I've been researching Balanced Cables in anticipation of adding a new pair of mono-blocks (Atma Sphere Class - D) to my system. I'm hoping some of you who know a thing or two about cables might help me (us) clarify or demystify certain assumptions.
My assumptions:
- You get what you pay for ($300 Brand X will produce more detail than say $60 Mogami Gold).
- The larger the gauge the better.
- Crimped and soldered connectors are better than screw tightened.
- Two or more large braided strands are better than several smaller gauge braided strands (all things being equal).
- Silver conductors are better sounding and measuring than Copper conductors.
- Rhodium, Gold, Silver, Copper, & Brass, connectors objectively sound different. (as opposed to in your system).
Remember, the more objective your responses are the more helpful they'll be to a majority of readers.
Thanks in advance for your "feedback"
