i have comapred the ks emotion model to the prana cosmos, not the deva , and there was very little contest... the pranas are alot more open , creat a "live " feel to the sound ,and bring the listener about 4 rows closer to the stage... and that is for the s/c and the i/cs.
I recently compared the Pranawire Nataraja to the Kubala-Sosna Emotion and liked the Prana better on my system. It was smoother and more dynamic with more dimensionality
Does the prana wire present a more forward presentation than the K-S? Does either cable do a better job of conveying subtle details in the recording than the other?
...i can't respond exactly to the above question as i have not auditioned the 'deva' line of pranawire cables but the 'cosmos' vs 'emotion' comparison ..in my system...was an easy decision as to which was better..the cosmos speaker cables are much better then the 'emotion'. i even recently auditioned the jps 'aluminata' speaker cable against the 'cosmos' thinking i would complete an all 'aluminata' system but the 'cosmos' was ..again..superior. it is the most musical cable..speaker..i have tried in my system...i would give alan kafton an email at audioexcellenceaz.com and have him send you the 'cosmos' to audition...i doubt you will want any other after that...they are not forward and yes..they do a better job of detail retrieval and they present a very full and rich musical presentation.
