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?

Pat,
I meant to email you this morning as well and got side tracked, sorry about that. As you now know your cables are on the way to the Mexican border, hopefully they survive the dangerous journey. I doubt they'll ever be seen again in Ohio without a ransom of some sort. Just the "Border way" my friend, so sorry. ;)

Dazone,
Thank you for the kind words sir. I couldn't help it, I had to update your cable as I just couldn't have you living with the 1st gen/prototype, just wasn't right. I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying the Pegasus. If you ever have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me anytime. Thank you!

Best,
John

Well, to put it simply the new + and my upgraded SE with Xhadow connectors are broken in and a very very nice upgrade on the original Silkworm. They continued to open up and flesh out a bit and now are simply glorious. Extended and polished without any graininess at all. They have an even richer glow to the sound but still deliver the goods in terms of detail. As I said befor they also have more meat to their sound now, more punch. I didn't think John could improve on the Silkworm I loved so much, but darned if he didn't go and blow them up. You guys waiting to get your upgraded cables back are in for a definite treat. Enjoy!

Well, Pat. I've only been listening to your newly upgraded Silkworm+ for 24 hours and already I can tell that these interconnects are "off the map" in sound quality. The midranges, especially voices, are totally mesmerizing. Uh, oh! A truck full of tough-looking guys wearing large Sombreros and carrying what look like AK-47 rifles just pulled up to my house. Gotta go. Looks like trouble. Talk with you later.

Yes, Pat. I'm fine. It was a false alarm. They went to the wrong house. Silkworms are safe and sound.
