I found my ideal interconnect - Sonoran Plateau

I have owned or listened to many ICs in the last 20 years or so, some cheap ones and some expensive ones but none has given me as much satisfaction as the Sonoran Plateau. I just received a new pair and tried it as phono cable in my vinyl only system.
Unlike most ICs. The high frequency is not rolled off and the bass is not unnaturally enhanced. There is also the mid bass which was not clear at all before, came alive. The bass is very firm and natural. It is the most natural, well balanced in all frequencies cable I have listened to. There is much less distortion at higher volume level, much more opened sound overall.
The funny thing is this cable is not advertised in any audio magazine. I have to say it is best kept secret in the audio circle.
I have to say this cable is the best addition to my system for the money.
I have just ordered another pair, to be used from my phono stage to the amp (I don't have a linestage).

I'm sold. I have both cable, IC's, racks, and amps from these guys. They have an awesome line of products that are not well known but not replaced often by anyone who puts them in their system.

I did not do a direct a/b with nordost valhalla, but listened to a demo with them and my speakers. They are obviously very quick and an excellent cable. My own belief having outfitted my system with the sonorans is that they are comptetitive with nordost. I did a direct a/b with nordost red dawns and it was not close. The sonorans are quite transparant, but have a certain warmth that I missed in the valhallas. The red dawns are great but when put next to the sonorans sounded shrill. The valhallas did not suffer the same fate in my demo, but still seemed to deliver a speed to the sound that I didn't feel was true to the original recording. At some point it becomes a matter of taste. The cost difference is enormous, which made the decision easy. For anyone who thinks my decision was dollar based I am thoroughly happy with my decision and would not trade the sonorans for anything else. I didn't skimp. I have a Levinson Media 40 directing Revel Studio's, 4 embraces, voice, and 2 sub15s. A crt projector with faroudja vp 3000 proceed pmdt. Amps are HP 110s which drive the studios+voice. Anyway these are fantastic cables.
