Of the cables you list, I would get the AQ Colorado. You can also get the Columbia, Panther and Jaguar. All 4 cables are very similar in design, and with the equipment you have, you won't hear a difference between any of them. I have a few pairs of all 4 and have them in use on a daily basis. They sound just as good as some other cables I have that cost a lot more, and they are one of very few copper cables that don't have that rough/gritty sound in the high frequencies. You may not notice that now, but if you get more revealing components, you'll hear it (with other copper cables).
Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations
Hello all,
I wanted to come here to ask you guys’ advice on some interconnects. This is my system:
Spica TC50 speakers
2x M&K VX-7 II subwoofers
Emotiva XDA-2 digital preamp
Adcom GFA-545 amplifier
Harrison Labs PFMod crossover (soon to be replaced by MiniDSP)
I connect my Emotiva to my crossover via RCA male>male adapter, for the best quality. This means I have only 1 interconnect in my entire system (crossover to the amplifier). I have been using these basic Acoustic Research RCA cables. A friend lent me his Aural Thrills and Tara Labs interconnects and I heard a pretty significant difference when replacing my AR cables with them.
So I now plan to buy my own interconnects, and I wanted to come here for your suggestions. Here are some options I’ve come up with, but feel free to add more:
Cardas Crosslink
Audioquest Diamondback
Audioquest King Cobra (same price as Diamondback right now)
Audioquest Colorado (under $175 right now)
Nordost White Lighting (slightly out of budget, but I can pull it off)
DIY DH Labs Pro Studio
DIY VH Audio Silver Interconnects
Edit: Wireworld Equinox 7
I’d like to keep it under $150USD for 1.0M pair.
Again, if there are any other suitable options, feel free to add them. The above list is just some un-educated guesses I threw out there.
Thanks so much!
