How much difference can an interconnect make? I am a big believer in power cords and broke the bank for a Nordost Valhalla 2 for my EMM Labs XDS1-V2 CDp; although I can't really describe the benefits it looks good. I was more conservative on interconnect, using the hybrid and very good Kimber KS 1126 balanced connecting to an ARC Ref 5se. All was good until my dealer advertised a used KS 1136, silver wire, top of the line, new 3489€, but for less than half price. So I plugged it in on test thinking it would be bright, but no. That upgrade produces more benefit than my move from a Ref 5 to SE. Amazing liquidity, weight, holographic sound, extended bass, leaving me wondering what else is left to do? Maybe it's because, as I read, Meitner uses Kimber wire in his components. Anyway I wonder if anyone has experienced such a profound change with one .75 meter piece of wire?
