unfortunately there is no huge selection from this in my country, and it's not so easy to ask to audition several of them.
i'm planning to visit nyc , so i'll try my luck there.
that's the reason i asked for some recommendations, but i got more than i taught from it 🙂
so i really appreciate all of your suggestions.
recommended speaker cables and interconnects
trying to upgrade step by step my stereo system, after not dealing with it for awhile.
right now have 3 kinds of speaker cables.
old audio quest , and an old monster cables.
a bit newer Kimber cable that are too short for my current configuration.
for interconnects, one pair of MIT mi-330
and one pair of Audioquest Ruby 2.
looking to upgrade for moderate price.
can’t give a budget range cause i am not familiar with the prices .

The very worst and best interconnect I have ever heard on my system were Nordost. I tried a ~Frey 2…. Did not get along at all with my system… but the Odin 2 interconnects were absolutely heaven. Unfortunately, they cost a bit more than I could justify ($17K). You have to match the interconnect’s likely character… then try it. It usually works… sometimes it doesn’t.
I have tried Blue Jeans… I do not recommend them. I found them comparable with what comes with your component. |
Hey @bobbyloans, I also had the Parasound Pre/Power set up, Mine was JC2/JC5. I'm writing in past tense because I recently got a new preamp from Cary. Anyway, I was using Kimber Kable Hero balanced for my digital chain: Streamer -> Pre -> Power, and was mostly happy with them. I think they are pretty good cables for the price. I recently upgraded from Hero to their Select line, specifically the KS-1116, and got a nice improvement especially from Pre -> Power connections. I then was comparing the Kimber Select with Cardas Clear Reflection for my Streamer -> Pre connections. They both sounded pretty good, and I ultimately kept them both, and for now I'm using mostly the Cardas for Streamer -> Pre connections. The Cardas has a bigger soundstage, and nicer separation of instruments, whereas the Kimber Select is a tag fuller on the bass. I know there are a lot of believers on using a full loom of cables from the same manufacturer. I try to follow that path myself, but ultimately I let my own ears to make the decision. Kimber Kable does sell directly via their website, and has a very generous 60 days home trial policy. Hope this helps. |
