cables:

After at least putting over 300 hours on both the SP-9003Ag IC's | XS-1102Ag USB Cable | 80 hours on the SP-9001Ag IC's, all I can say aloud is this was possibly the 4th " WTF " moment I've encountered in over 6 years, I'm talking beautifully placed images within the soundstage itself | little unknown nuances underpinning every sound | separation of notes | truth of timbre and tonality are unmatched by anything I'd once again owned or heard over the course of the last 14 years.

The one adjective that comes to mind time and time again is the manner of cohesiveness heard | felt via each of these cables..., yet once again my senses tell me the costlier SP-9003Ag IC's are again a tad more refined | offer better dynamic shadings | as well as handling more complex passages with a greater sense of ease. Their stablemate usb cable simply put has to be heard to believe | I'm thinking should definitely be included on any serious music lovers list of " must haves ", as it easily eclipses everything I thought I was enjoying with the cloned Odin 2 Silver version, just more so. I've to express said emotional attachment as felt during said listening sessions has merely allowed me to get beyond merely listening to the electronics | as always more drawn into the actual recordings themselves | all this for under $450 is an amazing feat in and of itself whicb once forces me to ask why oh why hasn't this form of conductor been used beforehand?.

I've to assume some companies are more concerned about measuring cables?, as opposed to understanding just how to use them as far as experimentation goes?, as listening requires both an open mind and willingness to explore the unknown in my mind.

Once again, my curiosity has be ignited to the point of seeing a purchase of either of the Greg Knight PCs offerings as where I've chosen to tap out, namely his GK-6009Ag or Energy MK ll models, where the latter is offering as bulk cabling, yet as it only has to be assembled once, of which I'm very capable of paying attention to detail here ( trying to solder on RCA Connectors is another story of which I've spoken on plenty of time ) yet I'm seriously thinking many of you whom aren't anti-Chinese with certainly find much to love about the overall musicality of these cables..., go ye fourth and enjoy what's possible for peanuts cost wise. I like other members here before me stand behind said recommendations | then some.

Here's one extra shout out to my lifelong friend ( as we met one another in a past life | if you get my drift?, when people of like minds | spirits got beyond racism and just cared about one another based upon common decency ) " it doesn't stop with the usb cable..., you'll have to add a pair of IC's | Power Cord, to fully understand the connection made with said items ".
