Alex, thanks for feedback. I use Elation myself and think it is a very good cable especially in the mids. In my set up, the highs and the bass fall short a little. The bass particularly is a bit loose compared to another cable brand I have on hand.. If the Realization can improve in these areas, it will be a winner.We've only had a complete Realization system for a small time, as the interconnects were in short supply.
My impression is that it sounds like a more open (on both ends) Elation. It's not frequency response, it's more "air" up on the highs and a more heft on the bass. Same result both on the Wilson as well as the YGs.
Joe Kubala will be in the store February 10th demonstration his new lines, Realization among them.
Folks with Elation, even Emotion, should seriously consider taking advantage of Kubala's upgrade policy, and consider Realization!
cheers,
alex

VPN, how would you compare the Realization to other brands you have had?Hello,
I upgraded my speaker cables and preamp power cable from KS Elation to KS Realization. The improvement has more substantial than I expected. Better highs with more air, better lows with more quality/better timbre, better soundstage. Highly recommended!
Cheers,

Eeeeesh! Another well-regarded, top-of-the-line interconnect to consider?
Has anyone compared Realization interconnects to Cardas Clear Beyond interconnects?
Alex, how does the Realization sound different than the Sensation?
Than the Elation?
Than the Emotion?
(I give up — back to Radio Shack zip cord for me! )
WoW ! Thank you.
IC is almost 4-times of PC..... Is it real?
Is there something special at IC ?
VPN, how would you compare the Realization to other brands you have had?
Has anyone compared the KS line to Transparent, especially with Rockports? Is there a cheaper way to Nirvana?
Cheers,
DCM (Rockport lover)
Thanks! No surprise.Both are good enough. When I bought Rockport Mira then Atria now, I had to choice a speaker cable.
The result was easy, transparent. Because rockport uses same.
Then I had compared transparent xl and kubala elation power cord, then selected xl.
And I compared aes ebu cable also, then selected tranparent again.
It seems that transparent family make some synergy.
