I finally found the time for extended listening to the Klee Acoustics Model One interconnects. There are "statement" interconnects I have not heard so I can't say that the Klees are "the best". But they are better than all of the premium interconnects I've used or heard including my Vitus Andromedas. The folks at Stereo Times who reviewed the Klee cables (Clement Perry and company) got it right based on my listening. The Klee interconnects are the most transparent and musical cables I have heard to date, and they drop the noise floor creating the illusion of increased volume. These are keepers and I will have to figure out how to get my hands on a pair of the speaker cables.

Which cables/power cords have you owned previously?
I've owned or own:
Interconnects: Audioquest Sky, Vitus Andromeda, Acoustic System, Cerious Technologies Nano Reference, Combak Harmonix GP
AC Cables: Kubala Sosna Emotion, Tara Labs The One, Comback Harmonix, Acoustic System, Verastarr Grand Illusion, Isoclean Supreme Focus, Bybee, Lessloss Signature.
See Inmate Systems for my current system.
Too many toys, not enough time or money. I haven't heard the Vitus cables either.
I have heard PAD, Tara Labs, Cardas, Kubala, Nordost, Stealth, High Fidelity, Acoustic Zen, Audience, Analysis Plus, Audioquest, MIT, Transparent, Jade Audio, KCI, Snake River, Kimber, Shunyata, JPS Labs, among others. Have you heard any of these that you could compare the Klee to?
I've owned Harmonix GP, Cerious Nano Reference, Acoustic System Liveline, Audioquest Sky, and Vitus Andromeda. Of these the Vitus were the best I've heard and replaced my Sky's. The Klee are more transparent and natural sounding than the Vitus - like there is no cable inserted. They are the best interconnects I've owned and the best I've heard, but there are many I haven't heard.
I've heard Cardas Clear and Kubala Sosna Emotion in friends' systems. From memory both are a little veiled compared with the Klee. I have not heard the current crop of statement cables - e.g., Tara Gold, Kubala Sosna Elation, Audioquest WBY or WEL, etc.
Very nice- CB. Which AC cord did you like?
The Isoclean Supreme Focus is the best AC cord I've ever owned or heard by a wide margin. I found one at a great price but haven't seen another one up for sale. I use it from the wall to my power conditioner. It was also the best cord on my Pathos TT amp, but weighed too much for my Modwright Sony 5400ES on a Townsend Seismic Sink. I use the much lighter Audio Magic Clairvoyant Liquid Air AC cord on the Sony transport. It is an extraordinary cord in this application - extremely analogue sounding, but didn't provide enough current for my Pathos amp. The other cords that I really like are the flat ribbon Verastarr Grand Illusion cords. I have been using the copper one on my Pathos amp, and I am testing a silver one. The Vitus Andromeda AC cord is a great sounding cord if you can find one, and I really like the Cerious Nano Reference AC cords on my 2nd system - they are a great value.

Thanks! for shaharing CB.
Well of those that you've mentioned, I've owned the Cerious Technologies Nano Reference and Audioquest Sky, as well as the K-S Emotion, Tara Labs The One interconnects and power cords.
Currently, I am pretty satisfied with High Fidelity CT-1 and CT-1E cables and Elrod EPS-2/3S power cords.
