Elizabeth, I certainly agree the SR duplexes are just ordinary commercial grade stock that have had things done to them such as adding graphene or other substances to them and jolting them with 2 million volts. Those ordinary duplexes sound ordinary (I used a "Red" duplex prior to getting the Hubbels). SR does wonders to a $6 black duplex that makes it worth the $250 to me. Furutech has higher quality materials in their duplexes. I can't say whether they sound as good or better than SR duplexes and Furutechs don't get zapped with 2 million volts. My friend uses Oyaide duplexes and they sound fine as compared to stock duplexes.
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.
