kjl1065 .....If you want a really,really great pair of top notch IC’s..the Gabriel Gold brand will deliver in spades!!! I have a full loom in my system and they are the real deal for the money spent. I would highly recommend them to anyone that has an ear for high end,high quality sound...on a not so high end budget.
Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
I currently have a system which consists of Vandersteen 5A's, THor Audio TP-150 tubed monoblocks, Thor Line Stage and Thor phono stage, Marantz SACD player SA-114 and will take delivery of the VPI Prime Scout with a Sumiko EVOS 3 Cartridge. I am currently using LAT International Speaker Cables, Power Cords and Interconnects. (They are no longer in business). I am in immediate need of turntable cables and would like to update my new speaker cables and interconnects. Not willing to spend thousands on this upgrade. Seeking to capture as much of the "magic" that the super expensive cables deliver but at a more realistic price point. I understand that I have really good quality equipment, but at this stage of my life cannot allocate mega dollars towards cables.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

schubert"Audio Art is the most value for money on the market .If your listening is primarily rock, Anticable will do fine" That is amazing how would any cable designed and intended for use in Music Reproduction Systems possibly distinguish on its own the genre, style or orchestration of the music signal that it is transmitting at any single point in time? |
Interesting and as always controversial thread. On the cable/interconnect thing, I have two opinions......and little practical experience to back either up, so take that for what's it's worth :) While I do believe that different cables, IC's etc. can sound different in different systems, I think the cost of many of the "boutique" stuff is absurd. Ultimately, it's wire with some nice connectors. You can twist it, shield it, comb it, braid it, cryo it, use different dielectrics, play with the gauges, but in the end...........it's still wire. Perhaps if I had deeper pockets I could and would play that game, but I'm of the mind that any properly designed cable, interconnect or wire, should get you at LEAST 90% of the way there...............better ways to spend your money..................Maybe I'll try some 12/2 romex just for fun. :) |
