I have a Linn System (Genki, Wakonda, LK85) with Blue Heaven IC and Solar Wind speaker cable. I tried the Kimber PBJ and Hero in my system vs the Blue Heaven. The Blue Heaven showed much better synergy in this system, mainly because all the advantages of my Solar Wind speaker cable (detail, speed) are now kept throughout the system. The Heros in comparison sounded almost hollow in the midrange. With the Blue Heavens I noticed a slight brightening of the sound with extended highs, however not as much as when changing speaker cables from the Kimber 4VS to the Solar Wind. The main improvement as with all Nordost cables were in speed, timing and pace. Needless to say I kept the Blue Heavens throughout the system.
If your interested in a detailed transparent cable, and on top appreciate fast transients and speed, I would give the Blue Heavens a try, but be careful trying new cables, they did take more than 80 hours to be broken in.
Good luck,
Rene
