Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system


I am finally pretty darn happy with my system. It consists of Epiphany 12/12 speakers, modded Dodd 120's, and APL 3910, with latest Sound Applications Linestage. I have lots more eq, but, I am trying to simplify. I may end up using a Pre-amp, but I am not sure yet. I do have Dodd Reference Modded, and Modwright modded. Now, my quandry lays here. I am presently using Xindak gold 3 meter interconnects(1 amp on each stand, 8 feet apart). Speaker cable I am using bested Virtual Dynamic Revelation in my system, it is no name, as of yet, but the wire is used to seal Nuclear waste, and sounds amazing. My power cords are Purist Dominus on Sound Applications, Electragide Ultra Khan RR on APL, and stock on my amps.

I have an opportunity to get "a deal" on the latest Kubala Sosna Emotion, and/or Purist line of cables. For the price I can get it for, I cannot audition.

I would also appreciate opinions on whether I should put my amps together, and get longer speaker wire, or longer interconnects.

I have been told by Rick Schultz(VD)and others that the only real way to get the BEST synergy is using same brand cable thu-out system. I just dunno, and in commiting well over 5K to cables alone....I would like some assistance.

Thanks in advance, and best of luck in your journey

I'm the one that started the thread '' Kubala-Sosna Cables, I don't get it ''. I am still in the market for a balanced interconnect to go from my Rowland Synergy IIi pre-amp to my Rowland #5 Amp.The rest of the system is Purist Dominus and Venutas speaker cables. I really liked the Synergistic Absolute Reference X2 interconnects. Fast and detailed with a nice touch of warmth.... The Synergistic added some speed that I think I needed as sometimes too much of a good thing like Purist Dominus and Venustas made my system sound bloated, syrupy and sweet. So, I will throw my hat in this,,,,,how would the Kubala-Sosna Emotion sound between my amp and pre-amp. Remember, it's just your opinion.
My comment is not about the Emotion IC's. However, I had K-S's Fascination XLR IC's running from my Synergy IIi to JRDG Model 12's and then a JRDG Model 302. I think that any of the top 3 Kubala-Sosna balanced IC's will be what you are looking for.

Considering their in-home trial, how can you go wrong? If you do not have a dealer in your area, send me an email and I will hook you up w/the best.
I have ordered my Purist, and am still working on the Kubala's. I will post results after receiving. I have also bought a new amp, Lamm ML2, so my system is changing, for the better, I hope.
Smilin,I assume you are replacing the excellent Cary 211's with the wonderful Lamm's.Could you elaborate on your perceptions,as to why this change.Actually,I think the Lamms are about as good an amp as I've ever heard,but the 211's are also supposedly fabulous,and have a bit more clout.

Best!
sirspeedy, I have not updated my profile in a long time, thus, it not entirely accurate. I have actaully had 2 different pairs of the 211's in my system. Low volume low level detail was amazing, but, for some reason, I was never able to rock out with those amps, without the treble bothering me. I communicated with Dennis Had at Cary, and we could not figure it out. Maybe a lack of system synergy. I have been really enjoying a pair of Dodd 120's modded, using 8 metal base mullards, SS rectified, and 2 tungsol 5687's with a pinch waist amperex E182CC in the middle position of the driver tubes. These amps so far, have eaten the compatition, in my system. Go figure.

I am looking forward to the Lamms, though.
