AudioQuest Type-4 - No Frills Build Speaker Cables, with BFA style banana plugs on both ends, from Audio Advisor. Relatively inexpensive, well built cables, with good, solid connectors.
Speaker cable recommendations in my budget
I really hate to open this can of worms. I know people tend to be very passionate about their cables and how heretical someone else’s choice is. But, here goes anyway.
if it matters, I have a Denon AVR4806 & JM Labs speakers. Both are about 7 or 8 yrs old. I need 8’-10’. I really only want to spend less than $150 but, I’d go to $200 if there some phenomenal cable that would rock my world.
On the site & in that range are: AntiCabled, Schmitt, PS Audio, Audio Quest, NBS Serpent, Harmonic Tech & Audio Quest Serpent.
Do any of you see the glaring top 2 or 3 I should pick from? There’s now real audio shop around me that sells this stuff.
PLEASE: Don’t recommend dumping my receiver or speakers & no fights.

@OP, How would I make my own? I see all these descriptors like “cryo treated” & all kinds of other “balanced” & treatments. Seems way above my head. Here is a link to a cable making thread. https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/how-to-solder-an-illustrated-diy-guide-to-making-your-own-cables.17885/ Re: Cryo treated. I would leave that alone for the time being. Re: Balanced. There are two types of connectors, balanced and unbalanced (RCA). Google and Wikipedia will help you understand the differences. Start slowly, and get a grip on the terms and differences. Soon you will know everything. And, if you need help, just ask. Bob |
