Kubala-Sosna Cables..... I don't get it ?????

I work at a dealer that sells the KS Emotion cables, and compared to all other brands we sell, they are rolled off on the top, and not as open sounding, they lack low level detail compared to the others. they tend to round off and warm up the sound of the systems they are hooked to. in a brighter or thinner sounding system they can balance things out a bit, but they still sound colored to my ear. We cary ARC , wilson , Arye, Wadia, Belcanto , Atmasphere, Magnapan, Sonus Fabre, Vandersteen, just to name a few brands, so I have heard the KS with lots of different gear. If YOU like how they sound, then they are good cables, for you in your system.

Ok,i have been listening to my cables for a week or so.the transient response is smoothe as silk.This is a very quick cable.Musical attack is very well defined.There is a small bit of low end roll off,but nothing that you can not live with.Both mid range,and highs are well defined in the fore front.Only the extreme back ground presentation is found to be a little thin.Over all a very nice sounding cable considering this is the entry level offering in the K B line up.

I tried a whole system set up of KS Emotion cables sent to me by a dealer for demo.
I was not pleased with them. The highs were muted and everything sounded syrupy. My opinion is that they seem to be designed as a midrange cable, perhaps for systems that need to define that area.

After the dealer got them back and listeded to them he also agreed on my discription of the sound. He said they may have been defective and offered to send another set.

I cant see how cables could be defective, so I declined listening to them again.

I agree about Emotion.
But Elation is completely another story!
Emotion is muddy in compare with Elation!
Elations are very expensive, but I don't know better cables.
I compared interconnects with Echole, Odin, Indra and will compare soon with Argento SMREE.
Only power cable is not good. Odin and Argento are much better!
