The big audiophile dilem

Have you tried Siltect cables? They are very transparent and musical with great details. Check them out.

My local YBA/Pass Labs dealer is a custom speaker builder.
They use Focal drivers in their top speakers. They recently changed to the top Ixos cables in their reference system.
Everyone who's heard the new cables liked them - even before they were fully broken in.
Jaques Mahal visited & even he was impressed..
The speaker cable retails for $1200.00 a pair, I believe.
I have the next level down, at $200.00 a pair it beat the $600.00 XLO I was using...

The Cardas Golden Reference will sound great with the Mini Utopia.

For transparency, detail and no boom, you'll get great results with Nordost SPM. There may be better at the price, but SPM hits the spot for sure.
