i"m looking for interconnects that will sound beter from
the XLO 1.1 that i"m use today.
the XLO are a little thin to me.
my amp is MARK LEVINSON 23.5 and my pre is LEVINSON NO.26
the cd player is BAT.
i love the sound netural,dynamic,well balanced,with "body"
and clarity.
thanks.

hi glen!
..and what do you need? you shoud go and listen the EXTREMA'S and begin to learn something in audio and music!
I've tried quite a few different brands. Nordost i/c's seem to have greater transparency and detail than anything else I've tried (ocos, harmonic tech, mit, analysis plus, monster, wireworld).
It's expensive, but you do see results with it. IMHO their red dawn's at $200 a piece are the bargain ic of the century.
I am currenty runing a pair of Clarity Wires "FoxFire" Silver IC's and they are very nice, read the reviews in Vacuume tube valley issue #16 i think. They prefered the sound over kimber silverstreak which was the other best cable. They can be found at www.responseaudio.com and are really great cables imho. CHeck em out!

BTW i have no relation to either responseaudio or clarity wires, just a happy listener.
The Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference ICs are a must audition. They flesh out the midrange incredibly well, and this may fill your requirement for "body." You may also consider trying the Silver Reference between your CD and preamp and the Matrix Reference between the pre and amp, as this may yield the best of both worlds in terms of dynamics, detail, and midrange presentation. Best of luck.

My .02. I have Levinson gear. I am using Pure Note. Mr. Tekunda (posts in this forum) has convinced me to try Valhalla but maybe my next cable should be Gen. 5 if I see my inheritance. Try a bunch and see for yourself.
