Cable recommandations


Hello,

Im interested in a recommendation on speaker cables new or used. My budget is is 1500. Here is what I have:

Don Sachs preamp, Don Sachs amp, Tekton Double Impacts, Mytek Brooklyn DAC II+. Bluesound Node, DIY silver speaker cable, DIY interconnects and power cord. Shuguang black treasure tubes on amp and preamp, Brimar rectifier.

 

Thanks

Since I left behind my Mogami 2477 OFC coax speaker cable when I moved down South 7 years ago I had to replace it. A friend in NY had a 50 ft piece of Q Audio Time Stream speaker cable. This is a Canadian company. I paid him $50 and had it shipped to me. I cut it into four 12.5 ft pieces, added banana plugs and this is what I have been using with my various speakers. I am happy and have no need/urge to upgrade/splurge on some other costly audiophile brand!

 Gotta disagree with JB ^^^. You say you are using silver speaker cables, just try swapping them out with a pair of something copper. You should notice a difference. If not, save your money, but I would first try some inexpensive copper and see where that leads....

DIY speaker cables could very well be the answer to your question, lord knows I’ve made at least 5 pairs of speaker cables, and some power cables and interconnects using various types of wire that sounded good, and each pair sounded a bit different. With that said you could audition a pair of PRIMA MKII OCC SPEAKER CABLES, that have been known to have a lot of bang for the buck and decide what sounds best for yourself. Hey, if you don’t like what you hear return them for a refund, no harm no foul.

 

I like Synergistic Research stuff (for cables especially), but there are several other brand names that I could heartily recommend as well. Shunyata makes a good cable. So does Van den Hul.

Personally, I’m looking forward to trying out a pair of SilverSmith Fedeliums, but since I have no direct experience with them, I can only mention that they’re getting good reviews.

And JC I wish this place had a "user mute/ignore" function!

Always the same guy, always the same useless "save the world from itself" crap.....

 

If you want to get as close to "no cable" as possible, consider Wire World. That has been their design goal since the early 90s.
