    Quick answer: Very similar in my system to the Diamondbacks. I haven't put the D'backs into the system yet so I might really **** a brick. I would certainly recommend them to anyone considering them. Oh, there might be a slight more amount of sparkle in the highs.

    I think they're a great cable, I sent these on to Wes because I upgraded to Hero's. The PBJ was the best cable I sampled in my system, under a $100. But as you said, every system (and listener) has preferences.

    I considered the PBJ's but I got Heros also and I am happy with my choice. Everything that I have read on the PBJs though says they are a great value.

    Rock on brotha!

    I tried the Diamondbacks once, but man they sounded "dry" to me.
