Interconnect for sweet, silky violin sound

And that's no joke...

try the KCI Silkworms+ or Gabriel Gold Raptures.

Snopro...Though I haven't auditioned these, I've been reading AGon thread comments about them, and also the Jade Hybrid. For those who are following this thread,aside from what I mentioned in my lead in remarks,I seek a sound that is not sharp edged and avoids the exaggerated brilliance of so-called hi-fi-ishness. Like Guidocorona above I listen almost exclusively to orchestral and chamber music, and in addition, lean toward a dense,weighty,airy sound while retaining as much top end extension as possible. Of course, it's not a particularly easy balancing act to have the dense and powerful while simultaneously getting excellent detail up top. Compromise somewhere is usually necessary.

For pre amp to amp and pre to cd, I really like Cardas or Van den Hul. Both are excellent.

For me the Purist Proteus Provectus (RCA) is capable of providing the qualities you are looking for.
I listen to Cello, guitar(nylon string),violin, chamber groups, some symphonies and an equal amount of all types of jazz.
I also prefer a "recessed sound" not an exploded sound stage "bright,peaky,wirey,thin and acidic" where the quality of sound is sacrificed for a bigger more forward presentation.
One sounds like noise the other music!!!!
