Pure Note Paragon vs. Kimber Select

Okay, how about some thoughts on the Pure Note Paragon?

There are three different Kimber Select products, specifically, all copper, copper/silver hybrid, and all-silver, and each is made as interconnects and speaker cables. Each sounds slightly different.

Because the performance of interconnects and speaker cables is heavily dependent upon their synergy with the other components in a system, the only comparison that matters is how each performs in your system (or in a system exactly identical to yours). To that end, buy both, break them in thoroughly so you know they are performing as intended, and keep the one that sounds best. To choose cabling any other way is gambling.

Raquel, if there were only two cables in the world, your advice makes some sense. The fact is there are hundreds. The point of these forums is to get multiple reports based on others' experiences in order to narrow it down a bit. I imagine the original poster of this thread is doing just that.

It may seem to you like gambling, but following your advice I would bet on all the horses in the race to ensure that I won.

Probably too new to tell yet on Paragons. I have had mine (interconnects) for about a week and they are a much better match in my system. The Pure Note Cerulean was excellent but the Paragon is really a step up and they cost a little less. I have compared these to more expensive brands, Nordost and Siltech, and the Pure Notes are as good or better for far less money. Worth a try IMO.
