Need help buying new speaker cable

Please don’t take away the impression that most folks don’t think most cables sound differently. That is false and a minority view. Depending on your system, your listening skills and preferences they can sound very different. I have never heard a very good sounding system in which the cables and interconnects were not carefully chosen and no great sounding systems where the owner has gone a great deal further.

I think most of us with substantial experience have heard “component level” improvements with a cable or interconnect at one time or another although typically the change is more subtle but important.

Larry, Borrow some cables from your dealer at your price range. See what YOU hear. Different cables act different in different systems. Some cabes sound more or less the same and some sound very diferent in each system.

I once had a system that Anti-cables worked great on. Changed out speakers and the Anti-cables sucked. Getting ideas is great, but you have to live with the cables.

Dont fall for the wire is wire trap. I like a more organic sound in my system, but sometimes I want a little Hi-Fi Sound for a change of pace. I just change my wire.

I sent you a PM with an offer to try some cable to evaluate.  If you are interested let me know.

If you feel the need to experiment, borrow some cables from the Cable Company or from someone or somewhere else.  I think you will find there is a difference between cables in your system. If you don’t hear a difference, or hear anything better than the Tara Lab that you have, keep it.  If you go the Cable Company route, ask what they charge for borrowing in the event you do not purchase. 

You can buy monoprice speaker cable for a good cost.
