KCI Pure Gold and the benefits

Hi Guys just wanted to share my new love for the majic of pure gold interconnects. Ive been through the paces of tring different mid to high grade interconnects in my system and finally tried pure gold. Now the price does vary significantly from pure gold cable to pure gold cable, I picked up the KCI and have really loved what gold did for my modest system compared to pure silver, flat ribbon and tons of different copper. I have read the white papers about silver being a better conductor and even some on why gold is more pleasing to the ear. I feel that gold is more coherent top to bottom than silver but noticed many of my audio friends are using silver still. What is the general feeling and use here amongst guys with the high end of equipment? Are you using gold and does it get even better with higher end equipment?

I have tried silver. I have tried copper. I found that gold plated silver was the ticket for me. Loads of detail and air with all the warmth I could want., beyond copper. The silver has detail that copper and gold can'tdo, if tamed as in gold plated it's wonderful.

I'll be receiving two pairs of Pur Au79s by the end of next week.

Judging from my long conversation with John at KCI and feedback from users, the results seem most promising.

I am also using a pair of pure gold interconnects in my system that I built myself. I ended up using 28ga 24kt pure gold wire, two wires per leg, terminated with Eichmann RCA connectors. I'm using it between my cdp and preamp, and anytime I try a different IC in that spot, I always end up going back to the Golds. They do something very special in my system, no doubt.

However, the same IC was tried on a friend's system, and it wasn't so good, so there are synergies definately at work with these gold cables. I love 'em.
