I`d love to hear from those of you who`ve owned or have heard the silver and/or the copper versions of these cables. Based on the brand`s reputation for natural sound I`ve become interested to learn more from the audiogon community. All thoughtful insights are very welcome.
I recently tried a bi-wired set of KSL silver speaker wire. I now run Kondo wire from the phono cartridge to the speakers. Early impressions are that of more prominent midrange detail, increased air and high-end extension with a slightly leaner overall presentation. Bass is a bit less than my current cables, but overall tonally correct to my ears. The most striking observation is an accuracy and richness of timbre of voices and acoustic instruments that I found most impressive. The increased resonance of the bow on a cello string or the tap on the body of an acoustic guitar that has me questioning the composition of the wood of the guitar is a delight that has elevated my listening pleasure. Cheap? Not. Going back? Never.
Stewartr Your quite eloquent post hit the bullseye directly on what I`m trying to achieve. A pure,natural and honest musical presentation without the typical and cliched hifi sonic artifacts that ultimately lead one away rather than toward the music`s message.
