Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"?

First impressions-
1. Much more punch to the lower mid-range bass frequencies (not the very lowest frequencies);
2. Less searing high frequencies;
3. More "musical" (whatever that means) but "darker" (whatever that means) - loss of some midrange resolution compared with the expensive Nordost speaker cables, but at least I can tolerate the sound of an electric guitar.
--------------

1: moore punch comes from lower resistanse, better flow
2: indicates lower internal crossover distortion+see over
3: Better harmonics due to lower distortion, cleaner "signal". Mid-resolution is not lower, just less edgy or distorted. 

The change in resistance of the cable will be minimal from the ones you have described so that punch is not from improved current flow which will be minimal to 0.


The brightness/detail (and harshness) was likely an unstable amp with your Nordost that went away with cheap cable if I remember. The "Transparent" has a few dollars (or pennies) of parts to address instability in wide bandwidth amplifiers.


That detail was just high frequency emphasis ... It was not real. That midrange - upper base punch is because you are now hearing it properly without it being masked by high frequency "hash".

So it's either the OP is hallucinating, or wasting money on cables that cost pennies in parts. That's the gist of what you are saying, right?

Do you have anything to say to help the OP on this? Other than just denouncing cables as snake oil. What is the purpose of your participation in this thread?

Neither your lack of reading comprehension, nor your laziness to actually read my posts in this thread, nor your lack of understanding of amplifier/speaker and cable interaction in limited cases justifies your childish and ignorant post. It says much more about you, than it does about it.
