KAS Audio: High Quality Audio Cables for Serious Audiophiles

Maestro Interconnect

"The words I would use to describe them would be clean, clear, natural, precise, honest, etc. Subjectively cleaner than most copper cables I've heard, and not lean or bright like some other silver cables I've heard. Quiet. Finesse. Pretty good clarity. Good micro-depth portrayal (instruments at the back of the band come through clearly, but overall balance seems maintained. Little bit heavy bass and splashy top at this early stage, but promising nonetheless."

"Within the past week I have installed into my system your Maestro and Kaiser cables. By my standards, my system is world-class. The Maestro is connected between a Wadia 861 (Statement Level upgrade) and a Spectron Musician II amp. The Wadia with the upgrade retails for $11,300 and the Spectron IMO is one of the best keep secrets in amplifiers. My speakers are Silverline La Folias. The Kaiser cord is on the Wadia and a BMI Shark is on the amp.
I have pretty good experience in hearing some of the so called better cables. I have owned or auditioned some of the better designs by Nordost, Synergistic Research, Audioquest, Kimber, Cardas, ElectraGlide, Stealth and Shunyata. I have never heard such an improvement in my system as when I have installed your cables. My cable search is over! Thank You!"

"I was very impressed by their absolute neutrality."

"I love the way they sound already and there not even burned in. You have a great product my man. There is so much more definition with the bass, its erie, keep up the excellent work you`re doing, you have customer for life. I will be more than happy to recommend you`re cables to anyone."

"I've got the 2 meter in a key role between my pre-amp and amp. Wonderful. I have used music links (transparent cable) and Analysis Plus Silver Ovals in this position. What I particularly like about the KAS are their warmth and detail. You are truly a pleasure to do biz with and your cables are awesome!"

"I am very pleased with the Maestro IC. The cables are very lively sounding, revealing, and quite musical. I look forward to replacing the other interconnects in my system with Maestro IC. I have auditioned a lot of cables and found that there were two types, detailed, i.e., revealing but cold and hard sounding, and musicical, i.e., smooth but not transmitting all of the notes. The Maestro were both musical and detailed. Bass was improved, imaging was stable, but not at the expense of sounding cold or hard. I am very pleased."

"After giving it significant break-in (over 100 hours) I was pleased to find that indeed the Maestro was a step up for my system. Instruments and vocals achieved greater resolution and clearer placement in the soundstage. Highs were more extended and less harsh, and bass remained plausible. I'm quite pleased."

"Just though I would let you know and tell the designer of the interconnects I won last week that the cables sound great in one of my many reference system. I have been running the cables for about 4 days now and they opened up and sound very detailed without the harsh sound you get from some silver interconnects cables. They are tight, very blooming and colorful, without being to up front. I have them on my B&W SIGs with a set of quick silver amps and a lot of other goodies. I was pretty shocked about the cables sound considering I only use Kimber."

"I finally got the chance to do some serious listening with the Maestro 2M interconnect cable. I used the cable between the DAC (A higher end DAC(Assemblage 3.1 with Platinum upgrade) that was manufactured by the PartsConnection division of Sonic Frontiers). While less than the ideal of fully duplicate circuits this does allow for comparison to a direct connection reference. This did allow for comparision of several cables to the"standard" direct output from the CD player. The results were very impressive. I was able to substitute several cables which included silver and copper litz design cables, silver plated stranded and unstranded as well as single stranded copper cables. The cables included both shielded and unshielded designs. The Maestro cable was substantially broken in before testing. All of the cables are considered "high quality" and with one exception all sounded at least good. No perceptable noise was added by any of the cables. Each of the cables sounded different from one another. The Maestro cable and one other cable were superior to all of the others. They were both articulate, smooth and neutral in their presentation. The Maestro excelled in focus and created a very believeable sound stage with physical separation of both instruments and voice. In comparison to the other excellent cable the Maestro had quicker transient attach and the subtle nuances of voice and instruments were more apparent. The lower frequencies were both full and tight. The music sounded like a"live" performance on the best recordings. The differences were accentuated as the quality of the source material improved. I am very pleased with your products and your communication. If any of the statements regarding your products are helpful to you pleasefeel free to use them in your advertising. In the late 70's and early 80's I sold higher end audio equipment. I currently live in a small community in which high end audio is defined as high quality car stereo equipment or an expensive home theatre set up. I have had to find another source for high end audio via the national mark et. Over the last 3 years I have purchased several items through Audiogon and relationships established with one former dealer that I initially purchased a "demo" item from him. I can comfortable say that your products are superb, follow up is excellent and your communication is both complete and honest."

Kaiser Powercord

"Your power cable does a fantastic job!!! I am using it on my CD transport and what a difference it makes."

Primus Powercord

"I am more than satisfied with my purchase of two Primus power cords, which are used with my CD player and pre-amp. They were very good on installation, but after two weeks the flower has bloomed. My soundstage has practically engulfed me with dimensional images. The imaging has far exceeded my expectations, with details and dynamics that leap out from a deep and wide soundstage. Listening to acoustic jazz is very revealing, for the first time it seems as if the cables are letting the components do their job. Bass is very solid and visceral, like two cars of a train joining together, you can feel the mass when it is in the recording. I have not had any megabuck pc's to compare the Primus to, but can't imagine any cord doing much better in my system. I have used Virtual Dynamics Audition series, Harmonic Technology, BMI EEL, Synergistic and Venhaus Audio which are all priced similarly. The Primus is in another league in neutrality, dynamics, and imaging. Macro and micro dynamics are revealed at a low to normal listening level with all the frequencies balanced, as if a loudness contour was being used. My components are as listed:

- Wilson 5.1 WATT/Puppy
- Monarchy Audio 100 SE deluxe Mono Amps (100wpc)
- Audible illusions M3a Pre-amp
- C.A.L. Icon Mk 2
- Well Tempered Classic/ Grado Sonata cartridge
- Kinergetics Subwoofers
- Virtual Dynamics Nite speaker cable
- VD Audition, Bogdan Audio, KAS Maestro and Ridge Street Audio interconnects.
- Misc. tweaks, BDR, Walker Audio, Aurios, etc.

Thank you for a great product"

"The Primus has worked out great in my system; I'm very impressed! I notice a blacker background and better dynamics than I have experienced in the past with other after-market power cords. My system just sounds "right" and I owe at least a part of that to your Primus cords. I have used PS Audio Mini cables and Audience powerchords. I did retain the Audience powerchords for my ExactPower balanced line conditioners; your KAS cables now power my amp and CD player from the Exact units…"
