Need interconnect between Nagra pre to power amp

kharma cables

I only have personal experience regarding the Eclipse and the Coincident, but based on that experience plus the prevailing scuttlebut on the Valhalla, all the cables you mention are good choices at their price points. However, the prices of these cables are extremely disparate ($300 for the Coincident, $600 for the Eclipse, and $3300 for the Valhalla). Do you have a particular budget in mind? If cost is not an issue, I'd certainly recommennd demoing the Valhalla in your system. Another cable you might want to consider is the Silversmith Audio IC.

I use the Gold Eclipse III+ between pre/power-amp. It's about as close as it gets to a direct connection, and should get you to stop thinking about cables for quite a while. At $1200/one meter pair they are not cheap, but used examples do pop up here occasionally. (I got mine for $600)

dcaudio: i have heard both the nagra ss (mpa) and tube amps (vpa) connected to the nagra pl-p and tube line stage using tara, the one and the zero, as well as other ic's. i preferred the tara to all others. i own the one; when i upgrade it will likely be to the zero. BTW, i think the nagra audio products are first rate. if i had the $$ just now, i'd quite seiously consider buying the mpa to replace my jrdg (the vpa's won't drive my speakers, unfortunately).-cfb

I have Nagra system (VPA&PL-P) tried many cables,
Nordost (not Valhalla),Purist Audio Proteus, Cardas and Siltech. Best sound and built quality had Siltech FTM-4 SG. I believe Nagra in Switzerland they voice now their electronics with Verity Audio and Siltech cables.
Good Luck,Tommy
