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 ????

I tried the K-S emotions in my system with mixed results. Ultimatley, my stereovox reference were better IN MY SYSTEM. In my all-tubed system, the K-S was too laid back and rolled-off, and booooring - simple as that. Despite the clever name, I was not 'emotionally' involved in the music.

On the other hand, I found the power cord to be a nice 'balancer' in my system, running along-side the more open/revealing/faster Electraglide Epiphany X's. The K-S provided a bit more body and just a bit of warmth, without losing much in the way of information.

I know and trust JD and Jafox, and in their systems, to their ears, the K-S emotion line is a fine fit - just not my cup of tea. I suspect I would get similar sound IN MY SYSTEM from the much cheaper Cardas Golden Cross.

Oneprof - your thoughts? Did you try these on the Berning or AA Capitole??
they are pretty good but the upper end models are very $$$$$. they do work well with bat gear...

my personal fave is xlo signature2..i have tried a lot of ic's over the years and they are still my reference- very transparent with incredible resolution at the frequency extremes...
Artg is a good buddy but the reference to Cardas Golden Cross is just crazy. I know CGC very well as I owned a lot of it for a few years before I changed to all NBS Statement. Having to go back to CGC now, with its poor coverage at the frequency extremes, overly warm midrange and a mediocre resolution would be next to impossible. The CGC is one of the most colored cables on the planet. And this alone makes it almost the polar opposite of the K-S product line.
OK, John, maybe it was a bit extreme a comparison, a bit of hyperbole sometimes helps make a point.......
Well i just bought a pair of the imagination interconnects.They have not arrived yet.I will let it be known later how they sound.And hype; YES there is hype; But also cables do make a difference.Without some hype, we would have no products to buy.And some people do not know how to listen.Some only hear.I think the rep of this company is growing.
