Kubala-Sosna Cables..... I don't get it ?????

Why aren't these cables more widely used by us audiophiles....??? I've been auditioning these interconnects sent to me from a dealer and these are good.....My other cables on the short list to listen to are the Synergistic Absolute Reference X2's, Purist Audio Dominus....they are sweet, coherent, detailed and not popular.....I don't get it !!! Am I missing something ????? Are they just the flavor of the month cable ????

@jafant   I've tried so many cables, some uber expensive, over the years it makes my head spin. That's because when I get bored with my system cables are one of the first changes I make. That is, until I learned to put my money into better electronics! One of the best cables I owned was the Nordost Tyr2.  I now use Zavfino Fusion XLR interconnects and they do everything well.  A very clear, balanced, and well built cable from a small company that seems to know what they are doing.  The best part is that these cables are relatively inexpensive compared to some of the other top end cables I have tried and liked such as Cardas Clear, WireWorld Gold Eclipse, and Nordost Tyr2.  While I've never tried them, K-S cables have a great reputation.  I've heard them in systems much better than my own.  My advice to you is find a good solid performer that gets out of the way of the music and get off the cable merry-go-round.  Your money is better spent on upgrading source, electronics and music.

@jafant I guess I am pretty late to the Kubala-Sosna party, but this past July I switched the speaker cables and interconnects in my system to that brand and am quite pleased.  I auditioned the Emotion, Sensation, Elation! and Realization lines, eventually settling on the Realization, which I found to give what I consider a nice organic sound.  They replaced my Kimber KS6065 speaker cables and some interconnects that a friend of mine makes.  I also auditioned Cardas Clear Beyond speaker cables but in the end the Realizations were more to my taste.

Thank You for the Zavfino Fusio XLR suggestion. I concur about Cabling that simply allows the Music to play. Certainly, Cardas, Nordost and WW are all Top contenders.


Happy Listening!

Me as well, as I have not heard nor spent time with KS offerings.
I do not have local representation. Whom is your dealer/retailer ?

I have heard Cardas Clear Beyond. Can you elaborate on the sonic differences between Cardas and KS ?

I am looking for ultimate resolution (micro/macro dynamics) in Cables/cords without any sacrifice.

Happy Listening!
