If you ask for what is the best cable, if you get 50 answers, you will get 50 different ones. Pretty much random. That should tell you something.

Last few weeks there are silver cables laying on the floor. Also copper. Just laying there. Couple different ones. I leave them alone a lot. You would think if one was going to beat the other it would have happened by now. It is hard to be sure. I wouldn’t want to leap to any conclusions. It could be I just happen to have picked unusually amicable cables. Then again, and not saying for sure one way or the other, but do you think it could simply be they are inanimate? |
The answers here, so far, have been far from random. What they do seem is to indicate a particular direction to go. Soon, I'm going to be experimenting with some copper bi wire cables and if that is a bust, then my next move will be to take my two Tempo Electric speaker cables and maybe bi wire them using a KLE Harmony banana that can accept two different cables and use that for the amp end and use some single bananas for the speaker end and see how that fares. Tempo Electric were the best SCs I've encountered when I had my Tonian Labs TL-D1s. Nothing else came close, in my limited experience. It was only when I got my JBLs is where the Tempo Electrics fell short, and that may very well be that the speaker needs to be bi wired to sound it's best. It's the way I have it now with two different style cables and it's much better sounding that way already. The jumpers were holding things back. Time will tell. All the best, Nonoise |
@nonoise - When you say jumpers - are you using the metal jumpers that come with the speaker? If you are, then yes, the jumpers are the issue - but rather the making a second set of cables try some quality jumpers like these ones on @grannyring 's system page - he loves them grannyring's System - Virtual Systems (audiogon.com) Also take a look at this thread - the Helix Speaker cables are exceptional Regards - Steve |
