Summary:
This is about Black Line 6 (there are also 7, 9, 9S).
Sheer musicality. Not for blaming other cables, but for reference: it is
much better than Nordost SPM, Goertz MI, better than Cardas, Nirvana.
Yes, for $40.
I used to use Nordost cabling in my home built speakers, until the first comparison with the Black Line. OK, I knew the Nordost is a somewhat hard-sounding cable with some edge in the treble; but bass was the best around. I expected that the Black Line will be better in the midrange and treble, but it was 2 times better in the low end also... A category better.
I cannot separate these qualities: image, focus, balanced, smooth, fast, dynamic sound over the whole spectrum. They were together. This cable plays MUSIC.
Incredibly good value. Probably one of the VERY BEST cables in the world.
I could not find any flaw. Black Line 9 "might" sound better, but the Black Line 6 is simply a perfect cable.
