Transparent , Kubala , Luminous , or RS Poiema

I keep coming back to this thread because I have been in the middle of a serious comparison analysis of the Valhalla and Kubala Emotion ics . To each his own but an above comment is exactly why serious research is needed when an important component purchase is contemplated. If someone interested in Kubala cables read the above comment that a signal cable he had tried was just as good as one of the Kubalas then he would be seriously misguided. I have respect for Signal cables and own many of his products . They serve a purpose and are insanely inexpensive for the performance . That said however , the Kubala cables mop the floor with anything in their line and they probably should given the vast price difference. I am just tired of unqualified , outrageous claims that have absolutely no basis in truth being interjected in serious discussion posts. You dont need a " golden ear " to hear the difference given the system is capable of illustrating high resolution . Without such a system comments are baseless. We all have opinions and this forum is priceless to many of us in search of musical nirvana . I simply would like to see more responsibility in the manner in which we subjectively give opinions. The pen is mighty as there are many less educated in search of answers . Recklessly wielding it is dangerous and irresponsible .

I'll add another cable for you to consider: the Cerious Technologies. Some may "disbelieve" immediately when they see the prices and the new technology being used. I've owned and auditioned Valhalla, Silversmith (silver and Palladium),Transparent, HMS, Luminous, RS, the Indra Stealth, and many other cables, however. The Cerious Tech. interconnects are, by far, the best I've ever heard in my system. I'm using Elrod speaker cable, by the way, and am equally happy with those. I may try the Cerious Tech speaker cable, but I use a very long run and I am extremely happy. I strongly suggest that you at least consider and audition the Cerious Tech. Like many others, a 30 trial period, with refund, is part of the deal. Good luck.

If money is not an issue I would try The Dominous Speaker Cable from PAD.If its anything like their Interconnect that would be something worth auditioning IMO.
I know you don't ask about this in your post,But just thought I would mention it.

Try the RASPUTIN cables.Best I have heard.

The Kubala Emotiom cable is a Reference cable and is in the Top 5% of the industry. I also own the Signal cable in my TV system ,and I have to say that there is no comparison and certaily not even in the same league, but I did like them better than my Cardas, and still own them. I have had Transparent Reference, Valhalla, Jena Labs, Cardas Golden 5C, Ridge Street Audio, Supra, Siltech, and a few more. My fav for years was the Transparent Reference Speaker cable and the Valhalla IC. Seemed to work for me. Note: these cable test are very system dependent. Like when someone says I tried the Kubala and this other cable was better. Well maybe it was,and I think that is great, The question is, where you comparing apples to apples, which line of the Kubala where you comparing. For me I have been playing with cables for the last 2 years. I love reading this forums they are very educational, and learn so much from other poeple experiences.

I for 10 years used the Transparent Reference Speaker Cables, and the Valhalla IC. I thought this combination was perfect. Then I tried the Jena labs Valkyre Speaker cables, I was sold immediately, it offered a midrange that the Transparent Reference didn't offer, it was a new experience, plus it offered, sweeter highs and a deeper Bass extension. I called the guy who I bought the Jena from and asked him what did he replace the Jena's with and he said the Kubala-Sosna Emotion, I ordered those on a 30 day trial. WOW factor , again the speaker cable was even more reveling in the midrange, had excellent Bass and all around much more neutral sounding cable. I tried the Emotiom IC and was sold, as when i swithced back to the Valhalla i could hear where the Vahalla was bloated in the mids. Now the Power Cords which I think was totally unexpected, beat out the Elrod Signature and the Harmonix Studio Master the Emotion PC was much quieter and more revelling. Again that was in my system. The Kubala sound great out of the box and only need 48 hours for full break-in, a good thing as Martha would say.
I now have sold the Great Jenas, Transparent Reference, and my Reference Valhalla.
Cheers
