need your help again.............


i now know there is something to upgrading interconnects and speaker wire. my dilema is for the pre to pwr amp connect which is better. i am thinking of kimber kable hero, and audioquest king cobra or diamond back. they both seem to have good reviews. any one that has had dealings with these two are others in this price point let me know. i also like cardas cables as well. i have a conrad johnson 2300a and 2500a power amp and pv10a and pv12 preamp.

I've heard dozens of different IC's and cables of every flavor in my system. I have a fellow audiophile that has a very nice system also. We try cables of all sort in each others system.
Most of the time the cable that works best in his system sounds like crap in mine. It goes the other way around also.
Every once in awhile one sounds good in both.
What I'm trying to say is no one can tell you what will work in your system.
Just start with a cable, if it works keep it. If it doesn't, buy another and try it until you find the golden ring.
Kimber Kable. Kimber line is at least consistent. Pay more, get more. Audioquest is not. Should consider the Signal Cable and MAC lines also. I've enjoyed decades of playing with cables and these two are very cost effective.
I couldn't agreed more with what Zmanastronomy was saying. When asked for any type of reviews Amp/Pre/IC keep this in mind, no 2 systems sound the same. The makeup of the rest of your system is so different from others that even with the same IC the results may vary. I have heard both Kimber Hero and AQ King Cobra, given a choice I'll take the Kimber for more balanced sound.
When I ran c-j ss gear, I liked StraightWire and WireWorld interconnects and speaker cables, but I really, really like the Goertz MI speaker cables.
