Best interconnects for AYRE gear ?

Thanks so far. I found the TaraLabs ISM 0,8 onboard far superior than Cardas GR. Would like to know any opinion on Nordost TYR, Jena Labs and Shunyata Altair..

I have owned and tried many diferent cables over the years. The best I have heard are the Jena labs. I replaced the Acoustic Zen Silver II with the mid line Jena Symphonies ($1,100 per meter). The Acoustic Zen are great cables, but the Jena symphonies are more tonally natural with a more open soundstage, better sense of space, bit better focus, depth and greater purity. To top that off, they are also very transparent as well. I also use the Valkyres for speaker cables and love them.
The Jenas have been superb in various systems but I do not know how they work with Ayre.

I tried a bunch of cables for going from a CX-7 CD player to my preamp (Krell KRC-3). Some, like the PAD Venustas, were interesting and quite good in many areas (incredible resolution and soundstage). Others that were good were the Shunyata Aries and Nirvana SX-LTD. They were many others that were not as good as those mentioned here.

Ultimately, I thought the Venustas too colored and dynamically restrictive in my system (though at least a cut above everything else in other areas). In my system, and based on my interpretation of neutrality (which is what I am after), I thought the best cable I tried was the Nirvana SX-LTD. On the other hand, Cardas Neutral Reference had a way with the CX-7 and was much cheaper, so that's what I went with.

I have to agree with Glenn-garza. The Nirvana SX Ltd is a great cable with Ayre as is Cardas Reference (Neutral, and Golden and the new Golden Presence). Purist is also very good with Ayre, but I would use the Aqueous Anniversary rather than the Venustas as it has less "color" in the mids and far more detailed extensions both top and bottom. Have fun - try some different cables and get what sounds best to you. John

I went for a pair of Shunyata Altair Helix (between V-5xe and K-5xe) and for a pair TaraLabs ISM 0,8 Onboard between DV-50 S and K-5xe. Found Nordost to thin sounding with Ayre and PAD to coloured. Cardas Golden Ref. lacked detail, speed, slam and transparency compared to ISM 0,8. Excellent but to expensive was Siltech SQ 110 MK II.
