Hello, all.
I have a KGSS with Omega II's and a Bottlehead tube phono preamp. The preamp is relatively rich, tubey-but-extended-on-both-ends, etc. and the tubes are warmer and fatter sounding, with nice, sweet treble. It is not as speedy with leading-edges as I'd like (hasn't fully burned in, though, to it's credit).
I am currently using Magwire Nakeds which sound nice enough, but I am looking for the next large step in terms of refinement in a DIY IC cable. I am mainly looking for:
- speed (to counteract the slight tube sluggishness)
- clear as a bell (to communicate all the lovely, refined tube treble)
- full-range, timbrally rich sound (bass is not muddy but has impact and realism, treble comes through beautifully with realism).
- No false, "added" brightness (like I am thinking silver might do)
- STUNNING, RICH MIDRANGE
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Matt
