Glenn - Please don't take offense from my input, as I'm just trying to be helpful. Nothing against Kimber who makes some fine cables, but their Silver Streaks are an unshielded design and as such are not the best choice to carry the very low output signal from a fine MC cartridge like your Kleos to your Cary phono preamp. You would be better off using a well shielded IC for that connection point in your system to avoid the potential for picking up any hum or noise which is then significantly amplified by your phono preamp and SLI-80. The Kimber would be better suited going between your phono stage and SLI-80 which is a higher level signal and not subject to as much gain. Give it a try and let us know your findings.
