Bang for the buck vs. “money no object” cable recommendations

If you're really on a budget, Digikey sells Switchcraft connectors which are almost as good as ETI, but 1/10 the price.

Yep, Silversmith Fidelium are both the best bang for the buck cable and the best cost no object cable.

In my opinion of course.

the OP  has  been around here for a while and should understand that there will be many options / suggestions when it comes to cables.    no different when looking for a equipment or speakers.....everyone will have their own suggestion.

the OP just needs to find a cable that is in his price range, try it and if he doesnt like it, resell it.          he has done the same thing with equipment ,so this would be no different.

If money is no object. Then I would be happy to fabricate custom silver cables. Air tube suspension, Sealed tube, and full spectrum shielding for starters. My work has replaced most of the cables listed so far in this thread. I have a showroom with examples of my silver cables in use and I expect to show cables at several shows this year including Munich. There is a dealer in Maryland with my copper cables in showrooms.

Kimber and cardas are best bang for buck and their best stuff is about as good as it gets too.
