You know, I got off the IC merry go round a few years, and I have really been happy with the results. I kept buying used interconnects and trying them out, and although I could hear some difference, the higher up I went on the price scale, the less difference, especially positive I could hear.
I have a Maggie based system, and they tend to be a bit dry sounding, so I have a tube preamp, and like to use all copper interconnects. I think these two elements add warmth to my system.
I wholeheartedly would recommend Kimber Hero inteconnects. I tried many of the higher end Kimber, Cardas, Audioquest, Nordost and Wireworld cables, and kept coming back to the Kimber Hero's. I tried some of the Anti-cables too (sounded bright to me), and Homegrown Audio Silver Lace (these didn't sound bright in my system, liked them alot actually), as alternatives to the mainstream companies, and still liked the Kimbers.
Good luck.
