Need your help on SPEAKER CABLE...

Albert, i think i've got you figured out. You sit back and let everyone else "strut their stuff" and then you fire away once were all exhausted. Makes for less of a moving target that way : )

Actually, your suggestions for Cardas actually hit the description of what he's looking for right on the head. Very clean, clear and warm without a hint of brashness or glare. Now since you've mentioned them, what can you tell us about the Purist Audio's that strikes your fancy the most ??? Sean

The Purist is extremely low distortion, and has perhaps the most effective shield against vibration, RF and EMI. It is difficult to know if what Purist offers in these specific areas would be of benefit. Elementa is also extremely phase accurate, allowing objects within the soundstage to retain their own space. These spatial cues are what determine the holographic effect in imaging, and are sometime lost with cables that cost many times more.

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts with me. Meanwhile, I've been reading some reviews on these Ultraconductors (both ic and sc) from JPS Labs. And, actually, some reviewers feel these are quite smooth and warm while others say these are more on the cold and analytical side. What is your opinion?

Are you opposed to DIY? I did a set of 10g wires made up of 4 twisted pairs of 16g in a counter rotating geometry and terminated them with KLE banana plugs and cardas silver solder. Cost was about 200 I believe, and they are fantastic. Another option I've seen really amazing reviews on is GR-Research 24 strand braided speaker cables. Supposedly super revealing and smooth which makes me very curious and brings about that diy project itch again. But in all honesty, if you can do any half-decent soldering and have a few hours on your hands, you can get some fantastic product for a small fraction of purchasing a finished product from a name brand company.

Good luck sport.
