2. cables

Well... guess I have to jump in the rabbit hole of speaker cables... lol

I just bought a pair of 10 T’s and am having a raspy edge on the high end. I contacted Mr. Kelly at Aeriel Acoustics and I sent the tweets to them for an evaluation...  tweets are in good shape! I have replaced everything in the system except the spk cables... I bought BJ cables the 10 ga. Belden etc. I have a dear friend in the high end audio business and is sending me a higher end pair of cables. Not sure what they are going to be but he is excited for me to try them....

Are the Belden really that bad? Can they be the cause of the raspy bad guys?

I am really looking forward to this... not so much for my wallet... she is scared. 

Looking forward to the great experience here on the GON...

I am not running anything as the tweeters are still in Mass. with Mr. Kelly. They should be back later this week. Chad is sending the cables... I am borrowing them to remove the Belden from the equation. I sold the Mac so I will wait until I buy the Parasound A-21 or 21+ to really listen and evaluate the impact the cables have. 

The CD player has been a solid component for me... DVD-2900. 

The 10T’s need current so the A21 will satisfy that.

I want to do this right and simple.... not so simple huh. Lol

I am fortunate I have Audiogon and Mr. Kelly, who is a true gentleman in every aspect along with My friend Chad who is incredibly talented and respected in the audio video biz.

I had to tame some speakers once, that would put your eye out with the wrong equipment. Ended up with a Butler amp which slightly rolls off the top.

 The best speaker cables I owned for this set up were Audioquest 8.

Yeah, I would look at your source and the cabling.  Nice speakers, they are going to tell you a whole lot more about what’s going on upstream. The Denon was nice in its day, but modern DACs are really getting good.  You owe it to yourself to try something else with the 10t’s.
