Cables for Focal Utopia Diablo


Could you share with me what interconnect and speaker cables work well with Utopia Diablo? I am thinking about getting Tara Labs the One but not sure if they work well together. Source is Wadia 581SE and Amps are Ayre MXR along with Shunyata Hydra 8 and Python Helix power cords.

Thanks very much,

For components/speakers this good I would go with KLEI zFLOW22 speaker cables and also get the zFLOW33 IC's. They work exceptionally well together and will provide excellent detailing with amazing imaging and a very controlled bass.

I've tried other speaker cables from Cardas, Kimber, Purist Audio and Tara Labs and the zFLOW's are far superior to all of them.

Lucky Boy - for other budget options I also own (or have owned) ...

- the KLEI gZero6 SC and KLEI gZero20 IC's - another great combination and a little less expensive - and

- the KLEI gZero2 Speaker cable - which matches nicely with the KLEI gZero6 IC from a performance level perspective

All of the pairings I have mentioned outperformed the cables from other brand cables that I mentioned above.

I would not advise mixing the zFLOW line with the gZero line (or other brands of cables for that matter) because they offer so much better performance when used with products from within the zFLOW line - you'd just be wasting your money.

BTW - I have no affiliation with KLE Innovations - I just like the performance of their cables/RCA Plugs and believe they offer some exceptional value.

Lucky-

I have heard the speakers w/ Transparent cabling to excellent results. The higher up the cable model chain you can afford, the better you will be musically rewarded.

Keep me posted & Happy listening!
I switched from the Cardas Golden Cross to a pair of MIT S3's and I have to say that after breaking them in for a couple of weeks, I prefer the MIT cables.  As usual, the differences are subtle -- better soundstage, a smoother sound, so I would consider myself an MIT convert.  The Golden Cross wire sounded good too, but I felt that the MIT was the hands down winner in my purely subjective opinion in my system.
