The Maestro is very full thru the mids and upper bass.They have a bit of a rising top-end.Maybe that is off setting the SPMs which are slightly softer through the top-end.
Maybe instead of the SWs+SPM,try a different combo.Or single manufacturer to obtain a better synergy.
Since we cannot gauge the contribution of your tube pre,can you comment on tube compliment and brands being used?

Another friend suggested Kimber Kable Hero that is the price range of Straight Wire. Any thoughts on those who have used Kimber Hero in the past or present?
I had (and still have) a Straight Wire Virtuoso R and a Kimber Cable 1020 Select interconnects (each purchased approx. 10 years ago).
Sonically, they are totally different (the Straight Wire has a full bodied "sound", with rounded and colored midrange, very musical, with excellent slam... The Kimber is leaner and more extended...
I remember when I received the Straight Wire I was frustrated because it replaced the earlier SW Virtuoso Gold (which, I guess, is similar to Maestro) which was better and more organic with my then existing set-up...
Hello and thank you for the adjectives describing what the cables sounded like.
Was curious if someone had a good comparison and this is the best yet I have received. How would you rate the Straight Wire Maestro to the latest Virtuoso R - if you have heard them?
The home brew tube preamp sounds exactly like an Audible Illusions 2D.
I like the idea of a change in cables if it produces what I heard by just changing the DAC to preamp when I used the SW Maestro II.
