Revisiting the Kimber KCAG

I've been using RCA KCAGs between my preamp and amp for about 15 years. I've tried many other ICs (in approximately the same price range or lower) including Siltech, XLO, Cardas, Staightwire, and some of the internet-only jobs like Oritek, Signal Cable, and Guerilla. Some worked well in my system (I kept those), others not, but what I keep hearing is how incredibly transparent the KCAG cables are (in my system). Do they do everything perfectly? No. With some music you can hear juuuust a little bit of hardness in the mids, and the soundtsgae is not as big as with some other cables.

What I would like to hear from the gang here is whether there are any other cables in this price range (or maybe a bit more) that have the same information retrieval, speed, and transparency (while still remaining very musical) as these classic cables... and maybe improve a bit on those areas where the KCAG may be a little weak. At this point I can work with either RCA or XLR.

Hi, Tonyptony
I'm just wondering you have Guerilla, Signal Cable and Oritek, how was the sound compare to your KCAG? especially Guerilla coz I'm looking for their product. I owned some kimber cable before from PBJ, Hero, Silver Streak, except KCAG but Silver Streak is more improvement than the other two, more speed and good on bottom end. My opinion if you're looking for speed and Transparency, Go to Nordost, I have Solar Wind speaker cable it kills my Kimber 8 TC.
