Interconnect Cables


My components are set. Now I'm tinkering with cables. I tried a couple different power cords and although I heard differences I decided to keep what I have. Now I'm looking for suggestions to compare to my Wireworld Platinum Eclipse 7 interconnect cables. I'm looking for cables below $2K per meter.

You guys don't seem to know what is possible with silver and silver alloy wires. Listen to Purist Audio Dominus, Echole and Stage III cables. Yes, silver is difficult to make sound right in certain aspects, but so is copper in other aspects. Word, mostly European word, has it that the current very best copper cables are Tchernov Cable Ultimate.
Purist Neptune is on a warmer side but it is not excessively warm at all. And it is not slow, it is just right. It is also neither forward nor laidback. Connectors are berrilium copper gold plated. Sound stage has an incredible depth and layering. Very balanced and harmonically correct. Sophisticated sound. It does not have the ultimate resolution and high frequency extension, but we are not talking about top of the line cables. It should be perfect for jazz and any kind of acoustic music. Even more so with a digital source.
Purist Neptune single crystal fluid cable would be the first one for me to try. Street price should be about $1500 for 1 meter pair. I believe, comparable Echole or Stage III models are more expensive and more difficult to sell back if you have to. But also, I think Jeff always recommends Cardas for his amps, so perhaps they too in this case.
I use Neptune between solid state phono stage and integrated.
Without knowing anything about your system, taste and kind of music you listen to, I'll just list the brands I myself am interested in: Purist Audio, Echole, Stage III, maybe Kubala Sosna and HB cables as well. Some Furutech perhaps too, not sure.
