Should I end my search


I will preface my statements by saying I have never really heard significant differences in cables until I changed my powercords. The aforementioned experience has led me to search for cables to complete my current system. Based on a recommendation I started my search with Silver Audio. I received Silver Audio's Jet Stream and Appassionata inter-connect a couple of days ago. In addition, I received Symphony 48 speaker cable. I have the Jet Stream going from CD player to preamp and Appassionata from preamp to amp. Prior to Silver Audio, I had Kimber Hero inter-connect and Clear Day Audio Double Shotgun speaker cable. I began by having my wife listen to some of her favorite music with the lights off. She immediately said, “That I changed something”. It was apparent from the first note something was different. I don’t want to exaggerate, but this is what I heard: Soundstage bigger, detailed, but smoother than before, bass fuller, more defined soundstage, inner detail that was missing before, at one point my wife said “that she could almost see the singer move closer to the mike”, I believe that was the result of the cable’s ability to highlight subtle changes in dynamics. Since this is the first relatively expensive cable that I’ve heard, should I listen to other cables.

Ricred1,
You and your wife seem quite pleased with the improved sound per these cables. If you`re enjoying your music, feel fortunate and forget the grass on that other side on the audio hill.
You and yours have bit the apple. It's too late to stop now. No matter how sensible it is to stop while you are ahead you will have to prove to yourself that another change won't improve matters. The only way to do that is to go out and buy some more highly recommended cables and find that they are no better than what you have now.

The best advice ever on Audiogon! I am happy, just trying to tweak my system.

One gift that I have is to be able to listen and learn from others, but make my own decisions. I have never bought anything based on recommendations or before hearing it with my own ears. My dealer has recommended many things over the years and if I didn't like what I was hearing, I returned the item. The problem is that I found something that had better synergy with my equipment than I had. I present the information to the vast experience on Audiogon, in hope that someone has listen to Silver Audio and compared them to other cables. Of course I take everything with a grain of salt. In addition, I understand that everyone has preferences, different hearing, and different systems that can skew their conclusion. I seek knowledge and have learned many things over the past 20 years in this "hobby".
Fla,
I know I won’t return to Kimber Hero. I have listened to music all day and it sounds more natural than ever before. Detailed, but not as bright as with the other cables, very smooth sounding. Now I understand what people mean when they say music emanates from a darker background. I decided to try Transparent Audio Plus and Ultra cables before I make my final decision.
