A cable that is often overlooked is the Supra line. They have geometry similar to the Canare cable note above but I believe the materials of the Supra cables are superior. An easy DIY project. Suggest high quality terminations that are pressure fitted, i.e. fastened with set screws. I think solder just messes things up and is difficult to do well on heavy gauge wire.
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.

Find Zu Audio cables on eBay. They sell there as auctions, or you can get them full price on their website https://www.zuaudio.com/ . Depending on length, you may be around $200. You pick the termination (or none at all). Libtec looks nicer, but all look good. Sound? Barrel of worms. Not any worse than any other you will buy. If anyone tells you that you could get it better, remind them it is a Denon receiver, etc. Not that there is anything wrong with Denon receiver. |
