Krell KBL or KCT, CAST cable or balanced cable?

Anfield, have you listen with your own ears? Until you have, you cannot claim wire is wire. I owned Krell for years and I know that is what Dan said in his advertising pitch, but it just ain't so! The Transparent CAST cable sound superior and I should know, I had them both with the KCT, 28c, 750 monoblocks.

Transparent CAST is definitely superior. I have been using the Transparent between my KPS-28c and KCT and the sound is unbelievable musical!! When I switched back to Krell CAST - all the magical sounds dis-appeared. I am looking for another Transparent to go between KCT and 400CX (currently using Standard Krell CAST). If you have a pair that does not do anything in your system - email me. Thanks!

Hifimaniac, no I never heard any Transparent cables before and that is why I asked. Stevecham said there was no difference, but both you and Sd2005gt claimed otherwise. Assuming the CAST cables do make a difference, I would be interested to know what Krell's response is as this contradicts their original literature.

Anfield, I believe the difference could be in the type of insulation and solder Transparent uses. The Krell has a cheap rubber outer and the transparent has a different material. I don't think the Transparent is worth the price new, but if you can find them used as I did, then the investment is worth it. A Krell dealer in San Franciso recommended the Siltech version of CAST and they felt it was the best of all the companies licensed to sell the CAST. I think Transparent, Siltech and maybe XLO could make the CAST cable for Krell. I was extremely disappointed with the Krell wire and I am a BIG Krell fan even though I only own the KPS-28C now.

Thanks all of you for your comments and opinions. I sure will try to at least locate a pair of used Krell CAST cables, if not the Transparent CAST (of course I prefer the later more). But bottomline is I am glad that Krell users generally agreed upon that CAST cables are superior than balance cables. Many thanks!
