characteristics between these

I'll second the response with Hero, good solid cable that maintains air and space in the soundstage. I also have to put in a vote for Kimber PBJ in terms of clarity and air. A good combination for me is Kimber Select 1011 upstream and PBJ between preamp and amps. The select is round, full-bodied and very very smooth and the PBJ adds clarity, air and a little bite for excitement. Two runs of either is too much. I find they balance each other nicely.....tuning the system you might say.

Anti-Cables are quite good. Also outstanding are DNM Reson with Eichmann bullet plugs. I used both to great effect. Hero is good too, though I liked the aforementioned better.

Thank you all very much for your response.

I'm off to have fun with some ICs. :)
