Replace au24 speaker cable???

I have for years used the au24 speaker cable with my dartzeel preamp, dartzeel amp, and evolution acoustic mm2 speakers with powered woofer

The au-24 is well balanced and cannot imagine much more bass slamm but maybe more midrange?

System sounds great but maybe this is weakest link. The ic cables are bnc connectors which is optimal for dartzeel equipment.

A friend brought his kubala to try but I found the kubala too dark

The stereovox silver reference seems tempting but not sure if worth the $ and limited budget

Thanks

i am a bit puzzled by the comments so far regarding the au 24 speaker cables.

i had an opportunity to audition the ics, power cables and speaker cable.

the au 24 was not lacking in resolution. in fact i found them somewhat analytical and too focused for my taste. in addition, i did not find the bass response more extended or having greater impact than other speaker cables.

Reviewing and auditioning is much different than living with them day after day. I think people change cables almost on a routine basis to get something different but over time tire of them as well....and around and around we go.

I had Au79's before going to Synergistic Research Tesla. In my system the Tesla Accelerators were more resolved, threw a much larger soundstage, and had a more textured and musical balance.

I suggest you try cables from different manufactures- in addition to SR Tesla I would also try cables from AQ, Cardas, and Nordost. That should cover the neighborhood pretty well.
