Stereovox cables, anyone?


I am really curious about these cables both the SEI-600 ic and LSP-600 speaker cables. I haven't heard from many users other than their HDXD digital cable which is supposedly a great value, small wonder coming from the designer of Kimber's Illuminati D-60 which I still use and found a great value.

Both the above cables are quite pricey but Todd Warnke did a great review of both and found them to be so uniquely special in that they allow the music to come through without seemingly imparting a signature of their own. I am only aware of a few folks that are familiar with these cables and they all put them right up there with the special products found in our hobby.

Can anyone out there comment and offer their impressions compared to similiarly priced cables in a familiar system? Please list others you have compared to and if possible a description of the differences. Thanks all participants in advance.

I have recently switched from Kimber Select 3035 to Stereovox LSP-600 speaker cables. I had an opportunity to audition both of these cables in my system before purchasing through my dealer. My system consists of Levinson Reference gear (32, 31.5, 30.6), 33H monoblock amplifiers, Revel Salon loudspeakers, and SME Model 10 turntable, 309 tonearm and Sumiko Celebration cartridge. Cold and unbroken in, the Stereovox cables sounded richer, more alive, with better resolution and a larger soundstage than the Kimber Selects. The bass has never been so agile. The pace of the music (toe tap test) is improved. The overall tonal balance is the best I have ever heard, with all musical selections and formats. This was not a subtle difference, but a very large difference. The Kimber Select cables have been in my system for three years, and are very very good. But the Stereovox cables are that much better. It was like inserting a much better sounding pre-amplifier into my system. These cables are that good. Now if I can only afford the interconnects.

Hope this information helps you.
