Valhalla interconnects - recommended?


I have Cardas Golden Reference ICs between my Halcro DM10 Preamp and the Halcro DM58 Monoblocks which I have been happy with for years.
I don't need extra detail and certainly don't want brightness.
What would Valhalla ICs bring to that combination?

In my experience Valhalla is not bright, switching to Valhalla from Golden Reference is like taking the cotton out of your ears. You'll be listening to all your music over again because of what you missed with the Golden Reference.
Right now in my system I have all Synergistic Reference Tesla Apex, I did keep one Valhalla to use in between my turntable and Phono pre but moved that to my CD player and am now trying a Purist Audio Venustas phono cable. I would say any of the cables I'm using you would like, but since you are interested, I can highly recommend the Tesla Apex IC's and speaker cables.

Good Luck,
Mike
Leica Man,
I've been using Synergistic wires for a few years and the Tesla Apex sound very nice in my system. I picked up the Valhalla to use between my TT and phono preamp, although I've used them in the past but not an all Valhalla system. I tend to mix wires but usually not more than two brands. I trust your ears more than mine since I don't do a lot of A/B testing. I'll usually try a wire at one spot and run it for a few weeks to see how I like it. Right now I'm new to and listening just to my TT with the Purist Audio Venustas hooked up. I just wanted to add my thoughts to perhaps save one person from those Golden Reference wires, I think the OP's system deserves better.
Also, may I ask, do you have any experience or know anything about the Synergistic Research Tricon phono cable? I want to try those next.

Thanks,
Mike
Thank you I did a Google search and did find your review, I have a set on order so I'll soon find out.
