interconnect brand/model attributes????

I've heard the Kubala Sosna Emotion, they will give you more of a 3-D soundstage than the Gabriel (Rapture), but I think they will actually have less high end extension than the Gabriel. I haven't heard the MAC Pallidiums.

I don't know what your price range is, but the best interconnects I've heard as far as 3-D staging AND high end extension are the Stealth Indra or even the Metacarbon if the Indra is out of range.

jmcgrogan2,
so the kubala's are almost on par with gg rapture? price point i think the gg maybe considerably less than ks's emotion. i recently saw a pair of raptures sell for <200 pair..

Dvdgreco, I would say that tonally they are similar, the GG Rapture's may be slightly more extended in the high's and the K-S fuller in the bass. As far as soundstaging goes, the K-S had a deeper more 3 dimensional stage, more similar in this regard to Purist Audio Design cables.

Jmcgrogan2,
In another thread concerning ridge street RCA cables you mentioned they are more forward in sound. If looking for::: If OTOH you are looking for vibrant tonal colors, musicality, bass weight, a deep 3-D soundstage or such, you may be better off looking elsewhere.... What cables should I look into for this type of presentation?

Can you supply a quick list?

Cardas, Purist Audio Design and Kubala-Sosna sound like what you are looking for if you are looking for more vibrant tonal colors, musicality, bass weight, a deep 3-D soundstage.
