Need help with IC upgrade Cardas Golden Cross




A few years ago I got a pair of Cardas Golden Cross ICs to smoothen out my solid state equipment. Recently I've changed the equipment to a Bel Canto Dac3 connected directly to my Conrad Johnson 2005a applifier. While I like this combination a feel like the Golden Cross cable is a little too soft. I'm looking for an IC with a little more definition and just a touch more forward. While I'm considering the Wireworld Gold Eclipse 5.2 I'd be interested in any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Kimber Select is excellent cable, all 3 metal types are solid performers. I think the 1021 hybrid is top notch and the 1011 and 1016 is excellent also. Not a huge fan of 1030 in my system - others love it.

The 1021 is the most nuetral cable I have had in my system.
I've had enough experience with cables to believe that some are in fact system dependent.

I actually have Blue Jeans cabling on my 2nd (office system) and they were better than the more expense cables they replaced.

Anyone try the new Wireworld 6 series?
I've used (and still use) a number of Cardas interconnects, Cross, Golden Cross & Golden Presence. I'm a big fan and have found Golden Cross to sound great in many setups. I'm really liking the Golden Presence as well; seems to have a bit more bite and detail.

However, a couple of months ago I purchased a pair of Kool Cables (KCI) Silkworm + interconnects---between my MW Transporter and 300B integrated, the Silkworm + cables are just outstanding to my taste. Tremendous soundstage and OH so musical. Very very natural sounding. They get my highest recommendation, plus I've found John P., the owner/designer, to be one of best guys I've met/dealt with in the audio community!!

After getting out of tubes I found that the Golden Cross really help harshness of solid state equipment. After getting less harsh (uh better) sounding solid state electronics I'm finding the Golden Cross cable just too soft. Wish I handn't sold the regular Cardas Cross.
