Tri-Wire Cables

Okay... So saying I was brave and decided to Tri-Wire with three separate runs of cable. I could even go with different manufacturers products for each driver. Shesh... That seems like the complicated way to audio nirvana!

I've spent a great deal of time selecting interconnects.... Tedious... Now... Just imagine the fun I'll have selecting three separate cable runs, each perfect for the driver they feed! When all is said and done and the three runs of cable selected, my floor will be a mess & my pocket book a disaster. God only knows what the back of my amp will look like... but.. hey... Isn't that what this hobby is all about? :) FUN!!!

Hi Bwhite; some respected high end manufactures, eg R. Vandersteen recommend against mixing different brands of wires in a bi or tri wire setup. The reasons given have to do with differing electronic characteristics of the wires. I have chosen to go with factory recommendations, and have not tried mixing wire brands. Good Luck. Craig.

Garfish... Thanks! I am glad to hear that. I'd hate to have a run of Cardas, Audioquest and Silver Audio for each channel. What are the factory recommendations? Are your Vandersteen speakers tri-wire ready?

Bwhite; Most Vandersteen speakers (maybe all) are bi-wireable, but not tri-wireable. I did ask R.Vandersteen for a spkr cable recommendation, but he declined, just saying that there are so many and they all sound different.

BTW, I ended up with bi-wired runs of Syn. Res. Sig. No. 2. I did try Sig. No. 3 on top (a Syn. Res. recommendation), but found it too bright. But I'm very satisfied with the Sig. No. 2 for both runs. Note, the Syn. Res. cables (No. 2 and No. 3) are designed to work well together and are electronically compatible. Craig.
