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?

Thanks Stivervii for the Firefly comments.

Our Delta Sigma amp has the liquid purity of a great OTL midrange but far more extended top & bottom. The more neutral Firefly should be a great fit to showcase these qualities without imposing any colorations.

I can't wait to receive from John!!!

Thanks everyone for the nice compliments, much appreciated!!

Jim,
I went and did some reading on that Delta Sigma amp, what a beauty! But, just a tad out of my price range.. Sure looks sweet though. Hope you enjoy the cables.

Sincerely,
John

I tried well over a dozen top digital cables in my rig, the last one being a Virtual Dynamics Revelation Sig.

It sounded fantastic, but the strain on my RCA jacks was too much, I had to support the bottom of the cable off the floor to help alleviate the strain to some effect.

Along comes John's lightweight digital cable, a solid gold feed and solid silver return with WBT platinum locking RCAs, my transport and dac thanked me.

The sound is even BETTER than my previous reference, quieter, smoother and still retaining all the great attributes the V.D. is famous for, I'm done.

I have someone coming by this weekend with a Benchmark DAC and John was kind enough to send us one of the Silkworm digitals to listen to, I'll report back on what we hear but won't have a basis for comparison recently as I'm typically running a one-box solution....
