Kubala-Sosna versus Nirvana SX-Ltd

I'm running Nirvana SX-Ltd IC's in part of my Preamp to Amp run and love it there. Great imaging, speed and musicality. To each their own......

I ordered an SX speakercable since I'm very pleased with the SL.... let's get our fingers crossed !

The interconnect was the biggest disappointment although I wasn't very impressed with the speaker cable either. I tried both in high efficiency SET systems as well as more conventional systems. These products are considerably overpriced.

Vinylvalet, are you talking about the SX speaker cable?

Why does Kharma not use their own cables when doing a demo? Hmmmm

I haven't heard any K-S product but found the Nirvana SX-Ltd disappointing in several different systems. It wasn't hard to find other alternatives that I preferred, in almost every case for substantially less money. I'm currently using Grover UR5 interconnects and UR speaker cable in my main system (Walker/Shelter/PhD, Herron VTSP-2, Yamamoto A-08, Avantgarde Duo 3.2). Good luck.

You're right. In fact, I replaced with the Expression. But I tried the Fascination. I think the Expression is a good buy. I like both the K-S SC and PC....but so so for the IC.

There is actually another level between Fascination and Emotion, the Expression series which I believe is priced between the two. All three make up what they're calling their RevolutionZ Series. They also have two other series below the Fascination.

I have never yet try out the Nirvana. But I replaced my Golden Reference with K-S Fascination SC. Sound much more neutral, detail and musical. Joe Kubala had a 30 days free trial. The next level up is Emotion, a much much better cable and more money.

I did replace my Cardas Golden Reference with K-S Fascination speaker cables. I love it, very neutral, detail and musical. I never tried a chance to try the Nirvana yet.
