Hi Thiel 'Goners. Just thought I would chime back in after a reading the new thoughts about cables. I have been running my 3.6s, via ARC LS 26 pre and ARC DS 450Ms monoblocks, with a limited number of speaker cable options starting with BJC Beldons. I was just starting out a couple of years ago with this component match and discovered a new pair of Tara Labs TL 2/14 for a reasonable price on Amazon: $300 for 6ft pair (no longer available). Once installed I noticed quite a bit more warmth, bass girth, and less treble fatigue than the BJCs. I am a concert violinist by profession so treble resolution and general overall warmth are important to my ears. Later on last year, after consulting with the Cable Company, I was encouraged to try some Tara Prime RSC 2s however they were beyond my price point at the time: about $700. My recent compromise purchase this year was a pair of gently used Tara 8 ft Vector 1 RSCs: luckily found on A'gon for $375. These are much larger, separated cables and I can't believe what a difference even from the TL 2/14s! Imaging, definition, soundstage, dynamic range, and timing have all been enhanced all without sacrificing warmth. I have also had Tara Vector 1 and Prime interconnects throughout my rig for some time now and absolutely love the sound!
