Nordost cables are a notoriously fast, accurate (albeit bright) cable. Wilson is a fast accurate speaker. Fast+Fast is not really a good combo for my listening ear anyway. I wouldn't choose Nordost for anything but the slowest or tube based systems. Unless one prefers super bright and fast sound, then have at it. |
@jc51373 Nordost are fast and accurate, although i don’t think they are inherently bright. If your tweeter is a metal dome of some kind, then yes, the speakers can sound bright with Nordost ( which the older model Wilson’s did indeed). The new silk dome that Wilson uses is also quite accurate and I think the combo is very nice together. Nordost has a number of different cables, you do need to use a full loom and IMO you do need to choose which model works best with your gear, but if you are hearing brightness...this is typically a problem elsewhere, IME. YMMV. |
@mawashi - a Here’s a couple of brands
They all perform exceptionally well, but some are more "refined" Hope that helps

I second @williewonka ’s recommendations. I tried out many cables during the last 2 months, I have yet to hear a cable loom sounding as natural as the Zavfinos. I have a loom of Zavfino Prima mk.II, Fusion RCA mk.II and Highlands mk.II phono SME DIN to RCA playing right now. Among all the cables I tried on my system, only the high end Audioquest loom had better results. BUT these were AQ William Tell Zero & Bass cables (€5k in bundle price)and Audioquest Earth RCAs for a total of €6.5k excluding phono cables. I hesitated a bit on the purchase, but just in principle, paying more than half of what my speakers are worth for speaker cables and RCA cables seemed almost indecent and I returned (grudgingly I might add haha) the cables to my dealer. Just my two cents ;) |
