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?

Lak and BArbapapa, the KCI cables (ICs, power and speakers) are terrific cables for the money. But of course its all system depended.
The KCI silkworm plus ICs are best interconnects I had in my system. They were better than Hidiamond XLR3 (more open and even more natural with better defined midrange) and bested so many others. I have to admit, that (driven by desire to get the best manufacturer offers I upgraded them to KCI silkworm SE version where John (KCI maker) utilizes 22K gold instead of 24k.
They elevated the overall sound to even higher level with more flashed out tones, better air and deeper soundstage.
I stopped looking for ICs after getting KCI silkworm + SE. Btw KCI power cables are also terrific for the price.
I compared them directly to Kubala Sosna emotions, HD power 3 and 4, Shunyata anaconda CX, HZ crown jewel and some others and their owner, John,( in my opinion) one of the few guys (also on this level Eric Love from Fusion audio and Jonny from Snake River) out there that still provide great real ( not a snake oil) cable products and terrific services.
After auditioning Snake river signature speaker cables in my system I sold Hidiamonds HD8. The hidiamonds just did not sound that open and natural in my system as Snake River and KCI.
Now I am buying the Fusuion Audio Ella speaker cables, but they cost 3 time more than Snake river, but do provide with even more air and more midrange without sacrificing any details.

So my opinion for the money Snake river signature cottonmouth speaker cables are best cables I heard under $2500 range. Don’t hesitate to contact any of those guys, they are terrific to deal with and provide you with the demos to audition. You can contact me off the forum for more details. I don'trepresent any of those brands, just another happy customer.

Denon1, how many hours did you use the hidiamond cables? I currently use the D9 interconnects and the D8 speaker cables. My set up sounds quite holographic. Do the KCI and Snake River combo provide 3D imaging for your soundstage?
