Hi, Has Mtrycraft been around yet? Uh oh... Briefly, this December past
I began to build a decent mass market HT setup. I run a 16 screen
theatre here in Miami but usually am too tired to go back to work on a
day off and watch something. I've had some original Kimber and Sonic
Puritys in my 14 yr STEREO rig, so whether it's the placebo effect, or
better sound, I've been a practioner of "better cables, better sound." I figured I'd get good cables for the DVD and DTS processor that I
bought and I've also begun revamping my STEREO using GT tube stuff, but I've been able to purchase, at roughly 50%+ off retail, these silver
cables. I am currently running a pair of Kimber KCAGs between my Hafler
amp and GT SEP1 SE. When the new GT amp get's installed I plan to do
some swapping out with a pair of Nordost Red Dawns and a pair of D. Linn's
Silver Audio's Silver Bullets 4.0, which are in route as we speak. I'm fairly ignorant as to vocabulary and discerning the subtlies in
sound due to cables, and it might just be that the Hafler stuff just isn't
that revealing. Hopefully I can give you some ideas on sonic qualities
in a week or so. The main point of my post is to suggest that whatever cable you
choose, look for them used. One can't really damage them too badly. I
got my 1.5m KCAGs for $360 delivered ($610), 1m Red Dawns for $210 ($400)
and the Silver Bullets for $130 ($225). There have been others as well,
but you're asking about silver. I also have a bead on some Siltech silver
ST-38s for $375 a pair and they retail for over $700, however I still need
a rack and I'm ordering the Ah! Tjoeb '99 cdp today and I can't afford to
keep going beserk. Good luck and buy used, Chris
