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?

Ok, just wanted to let everyone know that all of the cables are back from cryo and are currently simmering away on the Audiodharma. I'm going to let them cook over the weekend and then they're on their way to their new home!

On a different subject; when I received the box of cryo'd cables there were two new razors in the box, at first I was like WTF?? Then I realized why he sent them so it will be interesting to give them a go and see how well they work/if they last longer than normal. Pretty cool....

Good news, John. If you happen to accidentally send me Pat's interconnects, I told Pat that if I liked them, I might have to accidentally drop them into the Rio Grande. Then I'll yell out, "There's GOLD in that there river!" On the other hand, if I do like them, I can always tell Pat that they suck and I'll just keep them for myself. Just don't tell Pat my plans.

Rats! You caught me, Pat. Well, I guess I'll have to go the honest route. John e-mailed this morning to tell me that your interconnects are on the way to me. I'll let you know when they arrive and keep you posted on their sound as they go through their further settling into the system. Stay tuned, Dude.

I offered my impressions earlier here regards KCI John's Pegasus dig cable. He had asked that I sent them back from audition (he already had payment) so he could update them to current production. He replaced the old WBT terminals (mine were first generation cables) and the teflon jacket. He wouldn't take anymore money from me. KCI makes a glorious dig cable and John's service is on the moon. Many thanks, John, you're a fine fellow and I am one happy customer/listener, indeed.
