Has anyone else tried DNM solid core cable?

Dear Sir;

Yes, I recently purchased DNM after recommended by a fellow audiogon member. Previously I was using Kimber Hero and here is my comparison:

1) Hero's sound stage is bigger than DNM
2) Hero separates instruments better than DNM
3) Hero's bass is more pronounced and tighter than DNM
4) Hero emphasis is on the high and bass while the mid is not as smooth (but detailed) as DNM
5) Overall, Hero is more 'detailed'

6) DNM's female voice and piano sound more like "real" than Hero
7) DNM's emphasis is smooth mid-range
8) DNM is overall more balanced musically
9) DNM sounds very intimate in low volume
10) DNM doesn't sound as good in higher volume
11) DNM has less "sparkle" in treble than Hero
12) DNM is probably good for long term listening, and/or for your bed room system.

My setup:

Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grand
YBA Integre CDP/AMP
Analysis Plus Oval 9 SC
Oyaide XXX Plug
Oyaide Tunami PC
DNM Reson & Kimber Hero (I ended up keeping both as either one is good at what it does in its own terms).

Before Hero, btw, I had PBJ and I can unequivocally say Hero and DNM are better: they are in the different league all together.

Hope this helps.
Best,

Devilboy,
The feedback here so far appears to focus on ICs. I have been reading about and I am interested in solid core speaker cables. What is your take on JUST the DNM speaker cable? Is this a type of magnet wire (as used in the "Anti Cable")?

Thanks.

I have the DNM interconnect with eichmann bullet plug. A tad light weighted and the musical notes do not go as deep as some other more expensive cables I heard. Nevertheless it is amongst the transparent and vivid cable I have heard.

I am interested in their speaker cables as well but I need longer length and not sure of the effect of these very small gauge cables on the amp to speaker interface.

2chnlben: I originally just had the DNM speaker cable. What a huge difference! Deffinately get the speaker cable first. It's a solid core cable.

Greeni: Let me make this perfectly clear: I think that the DNM cable goes as low as it has to. Many cables do something extra and exagerate other frequencies such as the bass which make you think that it goes deeper, or is more extended in the highs. I used to have Nordost Tyr balanced intc's and I think they, as with most other so called "high end" cables, manipulate the sound to impress people in the quick 10 minute demo, but when you really listen to music, you realize that live music doesn't sound like that. Everything with the DNM is more neutral and clean, which is what I want to hear when listening. I don't want to hear what the engineer in the cable factory wants me to hear.
