For ICs I recommend darwincables.com and right now you can still get a deal on SCs at zuaudio.com. Both make PCs but your preferences may lay elsewhere.

Recommendations? 2-Channel Audio System Speaker Cables and RCA Connects and Amp Power Cord
My System:
Audio Research VSi60 (Integrated strong-~50watt tube amp)
Lumin T1 (using its DAC, too)
Focal 1028BE (II)
Room:
14x20x9
Preferences in order of my desires:
-Imaging and Soundstage
-Natural/Realism
-Less fatigue (I know that's frequently a trade-off with resolution and the above preferences)
-Dynamics
-Tone/timbre
What I listen to:
-I like folk & americana (from Cat Stevens, Jakob Dylan)
-Blues (Eva Cassidy, John Hammond)
-Guitar (both acoustic and electric: Leo Kottke, Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits)
-AOR Rock/Classic Rock
Budget is around 2K for all. Used is fine, too.
Thanks for your inputs!

I’ll second contacting The Cable Company. http://www.thecableco.com/ They’re familiar with most amps and speakers, and will recommend cables that meet your criteria. The 5% lending fee is money well spent, since you wont be buying and selling cables until you get it right. I suggest getting the speaker cables and ICs first to nail down the timbre of your system. Then add the PC; it will be an added bonus to the sonics. |
All good suggestions listed above. There are countless good companies available. I did some beta testing several years ago for VH Audio and I was impressed with some of the interconnects, speaker cables and power cords. You might want to take a look at the website and/or drop them an email. [url]http://www.vhaudio.com/?gclid=CJTr4ZrR1soCFYQfHwod-BsECQ[/url] |
