IC´s:Stealth Indra, Prana Cosmos or Kubala

What are you looking to accomplish or change? What are your sonic preferences? I have Kharma speakers and used to have Valhallas. Although I liked them, I found that Silversmith Palladiums and Kharmas own Enigma ICs gave me more robust sound with a richer harmonic texture and without getting muddy or overly dark sounding. It was like I was getting more "audio" pixels on my sonic screen. Now this suggestion also has to be taken in the context of the rest of my system which may be more synergistic with the cables I mention than yours might be.

Emigene,

Rprince and eddkale both make good points. As Rpince pointed out, your gear is very neutral and detailed so if that is your sonic preference - maybe the Valhalla is best. (then again, I realize we love to try new stuff to see if we can improve things). I forgot to mention that I have tried the Kubala Sosna Emotions and echo Rprince's opnion of them vis a vis the Valhallas.

Eddkale probably makes the best point - with all the options, the only way to really know is to trust your ears and audition them if you can.

If you want to e-mail me off line, we can get more into it since we are both Kharma owners and I assume you like the Kharma sound. I tried a LOT of cables and some were better than my current cables when I had my solid state EMM preamp in the system. Conversely, when I put my tube preamp in the system, the Palladiums and Kharma Enigma trounced the other cables (and yes, I DO mean trounced!). My point being that cables and ICs are very system dependent and changing just one component may change your preferences on cables. So, since I have different associated gear, my choices may not work for you.
