Any Boulder pre/power amp users here?

Soon I'll get a Boulder pre/power combo and wonder what the Boulder owners use for the IC's. My dealer said Boulder specifically recommends to use its own cables, which are somehow very cheap compared to their amps. I have no idea what these cables are and wonder if these cables are as good as other high-end cables which we know.

So, I'd like to know if anybody tried any Boulder IC's from CD/DAC to the preamp and pre to power and compared them to other cables.

Also what would you use as speaker cable from Boulder poweramp to Wilson Audio Maxx2?

Thanks

Boulder doesnt´manufacture cables. On most occasions (ehibitions) Boulder uses TaraLabs top-of-the-line cables (Omega and Zero) together with Avalon speakers and I think DCS CD/SACD-Transport.

A friend of mine has got a full Boulder, TaraLabs set up but uses ACapella Sphäron Excalibur speakers and a no longer manufactured Barclay X-1 CD-Transport.
Hope this helps.

Rick. Looking foreward to your forthcoming 865 integrated and hopefully a matching series 800 CD/DVD-player.

rich: thanks for the info. I just bought a pair of 865 monos to replace my Ayre V-1xe and I must say: I´m pretty amazed (a very good match with my Avalon speakers and my Audio Aero cd-player). Well done!
