Best Sounding Speaker Cables?

That is easy, it depends. On your system and values. To my tastes and system the Cardas are a touch too warm, and the Nordost are a touch on the cool side of neutral and lack bass.. I am not that familiar with the other.

I have owned a number of Cardas and have always found them on the warm side of neutral, loosing some high end details, or at least putting it in the background. I have auditioned some Nordost Frey 2… they did not work well at all with my equipment too harsh. I feel that Transparent cables and interconnects in all my systems have been neutral… with my current components a very good thing… something that was not a good thing when I had much lower level components.

Thank you ghdprentice! Great feedback!

More like the "Clowns to the left of me. Jokers to the right" thread.

There's a small third group. We don't recommend what we own or anything else other than what integrates into the system well.

For the googleth time, Specific FanBoy recommendations are WORTHLESS unless the equipment, room, program and listener are exact duplicates!

12 zip cord. The no BS eminently capable alternative to pseudo science and trolls.

We tried tested many speaker cables for  my Audio research GS pre and power system. The most succesful cables were Nordost Walhalla , Echole Omnia and Tchernov ref. Of course the reaction of your system to cable is very important. Always try before buying.
