After tried several cables Van den hul cs122 kimber 8TC the flat 4 of Nordost seems to be the best cable by far for at least the KEF R500 and KEF R900 and latest Denon PMA2020 amp and dcd-2020 combination.

In goes the first CD. ahhhhh Yes!!!!!!!!!! Right from the first beats I fell in love w/ these things. Speed! Clarity! Dynamics! Impact! Naturalness of vocals!!! Everything went up a notch. As they played longer and longer I also noticed a bigger air surrounding the notes and a certain delicacy in their individual presentation not there before. WOW!

KEF R-series matches perfect with nordost flat 4

This cable works wonders when they are connected to my Rogers LS3/5A bringing out the potential of the LS3/5A further.
I know there are better and more expensive cables, but this one does the job.

sweetest, most detailed midband ever. well extended, tuneful bass.

Bass very dry and lean

very nice sounded cable

Transparency, natural tonality

none in my application

These cables eliminated the chestiness I heard from male radio announcers making them sound more natural with both dynamic speakers and ESLs. Perhaps this is why some feel they are lacking in bass?

They also elimindated some hardness I had previously in percussion while preserving shimmer. A flautist friend who cannot tolerate any form of distortion says that "the music is more friendly and tickles" her now. As you know flutes, etc. have some very high harmonics so these cables are either bandwidth limited (not) or are any easy, low distortion load.

I am using them for the high pass of a bi-amped system, and feel they are ideal in this situation. I am using 6' lengths.
