I am late to the party in terms of discovering KCI silkworm cables. There are so many "homegrown" cables on the market today that are being touted as being great that I've tuned out the hype and stayed away from auditioning any of them. I only tried KCI cables after a fellow A-goner and friend coerced me into giving them a try. Boy, am I glad I did!
I have NEVER, and I mean NEVER had an interconnect take my system to a level like this on its own...all by itself! The sound I'm getting is incredible, out worldly, crazy, crazy good! It excels in SO many areas I don't know where to start! Let me detail what I'm hearing:
-A livelier pace and rhythm that keeps your foot tapping all through the song!
-Along with this comes great bass detail and depth. I'm hearing bass lines as well as detail in the bass I never heard before.
-The way it organizes and separates instruments in the soundstage, fully delineating and unraveling complex musical lines so you can hear each instrument and exactly what its doing in the background!
-Vocals, vocal, vocals! What air and naturalness. It opens the vocal up so you can hear everything! its organic, palpable and natural sounding with a touch of air and breathiness.
-The extra detail is phenomenal and its across the entire frequency range not just in one area. I'm hearing things in the mid-range that my other ic's just weren't able to resolve and send to my speaker cables.
-A relaxation to the entire presentation but again with great PRAT and flow. Just unbelievable.
-The treble is just lovely. Brushes on the snare drum are finely textured, you can hear the individual strands. Tingly these like triangles just pop!
Not only is this cable great in terms of checking off all of the "audiophile qualities" we crave, its just down right enjoyable to listen to!
The only other cable type component I've ever had in my system that produced sonic improvements of the same magnitude (actually to a greater magnitude) was the Elrod Gold statement version 2 power cord. That was akin to adding a reference component in my system. But its 3 x the price of the KCI silkworm + so it should give better performance.
My highest compliments to John Prator at KCI. Great product!
