Help with speaker cable recommendations please

I would avoid some of the bigger names like: Nordost, MIT, Synergistic, Transparent, Cardas, etc. Buying used was excellent advice however. I am very impressed with Inakustik cables and for lower dollars: Crimson and Analysis Plus. There is a newer company out there named Bionics Cables which uses some of the technology of Mosiac that is extremely  good. I have always thought that the smaller lesser known manufacturers made a much better product than the big boys.

No affiliation with - just a very satisfied consumer.
I use and love an entire loom of Audio Art Cable.  Dealer on here.
Strongly suggest an email or phone call to Rob Fritz @ Audio Art Cable as he is an outstanding guy to chat with and will never steer you wrong.  His entry level products perform well above their price class and it just gets better as you move up.  I have the classic series on up and it all has some serious sonic prowess and I say this having owned several AudioQuest cables as well.  

If you're  satisfied with the sound, don't  drive yourself nutty and lighten your wallet on this merry go round

Lots of great cables out there and really none of us are going to be much help. If you don’t have a local dealer(s) with variety you can try at home then it makes it more difficult. Buying used is a safe bet playing Russian roulette because if you don’t like you can resale at little to no loss. I’ve had very good luck reaching out to cable manufactures that were not in my local area and they were great to work with and will send you some demos to make sure you like their cables and sometimes they have show demo wires they’ll sale at a discount.

Nothing wrong with the big names; they spend a lot on engineering but marketing as well. Obviously working with some of these companies directly is probably not going to happen, although many years ago we didn’t have Kimber locally and I called and spoke to Ray Kimber and bought from him which when my cables arrived they had in a box of Pepperidge Farm Cookies inside as well. Dealer shortly picked them up after I brought my cables in and shared my story.

All depends on what sounds right to you and what you’re looking for. Good luck.

Rob Fritz from Audio Art Cables is one of the good guys.  I have bought many cables from him and they always sounded good and looked as good as the much more costlier big name brands.

If you like the Audioquest type sound, I would recommend moving up in the line.  There are always used Audioquest cables here for sale.
