KCI Pure Gold and the benefits


Hi Guys just wanted to share my new love for the majic of pure gold interconnects. Ive been through the paces of tring different mid to high grade interconnects in my system and finally tried pure gold. Now the price does vary significantly from pure gold cable to pure gold cable, I picked up the KCI and have really loved what gold did for my modest system compared to pure silver, flat ribbon and tons of different copper. I have read the white papers about silver being a better conductor and even some on why gold is more pleasing to the ear. I feel that gold is more coherent top to bottom than silver but noticed many of my audio friends are using silver still. What is the general feeling and use here amongst guys with the high end of equipment? Are you using gold and does it get even better with higher end equipment?

Rats! You caught me, Pat. Well, I guess I'll have to go the honest route. John e-mailed this morning to tell me that your interconnects are on the way to me. I'll let you know when they arrive and keep you posted on their sound as they go through their further settling into the system. Stay tuned, Dude.
Thanks, Pat. I look forward to enjoying "your" interconnects. What a pal! You're the best, and I mean it!
Okie, dokie! Sounds like an interesting listening session. Don't worry, Pat. I use a glue gun now. Less messy than Super Glue.
Good news, John. If you happen to accidentally send me Pat's interconnects, I told Pat that if I liked them, I might have to accidentally drop them into the Rio Grande. Then I'll yell out, "There's GOLD in that there river!" On the other hand, if I do like them, I can always tell Pat that they suck and I'll just keep them for myself. Just don't tell Pat my plans.

Well, Pat. I've only been listening to your newly upgraded Silkworm+ for 24 hours and already I can tell that these interconnects are "off the map" in sound quality. The midranges, especially voices, are totally mesmerizing. Uh, oh! A truck full of tough-looking guys wearing large Sombreros and carrying what look like AK-47 rifles just pulled up to my house. Gotta go. Looks like trouble. Talk with you later.
Yes, Pat. I'm fine. It was a false alarm. They went to the wrong house. Silkworms are safe and sound.
Your review just came up. Enjoy your new Silkworm+, Howard.

Pat,
I only had your cables playing for a short time, maybe 70 hours on the 1.5M and 20 hours on the 1M, so they'll both need some further break-in before they probably sound their best. I initially had only the 1.5M hooked up from my pre to amp so that I could hear what just the one pair sounded like. Keep us posted on how they sound with more time. I'm glad you're liking your new speakers. Ain't this a fun hobby?
Hi John,
I currently have VAC Musicbloc amps, Audio Horizons 2.0n preamp and Reference 3a monitors.
Hi John,
Yes, my e-mail should be working. I'm using AOL, so there might be an issue. I'll find one of your e-mails and reply. I haven't heard the PHI series, but I'm assuming that they are much better with upgraded parts, etc. The Musicblocs I have are discontined. I have the earlier single-ended only version. At the time, balanced inputs could be included for an additional $500.00, I think. The next generation of Musicblocs came stock with the balanced outputs.
