Audioquest or Nordost for speaker cable

@audphile1 now I certainly don’t want my system to fatten up too much. If Audioquest is gonna do that then I guess Nordost is a better choice. Most of the people in this discussion prefer Nordost anyway. 

Frey 2 would be a good choice. If you can swing Tyr 2 even better. I use Tyr 2 XLRs and a combination of Frey 2 and Heimdall 2 power cords. Also looking to try Frey 2 speaker cables in place of my Audience AU24SX.

"I've heard good things about Nordost...And that Audioquest is made in China. I'm not buying anything Chinese."

Interesting to know that AQ is made in China.

No body likes things made in China... but people do care about money.

1. audio cables, 2. DACs 3. tube amplifiers

They are considerably cheap and GOOD ENOUGH

I believe that "AQ is made in China" was debunked on another thread, here or elsewhere. Maybe just their cheapest cables are. I read there's a new v3 version of some nordost cables out that you might want to look at. Keeping your ICs and speaker wire from same manufacturer is probably a good idea, per Steven at TCC.

Owned AQ Tornado, Thunder and Hurricane. All made in china.
