Thanks again for all the advice - unfortunately as I am from South Africa I have very limited access to the variety of components that you all do, and that is why it's so great to chat to you guys, 'cos you give excellent advice based on real experience. I will just do lots of reading of the forum, and if anyone has a good experience with a component, I would love to hear about it. I am going to have to go with your suggestions, and then buy online from either audiogon or the agents. Is it safe to buy second hand pc's, interconnects and speaker cables from audiogon's site, and is it to be recommended to buy these second hand?
Most compatible speaker/interconnect and power cables with ARC ref system?
Hi guys
Some advice please. I have just joined Audiogon and would really appreciate some advice. I have 2 audio research Ref 250 amps, Ref 10 pre-amp, ref 9 CD player, Naim music server and a Cary 500 music streamer and transparent power conditioner. My speakers are sonus faber Ellipsa SE's which were developed using this ARC ref system. I would very much like to get the most out of the system, as I love the warmth of the valves and the transparency of the sound. Anyone have a similar setup or just have advice on most compatible speaker cables and interconnects, and which interconnects are the most critical? Does the power cable make such a big difference to warrant the high price of some of them? Some articles seem to rubbish expensive power cables and say it makes the least difference of all.
