Top Ten Interconnects of all time...

A tip of the hat to FERRARI...(and to those great auto's!). I have enjoyed the "Top Ten" threads...So,.. What is you favorite Interconnect cables of all time? I will start this off with the following candidates...Wireworld Gold Eclipse III, Cardas Golden Reference, Nirvana S-L and S-X, Nordost Quattrofil..and the rest is up to you.

We'd better add FIM Gold series to the list.

i suggested the Coincident IC 5 months ago and now that this cable is fullu broken in +500 hours it is up there with the best.My previous favorite was Wireworld Eclipse Gold III and the Coincident are every bit as good.My least favorite is the Quattro Fil.This cable just does not do it.I had it with the Wireworld,Audioquest Opal and JPS Supperconductor on nite with a bunch of people and it was consistently the least favorite of all.The Coincident bettered them all.At 299.00 its a steal.

I agree with Leafs about the Coincident. I absolutely love mine. The best copper cable I have come across. Would like to compare it to the Kimber Select copper IC. This Kimber is also suprisingly affordable. Just because a cable doesn't cost $2000, doesn't preclude it from being the best.

My home brew-silver-copper-teflon-wbt(knock off)-braided design. I can make a great pair of interconnects for $30 that will please me as much as $500(+). Those that pay more for name brands (in many cases) are paying much more than they need to.

FIM GOLD, Coincident, and Kimber Select "Black Pearl". The KS "BP" is a bit more system dependent because of the tendency to move the center image further back behind the plane of the speakers, but it's unsurpassed in certain areas. The Coincident is great (after a rather long burn-in)especially considering the cost, and the FIM Gold (though stiff)is amazing. Just my .02
