Macm and Kevin - I'm currently using Cardas Golden Cross speaker cables. I also have a pair of Talon speaker cables (can't remember what they call this cable, the Helix or something -- they aren't labeleled; each cable consists of ten separately-insulated copper strand wires braided inside a black woven sheath). Not bad for a newcomer, though the GC seemed to me to be a bit richer and had better bass performance. Concerning Macm's experience with the HT Truth Link, I had a very similar experience with MIT 330+ II's -- they make the Khorus sound a little rolled-off and a little soft and less clear in the mids (like more break-in is needed). Not surprising since the Truth-Link and 330's have some similar sound qualities. The 330's did provide respectable detail, imaging and soundstage (though I suspect this would probably be the case with any decent cable used with the Khorus). The only other cables I've tried with these Khorus are Analysis Plus ICs -- a bit clearer and more extended up top, but not quite as rich or warm in the mids (relative to 330's). Still more enjoyable than the MITs. I have been wanting to try the HT Pro-Silway II ICs with the GC SCs to see if I can get more sparkle up top without sacraficing any richness in the mids. The Harmonic Technology Magic series must also work well with the Khorus since HT used this set-up at CES. (Did anyone get to hear this arrangement?) I've also heard Synergistic Research Designer Ref cables work very well with the Khorus, though they're a bit pricey. Mikeg - Thanks for the Aloia and Audio Tekne tip. I'll see if I can find somewhere to audition these products. I've been wanting to check out the Aloia stuff anyway. To all - please keep me posted on what cable configs and other gear you find to work best in your systems. Don
