WASATCH ULTAMA For 4000 / Any Experience?

Hi,

FYI....info: at www.wasatchcableworks.com

For $4000 I should be able to find out more about them...but I can't. This might be a little backwards, because I already own the cables, (it's a long story) but they are brand new and I haven't even plugged them in to my system yet. (wrong terminations)

Does anybody have experience with these ULTAMA cables? I know the matching interconnects are supposed to be very good. My current system is Audio research preamp-Mcintosh tube amp and Proac speakers. Currently I use Kimber 8TC DO these cables sound like a good match for my system? Basically...any knowledge or experience with these cables is appreciated.

Thanks

The ULTAMA are not bad cables but I'm keeping my Purist Audio Design which I prefer hands down. By the way, Audio Research tube gear and ProAc speakers make for a great combination. However, Kimber 8TC has always sounded a little bright and thin to me.

I don't know if this helps, I do have the Ultama interconnects, and they are wonderful for the $$. As far as speaker cables go, I have not heard the ultama, but I have heard the 205 -- they were pretty nice... If anything they were a bit on the dark side of nuetral with Audio Research gear... Very nice cables for the $$

I have no experience with their speaker cables, but I am very pleased with the RCA-105 interconnect cables I own and would assume the performance of the speaker cables will follow suit. The 105's are very nice sounding for the money by my estimate. Detailed yet relaxed; a sound that should mate well with tube gear.
