Best Interconnects


I recently put a preamp into my system instead of feeding my Wadia 781i directly into my power amps. Which by the way was a significant improvement. I am now looking for the best interconnect between my Wadia and my SMC-VRE 1 preamp. I am considering Stealth Sakra, Cardas Clear, Kubala Sosna Elation, Tara Labs Zero Gold. Preamp to power amp is Tara Labs Zero Onyx. It is very difficult to evaluate all these cables especially over extended break in periods. Does anyone have experience with several of these cables or similar. Your advice and input would be highly appreciated.

having used several of the cables you mentioned my choice was KS Elation....But then you knew that huh?!
One of my customers has replaced KS Emotion and Elation ICs with Teo Audio Standard series and ordered a pair of the new Reference series speaker cables to replace Elation SCs... The Standard ICs and SCs have beat pretty much everything mentioned in this thread, while the Reference is just freaky insane; it's over in five seconds.
Essentialaudio,
Thanks for your input, I had never heard of these cables but they definitely sound interesting. I read on their website that they wanted to create a cable that would outperform Tara Labs Zero, and they did. That's a fine recommendation at a good price too.
It's impossible to make an answer, too much cable manufacturers on the Earth...
About all suggestion you received my preference goes to Kubala-Sosna Elation that I recently tried (balanced termination) in my system between cd-preamp and preamp-poweramp.
It was better than all others I had tried previously (Kubala S- Emotion, MIT Magnum old version, TRansparent Reference, Fabercables x-solution, Fadelart 1.0, Stealth Indra).
Sometimes there were very slight difference, but Elation seems exceptionally balanced in spectrum frequency (as K-S Emotion, but this latter is less open in highs) also effortlessly dynamic and with a superb focus on voices and instruments. Too much expensive for my budget, but in any case a great choice.
I'm sorry to have no chance to test Nordost Odin or Jena top of the line or Silent Source reference.
cheers

I've been beta testing for a new cable company called "Wywire" and they are absolutely rocking my world. Far, far better than anything I've experienced. They are making a big splash over at audio circle and have a 60 day guarantee. I'd suggest looking into their products.

Their commercial launch is today and I suspect they will be a big deal.
