@hobo1452: I have read comments elsewhere regarding Pangea cables, to the effect that they were not very good cables. Audio Advisor features Pangea and at reasonable prices, but given those comments I did not buy any. Pangea claims to use very high quality Cardas copper. You find Pangea to do well in your system? Do you have experience with other brands and cables and found Pangea to hold their own in comparison? Just curious.
Cables 101, new student, first question
I have a simple question if I can get it worded correctly. For simplicity, let's say my system has four interconnects in a "stream," all from the same manufacturer, some from the top of the line and some from the bottom. Example: Wireworld's Eclipse 8 line, four different versions, the least expensive starting at $325 and the most expensive starting at $1700. In general, will the system's sound be defined by the weakest (cable) link in the chain, in which case all the more expensive cables are a waste of money? Or will a mix of cables that includes some really high-end ones sound better than a consistent run of the cheaper stuff?
To put this a different way, if I'm buying a couple new interconnects (again, for simplicity's sake from the same maker), might buying better ones improve the sound or will I not hear a difference until I've replaced them all? (Here's the stream analogy: if I put a dam upstream, the flow in the entire river will be reduced.)

Here's what I suggest: Build yourself a pair of cables with DH Labs solid silver and KLH silver plugs. https://www.partsconnexion.com/DHLABS-57225.html Tell me if anything you ever buy sounds better. Best, Erik |
