Have you found cable Nirvana? Tell me about it.


Have you found cable Nirvana? I am not talking about just interconnects, but speaker cables and power cables as well. I am interested in hearing what cables are giving you this Nirvana state of being. I am considering changing out cables and I want to hear some actual real world solutions for hi-end systems. Cables that personally interest me are:

Nordost Valhalla
AZ Silver Reference II
Audience 24
Jena Labs (not sure name of line)
Virtual Dynamics Nite

Currently I use Nordost Quatrofil XLR. I can now go with SE RCA cables.

I am open to any and all opinions. I want some ideas, and to hear any comparisons that you have done.

Whatever cables you love, please talk about their merits and the equipment you are using them with.

Thanks,

I changed from Kimber Hero ics and 4tc speaker cables to AZ Matrix Ref ics (mkI upgraded by AZ - Robert Lee to mk II) and Satori speaker cables. I am amazed at the change in my system. Highs opened up and gained detail, mids are fluid and natural(although the mids were probably the strong point of the Kimber), and the bass gained clarity(tightness and pacing). I always felt that the Kimbers had a musical sound, but the bass needed more control and the highs needed some extension/detail. Acoustic Zen solved both of these problems.
