I'm looking for suggestions for an interconnect to balance out a somewhat warm/dark system: JoLida 302B RC integrated, Silverline 17.5 monitors and Opera Consonance 120 Linear CD player. Would like a bit more high-end.I replaced AudioArt IC3 with Guerilla Audio Silver and that took me part of the way there. Any other ideas? Thanks!
AT $350, the KCI Firefly pushes the limits of what can be considered affordable for a 1m set of wire, but man, I tell you, that thing will breathe new life into any system you throw it in. I second Arthurs suggestion.
Try Speltz Anti Cables or My Audio Cables (MAC) Both have a minimalist design that deliver great detail but ended up being bright in my system. Both are inexpensive.
In one of my systems, the use of Auricle Audio Design analog IC's from Audiogon member-manufacturer Joemazzaglia has evolved the sound away from "warm/dark" to sunlit, musical, and emotionally involving, highlighted by recovery of every recording detail. Could be the ultimate price/performance champion. His digital IC is also charitably priced while audibly blessing each of my systems having a separate CD transport and DAC. Realitycables.com where Gregg Straley's IC's are on display also provides this kind of revelation that CD's and records really contain a lot more energy and life than one is accustomed to hearing with other companies.
If you don't mind spending less money, I would suggest trying the Morrow Audio MA2 interconnects. Very clear, dynamic, with excellent bass and quite musical. With their moneyback offer, you don't stand to lose anything. No affiliation, just a satisfied customer. Dave
