Cables for ML380S/ML332/Res Aud CD-55

Heh, Thanks all for the imput. On point, off point and to the point. It's a delight to read the thoughts and experiences of each and your recommendations. And to be sure, I love the personal banter. Life ain't nothing without a cock fight! I have found the Cardas Golden Cross interconnects between the CD and the pre-amp "too soft and fleshy" in detailed orchestral music. It seems to lack the fiber that I hear in other's systems. I will report the change with the Kimber's which should arrive tommorrow. Again, all imput appreciated. Bill E.

Hi Carl-eber Sounds like you have found a great combination for you. I don't have much listening time on Krell amps. How do you describe their strengths vs Levinson? Also, please share which speakers you use. Best wishes.

Hi Doug28450 Since you're planning to upgrade to Ultra's, please share with me what limitations/problem(s) still need solving with the TA SB and SS cables. Also, where are the strengths of your current set up. You didn't mention which speakers you're using. Please do. Best wishes.

Hi Doug28450 I've had a similar experience with slightly different goods. I started with class C goods. I then listened to class A and got the bug. I bought the ML332/ML38S and the Dunlavy's without hearing the system together. I had a pair of MIT750plus mono wire speaker cable and Sonic Euphoria RCA interconnects which I put between the CD player and the pre-amp. I got a pair or Magnan Vi balanced interconnects on a recommendation to go between the pre/amp and amp. I also have a pair of Cardas Golden Cross balance interconnects which go between the cd player and the pre-amp to tone down bad cd's. What's lacking is incredible detail without brightness. I have a set of Kimber Bi-focal biwires in transit to me which may enhance the lower mid range, but I've been told often that silver wire may be WAY TOO BRIGHT with my combination of pieces. I have not heard the TA speaker cables, so I am interested in your experience. I have heard the Purist Audio Colossus biwire cables and they're great. Too bad I couldn't find a 20 foot pair. I am upgrading my ML38S to a ML380S currently. I hesitate when I write I hope that this will gel. Ain't that the rub! I'm sure the additions will have a life of their own. Thanks for the imput. Best wishes, Bill Eichengrun

Hi Carl. It just so happens that I just got a pair of Discovery plus 4 RCA's and find them slightly more detailed and open than the Cardass. Why don't you get back to me with your experience. Thanks. Bill E.

The Kimber Bifocal xl's arrived today and the result is amazing. The sound became more open spaceous and natural. The brassyness which had occurred when I switched interconnects was reduced dramatically. While the Discover plus 4 RCA interconnects show slightly more detail in the mid and upper ranges, just slightly, than the Cardas Golden Cross XLR's between the RA55 and the ML38(I am returning the ML38S and have bought an upgrade to ML380S which I am awaiting) I am astonished how the Kimber's have pulled together the system in the direction I have been looking for. Now, I need to wait for the 380S upgrade and do the same thing with the interconnects. All thoughts appreciated. Thanks, Bill
