I use high end fake Kimber. They look great and I can BS my friends into hearing the difference 2k speaker cables can make. Here's my dilemma, I can buy these cables at $75 a pop. I think I could sell them (only locally) to people I know for about $400. Come on, would it really be wrong? They will feel good about getting expensive cables at a low price. They will never know, they will thank me, and I buy better beer. Everybody wins.
Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
I currently have a system which consists of Vandersteen 5A's, THor Audio TP-150 tubed monoblocks, Thor Line Stage and Thor phono stage, Marantz SACD player SA-114 and will take delivery of the VPI Prime Scout with a Sumiko EVOS 3 Cartridge. I am currently using LAT International Speaker Cables, Power Cords and Interconnects. (They are no longer in business). I am in immediate need of turntable cables and would like to update my new speaker cables and interconnects. Not willing to spend thousands on this upgrade. Seeking to capture as much of the "magic" that the super expensive cables deliver but at a more realistic price point. I understand that I have really good quality equipment, but at this stage of my life cannot allocate mega dollars towards cables.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I believe the OP was simply looking for some informed advise on good value on interconnects, not a lecture or comedy. I'll add my good experience with WireWorld. I don't have their phono cable; but I do use their RCAs between my phono stage and preamp. They seem to sound slightly more balanced than a pair of boutiques costing 3 times as much.....but that could be an auditory mirage. So if they're that close, I am impressed with the less expensive. And their design story may be a fairy tale; but it amuses me. There. That wasn't so hard. |
