Anybody knows about NBS cables?

Avalon used to use NBS I believe. Now they use FIM. FIM PCs ICs and speaker cable are on a higher level of performance than anything NBS has made. Slawney mentioned Coincident and I agree with his opinion. As good as the Coincident cables are they are no where near the performance of FIM.

Please educate me. What is FIM? Brulee, for context of opinion, what is your system? Thank you.

Soblast, I am intriged by your statment that Harmonic Tech Pro Silway Mk 2 has great midrange warmth. That is the exact opposite of my experience with it and I consider it to me its greatest weakness. What system are you using these with?

I also tried the best Harmonic Tech, XLO, WireWorld and Tara. I don't think any of them had, overall, what the Mon 3s have. The NBS have over 200 hours on them and I'm most satisfied with what I'm hearing--they just keep getting better. And yes, they're spendy, but I belive they're verymuch worth the investment and probably the best NBS value for the buck. I also auditioned the Mon 3 power cords. They add even more of the NBS "non-sound," but we're buying a new house--I'll now have a dedicated listening room--and audio upgrades are on the back burner.

The NBS Monitor I and II are amazing cables. Before fully being fully broken in, they have an added midrange warmth. After about 150 hours of playing time, they open up. They allow tremedous amount of detail to pass through. The sound is never bright but very detailed and 3D. Very dynamic, solid powerful bass. The NBS Monitor I and II cables replaced Cardas Golden Reference and Golden Cross in my system. Before I purchased these NBS cables, I did compare them to the Nirvina S-X Ltd. These NBS cables allow my system to have more clear midrange quieter background reveal more hidden details. More powerful and solid bass. There is no comparison. The Cardas cables are in the distant 3rd place. The image became very fuzzy, with a soft more bloated bass by comparison. My system: Muse Model 8 and 296, CAT Ultimate preamp, Krell FBP 300, B&W Nautilus 802, PS Audio PP300, Shunyata King Cobra, ESP Essence, NBS Monitor I and II cables
