    Good choice. You'll love the Heros. The PBJ's are OK, but the Heros simply outclass them.

    Keep us posted.

    I like the aesthetics of Kimber Kable in addition to the sonic characteristics.

    The Hero is a nice interconnect.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Lol!

    I'm breaking one of my own "rules of audio" don't mess with success. I'm trying to second guess how the Hero can be better than the PBJ...we shall see.

    Sounds like one of those situations where you will need 3 or 4 nonbiased, adequately liquored guys to show up and evaluate!
