Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam ,

To the OPs original query:

I have tried Cardas Golden Ref, Cardas Neutral Ref, and a variety of Nordost ICs. I agree that the Cardas Golden cables dont have enough top/bottom heft, which is why I only use Nordost now: clean, smooth, detailed, powerful, balanced.

The Nordost blue heaven are a great bang for buck, but you will get better results with the Heimdall/Frey models but pay a bit more. With the Nordost line, you get what you pay for. But if you buy them used, its also a great bargain

@ Grey9hound, Say, What did you think about what 1graber2 had to say here?, Nordost are good cables, The bad side of them however, you better not run a full loom of the nordost, you loose bass and other qualitys, If you keep it simple, a cable here, a cable there, you will be good to go!,, cheers!

@1graber2
I ended up with the tara labs Air1 speaker cables. I am still using the Golden Cross ICs for now. I will try something different, but it will be a little while.
Thanks for the Reccomendations. The Nordost might be a little pricey for me . I'll have to see what is available when i am ready.

@ Grey9hound, Hi, waxwaves turned me onto a company called AV Audio a couple of months ago, turns out he gave a great recommendation, no I did not purchase nothing yet, but I have found that waxwaves is on yo something here!, the airsine cables are likly the best bang for the buck in te market place, the airsine power cord especially!, I wanted you to know this Dennis, I know Taralabs are one of the best!, This company has alot of my attension too!,you should go to their site, you can build your own cables from the material they will sell you!, and they sell numerous resonance control brands and other stuff!, tell me what you think if you visit the site., the top of the brand power cord, the airsine 6ft power cord is $800.00 new retail!, when you read about the science and reviews like I did of this power cord, you should get the same dose of shock as I did!, LOL!, cheers to you Grey9hound!

Hey dudes, hope all is good with you fellows, it has been awhile. @ Dennis and Keith, The company I have referred to as having pretty good power cables is in fact VH Audio...not AV Audio. Another good place to start with budget power cables is Signal Cable. Hard to beat for the money IMO! The VH Audio Airsines are not budget tho, they are VH Audio's top o the line pc. Could be used in higher end systems no problem. The VH Flavor 4 or the Signal Cable Magic pc would be a good choices for Grey9hound's amps IMO! Also, I really can't say enough abouta man named Lou and his Lat International AC-2mkII power cables. These cables have a very balanced sonic signature. They are articulate but not overly bright, they have great bass slam without sounding bloated or exaggerated, and they are dead quiet and just stay out of the way of the music. These are great with source components! The three power cables brands discussed above sell my budget favorites! Of course...There are many other good budget minded power cables out there to chose from too. Hope this helps
