Interconnects with smooth highs 4 Manley Stingray


I am seeking for interconnects in up to $700 price range (used market). What do I actually seek is silky smooth highs/no any grain sound which I heared when auditioned set of Kimber Select KS1030 (0.5 m). Outstanding cable.

The question is there any other cable which can deliver this kind of high freq smoothness? Are Audioquest's silver line : Niagara , Sky in the same league? Maybe Nordost Frey/Heimdall touches Kimbers in this criteria? Perhaps Homegrown Silver Laces or Diva (similar construction like KS1030: two positive two negative silver conductors indivudually isolated with teflon) give similar results? Or thats the sound which only Kimber Select can be proud of?

My current (digital/tube) setup:

JMlab Focal Electra 905
Marantz DV8300 SACD/CD/DVD-AUDIO
Manley Stingray 25W Triode mode
Nordost Solar Wind Bi-wire

Mjordanas, I haven't traded out alot of cables in that paticular system so I can't help you with alot of experience in that regard.

The cd that I use to get this aspect right is: EL CANT DE LA SIBIL-LA , Malloria-Valencia 1400-1560, Montserrat Figueras LA CAPELLAREIAL DE CATALUNYA, Jodi Savall. If I can get the voice right on this recording then I'm happy. Right means that it has a very pure organic sound that has no simbilance on the very highs. This is wonderful ancient music that is recorded very well. Both the AZ Matriz and AZ Silvers passed this test with flying colors.
Nordost Frey does not have smooth highs. Further to that, the Frey was lacking in bass slam compared to the XLO Signature 2. I would concur with several recommendations on Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II -smooth highs but not lacking in slam and dynamics.
The smoothest, cleanest, least "splashy" ICs I've heard are the Cerious Technologies.
Nordost Heimdall IC's in my system have very clean and smooth highs, with a little touch of sweetness to the harmonics. Very nice interconnect.
