Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions

@olesno I've had very good experiences running Analysis Plus interconnects, speaker cables, and power cables.  My bias towards these cable center around their absolute neutrality, truthfulness, and electrically superior properties and not as a tone control. I don't like cables that have a flavor or act as a bandaid to an unbalanced system.  The Analysis Plus cables are very well made, rugged, and use a novel hollow oval geometry to lower resistance and inductance over conventional cables.  They are engineered by engineers, not amateur hobbyists selling snake oil. 

I use a 10' biwire pair of big silver ovals 10awg to my encores.  I separate runs of their black mesh 10awg to my luxman amp switcher and to both the Lyngdorf and the Diavolo.  I use their new triple hollow geometry, double shielded, silver apex for interconnects to my Diavolo. I use their power oval2 Mkll power cables on all my gear.

If you want a great cable with excellent bass and detail retrieval that's well made, you be hard pressed to find a better cable company to deal with.  If you're interested I can get you anything you want.  I know the owner, Mark, pretty well. I used to resell his cables when I was in highend audio back in 2001-2010 back in California so he gets me whatever I want at a discount.  

Cables made with the Duelund stranded copper in cotton wire sounds fantastic with your gear.  Fantastic. I make these under the Acoustic BBQ brand and you can also build them yourself if you have some DIY skills.  Very reasonably priced and beautiful sounding.  

I also use the Cerious Graphene Extreme speaker cables on my Encores and find that they sound terrific. However, I have not tried anything else. I am also using a Cerious Graphene Extreme power cord (blue) on the Lyngdorf, though I may experiment with a few others to find the best match. Thinking of trying an Audioquest Hurricane, or maybe the Cerious Matrix series. 

I will vouch for grannyring's Acoustic BBQ USB cable. I've been listening most of the weekend and it sounds very, very musical--detailed but also full-bodied. In a few days, I will put back in the TotalDac cable I had been using for a direct comparison, but at less than half the price, the Acoustic BBQ is holding its own and then some!

Thank you gentlemen for the reply posts.  All three are very interesting.  First, I have no experience with Analysis Plus but I know they've been around for years and generally are very well regarded.  Jonathan, if you could PM me with some pricing on 9' or 10' speaker cables that would be great.  I'd appreciate that.  Bill, I got some interconnects from you and I like them in my setup.  I might try the speaker cables too.  We spoke about the USB cable once and I'm intrigued by that one too.  Right now I am using Curious cable. Walter, I like the Cerious GEs a lot but the Matrix might be too pricey for me right now.  Than again, I don't know what I'm missing if I don't try it.

@olesno 

Yeah, they are pricey, and so is the Audioquest Hurricane AC cable. What I tell myself--my rationalization--is that because I am eliminating the need for some cables in my system with the 3400, I can "reinvest" in a better power cord and better speaker cables to get the very most of the 3400. 

On the other hand, if Bill's cords are as good or better, than I will be all too happy to spend the savings on buying more music!

I can't recall whether Cerious offers an audition period like Tekton does, but it is worth a look. I have been waiting for some used Matrix speaker cables or power cords to pop up the classifieds, but I have yet to see it. Which may speak well for how good they sound!
