Favorite cable brand.


Interested to hear opinions regarding brand favorites. My personal favorites, at the moment,  are Kimber and Goertz. Two very different sounds yet both quite enjoyable. What are your favorites?

First off, your system and your ears are what matters.  Try before you buy and stop trying to outsmart everyone...it is way to variable to use isolated objective parameters of a cable as a definitive solution.  As for all the arguments regarding cables are cables...for the most part, they are often more similar than different but not without discernable performance variations.  For this reason I tried both Transparent cables and MIT many years ago to hear what a “ more than just cable” design could offer.  MIT has been the clearly superior performer for my ears, especially with their more recent offerings.  Once you hear what they can do in a properly matched system, it is virtually impossible to do without them!
For my system the winner of the speaker cable sweepstakes of 9 contestants was Straightwire Maestro. Interconnects became Straightwire Maestro after 7 shoot outs until I tried Straightwire Virtuoso. SACD and DAC feed the pre-amp via Straightwire Virtuoso and the pre-amp to amplifiers are Maestro. Streamer to DAC is Canare Digital. Power side is Audioquest Niagara 3000 and all noise drain Audioquest power cords.
