I have a Conrad Johnson PV-11 preamp paired with a Musical Design D-150 amp. I bought a 3 meter pair of Audioquest Viper because I needed a long run between amp and preamp. To make a long story short, I am not impressed with the Viper at all. The highs lacked that last bit resolution and the bass was a little tubby. They are just not that exciting. I have since moved the pair to a second system that also needed a long run. Everyone since has said that I should have ordered the Python instead (Teflon tube insulation). I ended up with Nordost Red Dawn.
Audioquest IC's for tubed separates.
I'm running a C-J PV12al paired with a Premier 11a and I'm interested to hear if anyone's had any experience using Audioquest IC to provide the links between their tubed pre, sub and tubed amp.
I've read that some people have had less than desirable results using two runs of Audioquest ICs in the same system - basically the end result being a veiled image.
I'm toying w/ Corals & Pythons, but before shelling out the cash, I'm curious to hear any feedback.
As for budget, I'm trying to keep things under $700 for two 2m runs (which may be tough to do).
Thanks in advance for any insight.
