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'd try the Kimber Kable first with C/J.

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.

Call John Pharo at The Cable Company and ask him. THe Cable Company has a cable library that you can access and try different cables in your own system to hear for yourself.
