any experience with kimber select cables and revel?

Did you ever get the frey cables? If so, how do they compare to the SPM/QF combo? I'm dying to know as I am interested in sampling them for my system.

Hey Steve -

Nice digs, man. My system is:

Levinson 390S
Levinson 33H's
Revel Salons

I am in the market for new cabling. The front runners are MIT Oracles or Nordost Valkyras. Am not sure which ones yet. Any info that you did not include earlier about the nordost combo you have listed here would be very helpful. By the way, have you upgraded to Valhallas yet? If so, what difference have you heard? Thx.
