Audioquest or Nordost for speaker cable

Speaker cables can make or break a system. My main system, i have Dynaudio Speakers and Sugden Amps. I found that WireWorld is a great pairing for that equipment. My Second system in the basement, I am running Another Sugden amp, with PMC Twenty5.22i speakers. I have Madison Audiolab Cables, they are a very neutral cable, sound perfect. I tried a $3000 pair of Verterre Speaker cables in the basement, and they sounded like someone covered my speaker with blankets.

Only Demo cables you don't have to buy if you are fortunate.

Well guys your excellent advises and lots of thinking has convinced me to stay with Nordost. I almost went for Valhalla 2 but held myself back as the price was too rich for my wallet. Then I started look at Tyr 2 but same as before too expensive so I just ordered Frey 2. I hope I made the correct decision and will not be disappointed. Thank you all.

If your wallet is feeling violated, you could always pick up Nordost (Asian equivalents) for 70, 80 bucks on Aliexpress....

Aliexpress is an excellent cost saving resource for struggling audiophiles. It has saved many a marriage, college funds, retirement accounts, etc over the ages.

Hope that helps.

Yeah, but the only thing they have in common is the name. Better to buy a budget speaker cable from a non-fraudulent company.

Asian equivalents... @deep_333 you’re one heck of a comedian dude!

@couger4u While there pick yourself up an Asian equivalent of Rolex, Louis Vuitton slippers and Versace pajamas. Don’t limit yourself to just fake Nordost. Equip yourself properly for a good listening session. 
 

All jokes aside, enjoy your Frey 2 cables. They should be awesome. 

About a year ago I wanted to upgrade my cables.  I had a full loom of Audioquest Dragon and Nordost Valhalla 2 to test.  Over 4-5 days i went back and forth, but neither loom was giving me the balance that i was looking for.  I found the Nordost loom too dry and no warmth.  I liked its detail, but I wasn’t engaged with the music.  With the AQ I loved the bass and the fullness of the sound, but it didn't give me the detail I wanted.  Despite everyone advising me to go with a full loom I decided on the AQ Dragon on all power cords and the Valhalla 2 on my XLR’s.  I already had the AQ Thunderbird Zero speaker cables.  It worked spectacularly!  Im demoing Speaker Cables now to see what my next upgrade will be.  Good luck!
