I wish I had a way of trying out different cables before buying but I'm not certain whether or not it's possible. As far as surge protection, I live in an apartment so yes, it is needed. My price range is ideally around $2,000.00 pre-owned to around $3,600.00 new. I try to keep up with various product reviews on line but there is just so much out there and it's hard to get an idea exactly what angle audio manufactuers are coming from. I mainly listen to classical Cd's due to the extensive catalogue that Cd's offer but I collect classical 1940's and 1950's vinyl.
Searching for Line Conditioner and Speaker Cables
Hi!
I'm in preperation of buying my first real hi fi system; a NAT Utopia pre-amplifier and a pair of NAT SE2SE monoblock amplifiers. Also, along with these components, the Ayre QB9 DAC. I'm currently using a pair of Monitor Audio GS10 speakers. The profits from my work will offer me the chance to upgrade speakers however this won't be for a while. Finally, I need to consider quality speaker cables and an excellent line conditioner. As well, maybe a very good tuner. Cables, line conditioner and tuner can all be pre-owned if each one is in very good condition. Does anyone have any suggestions. Also, are there any considerations that I ought to be aware of with respect to this project? It's going to be a fun project!
