The oldest wires are some 1980's bulk Mark levinson wire (thin tan Teflon covers, marked 'swiss made') I bought and originally had Radio Shack gold RCA on (back then The gold rat shack was all one could get)
A year or two ago I retipped the wires with Vampire "tiffany" style RCA and started using them again. Closest in sound to the homemade Levinson is Cardas.. FYI
I like to use them in the digital areas... I have seven sets of the Levinson wires, and I will never sell them. i ony wish I had bought MORE of the bulk wire when i had the opportunity.
I have one Cardas set I bought used. It is in use from DAC to tube buffer.
I have Kimber hero 7 meter XLR from preamp to amp
I own some Kimber KCAG I bought many years ago (used) I use them sparingly, as they really need the finest electronics to be worth using.
I use the KCAG from my Audio research Sp-15 (I use it just forthe tubed phono section) I own both XLR and RCA KCAG. And then some PBJ Kimber which i am currently not using
So most of my wires are old. The newest is the 7 meter Hero bought a little over two years ago. (then the replaced RCA on the levinsons.. I bought the RCA shells like five years ago.. and only got around to doing the work last year LOL the Levinson wire just sat in the closet. Now I use them again.)
I use biwired Kinber 8TC for the amp/speakers (Kimber 8TC for the center and front surround in my home theater too)
So i am a Kimber girl. And then Pangea for A/C. Every detachable A/C cord is replaced with Pangea.
