I get excellent results with Tara Labs Master Generation 2 "Plus" on my Haydn Grands. The speakers are being driven by a solid state class A pre and class A amp, though, so I can't tell you how well my cables will do with a tube amp. I do have a tubed Conrad Johnson EV-1 phono pre in the chain with a Tara Labs Air 1 interconnect on it that also gives me excellent results with the Haydn Grands.
Best cheap speaker cables............again
Hello all,
I will apologize in advance for asking this question as it is probably one of the most discussed topics
I am looking for some recommendations for a good single wire speaker cable. I am driving a pair of Vienna Haydn's with a pair of Cary tube mono blocks. My old speakers were bi wired and the Haydn's are not. I can't re terminate my current cables so I'm looking at some new wires. Budget under $300.00 and the runs are about 7 feet long. My initial thoughts have been Morrow, signal cable, AQ type 4, zu mission for new cables, but I am certainly not against buying used.
Thanks

Hey Skipper! Gilligan here with another recommendation. Try some Tempo Electric silver speaker cables. If you go with bare connections, you'll keep under your target price. http://www.tempoelectric.com/cables.htm All the best, Nonoise |
If one is still looking for the best CHEAP speaker cable then I have a suggestion for anyone in the market. Don't laugh or be a naysayer unless you have tried this...just saying! Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and get yourself some 12 gauge "SOLID" core copper wire. Something like this: http://www.lowes.com/pd_70012-295-28828221_4294722493__?productId=1098043&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1%26page%3D2&facetInfo= Give it about an hour of break in time and you might be surprised how good it sounds for $16. |
