Willie, you said something very important thing about "proprietary alloys for conductors, which have better conductivity than pure Silver." But KLE says they using OFHC or pure silver conductors, didn't mention about alloys that can better pure silver. Is it true? Once I have tried gZero10, I will write down my impression.
Essence®gZero10 Interconnect cables single ended
I received these IC's about 12 days ago and since then they have been cycling through the burn-in process - i.e. 24 x 7 streaming internet radio.
They already sounded as good as the gZero6 right from the start, but the blurb on the KLE Innovations web site implyed a significant improvement.
It took over 200 hours for them to "break out", but when they did - let's just say it was well worth the wait.
I've been fortunate to have tried the gZero3 on my system and I currently own the gZero6 and having now heard the gZero10's the one thing that stands out about the entire range is their consistency of tone - it just does not change.
So what has improved with the gZero10 ?...
- the dynamics are faster
>>> the gZero6 was excellent, but the gZero10 is significantly faster
- the very fine details have improved- especially the those extremely fine whispery details that contributes to the emotion of a vocal performance and also the mechanical artifacts as the performer depress instrument keys or move up and down the fret/finger board adding to the realism.
- the image is more spacious and accurate - instruments and artists are placed with laser precision but the space around them not only contains artifacts from their instruments, but also those adjacent instruments. It's a much more natural blend.
- the bass is significantly deeper, but extremely well controlled to the point where textures, even in the lowest frequencies can be heard.
But for me, the most convincing improvement is the reproduction of the venue acoustics present in recording of live performances.
One album I have is Julian Bream and John Williams Together. The venue acoustics have always muddied their position on the stage, but the gZero10's have cured that issue and then some - this is perhaps one of the best live recordings I have - now :-)
I have had the opportunity to audition the gZero3 on a friends very nice system and we both agreed they outperformed his far more expensive silver XLR interconnects from a well known brand, so the gZero10's should provide an even better sonic performance on systems capable of extremely high resolution.
If I had to sum up the key qualities of the gZero10 I would have to say they are fast, articulate, spacious, smooth and are able to convey the emotion of the performer and the space of the venue
These IC's are extremely good on my analogue rig, but on my DAC they bring the performance as close to analogue as I will probably get.
Either way, these IC's are excellent performers and will give more expensive cables a run for their money.
Yes, they are a little pricey, but they will probably be the last cables you buy.

And if you do happen to buy a pair - be sure to give them 300 hours burn-in
