Higher end value cables


Need some advice folks. I have a pretty good audio system which is, I think, worthy of good cables. Honestly, the blue jeans cables look great for their price, but my reading indicates that bjc is terrific for mid to lower fi gear. So, love the prices of the bjc, but one step up in price and quality might be just the ticket. I have 11 components total, so I cannot afford hundreds of dollars per cable! Advice so needed...thanks a bunch and happy holidays

Have another related question. I have done a fair bit of reading regarding cables of various types. From what I have gathered, there isn't as much a difference in digital cables as there is in analog. Advice to me has been that you can see a big difference in SQ by putting some upgrade money into analog rca coax ic's, not so much in digital coax ic's. At least, not as dramatic or as important as the analog.

Now, for my inquiry. Speaker cables. There are a lot of articles on the internet that tell us that speaker cable is speaker cable. That you won't hear a difference in the wire between boutique expensive speaker wire and home depot wire. I have also been told from people I trust that you won't hear a difference until you get up into some crazy money wire, like $2000 or more. I have read reviews on this virtue audio nirvana speaker wire, and it is positive. Has anyone had experience comparing the nirvana with other wire? PS...have you? I have simple tributaries 12awg on a spool. Was thinking about putting some banana plugs on this wire and being done with it, but if the nirvana cable will give me an audio improvement then maybe I will go that way.
@easola01:

All I can say is, that in my system, which has world class tube preamp and mono amps, Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M and Magnepan .7 speakers, I can definitely hear differences between the speaker cables I’ve tried. Most recently, as I mentioned above, I have replaced the Blue Jeans 12AWG Belden with the Virtue Nirvanas and prefer the Virtues. You can likely get good results from 12AWG magnet wire but it’s s PITA to use, especially in a run much longer than say 5 or 6 feet. I’ve been there.  I've got no horse in this race.  I'm pretty sure Jason offers money-back trial period.  You've got nothing to lose except a few bux in postage.  As others have mentioned, there's also the Cable guys you could talk to.  Clear Day in Arizona makes some fine silver cables which are well-priced- the owner Paul is a great guy.

YMMV
Okay. Well, I would imagine the bjc is similar to my tributaries. I was just wondering if it is possible to get greater SQ in speaker wire that is around this budget as you can in interconnects. I am impressed with what I have read about virtue ic's. Sounds like a winner
Go to Audioquest’s website and download their price list. It will obviously give you retail pricing but more importantly it indicates differences between cables as you go up the line.Always good sounding you can see what fits your budget. Also the low end of Transparent has always been very musical although it’s been a long time since I’ve heard any. Good luck.
