KCI Pure Gold and the benefits

Spiro great post! I agree with you. Im sorry I havent followed up on my post but I have been doing something I havent done for years- listening and not surfing the internet for opinions on a new upgrade to make it enjoyable again. I couldnt be happier now and rx8man I eargerly await your full opinion once you got more hours with them. Sounds like you are already having a similar opinion as I do.

Rx8man,
Glad they made it to you safe and sound. They are extremely musical aren't they, I agree whole heartdly(sp?). Even though they have been on the cooker if you give them a little time you will notice that they will still open up more as well as present more detail. Not sure what the deal is with pure gold being treated on a cable cooker; very hard to figure out the right amount of treatment. 24 hours seems to be the maximum amout of time to treat them or else they can sound shouty and a little blurry/muddy for a little while. Gold is odd but sounds wonderful. Thanks again for buying my cables and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime. I'm looking very forward to your thoughts as they begin to settle down and open up.

Spiro,
I have found the opposite effect with gold IF, and thats a big if, you go through the effort of having very pure gold wire pulled. I started with 14K wire and went from there, couldn't help but notice that as the gold became more pure the sound was more pure. Hence me decinding to use the 99.998% gold. Topping them off with Eichmann's Silver Bullets really brings everything together very well. Some of the Cardas as well as the WBT next gens are right there as well but cost prohibitive. I wanted to make the best sounding cable for the least amount of money I could.

I see that you make cables as well, gold plated silver. Are you using vermeil?

Stiverii,
I'm glad you have now had a chance to just sit down and "Enjoy the Music", that's what it's all about. Since we're in the same area, we'll have to meet up again sometime and do some more listening. Enjoy and if you need anything or have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime.

Sincererly,

Mazda Man, you're making a big mistake making cable decisions while living in an electrically noisy townhouse complex. We've discussed this many times: your particular power filter, no matter how expensive and fancy looking, is a substandard product. Fix the power, then choose the cables.

Psychic,

Lots of folk live in crappy electrically supplied huts, you do what you can to get by.

I don't have my OWN dedicated transformer hung on a pole,
unless your some rich guy or have friends in higher places from the utility company.

My **Fancy** power filter suits my system, my ears and a lot of other folks that came by for a listening session, that's all that matters to me (for now) OK ?

I'll split a plane ticket for you, come up and listen, you'll think twice about this, DEAL ??

Like I said, I'll take these cables to your buddies in Indiana this Summer.

Remember, a "little" coloration in a good way ?? suit to taste ?? huh ??

Have a nice day on paradise island, I'll survive the rust belt for a while longer.

I would have to disagree with you Psychicanimal. Most of us on this forum live in "electrically noisy" areas. Care to explain your conclusion a little more?
