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

I recently built a set of cables very similar to what GR Research sells with braided low oxygen copper cables and BFA type low mass connectors.  Total cost a couple hundred and I am very happy with the results.

In general, think of buying used… typically 1/2 original price. Used cables is a great place. The $3,000 new price range is a very good range to be in. I usually read reviews via Stereophile and the Absolute Sound to find the characteristics I am looking for.

 

There are also a lot of folks around here that love Silversmith Fideliums. I have not heard them yet.

Yes, definitely ignore JasonBourne.

Two pair of AQ Rocket 88 and then you can biwire those beasts. Buy used.

I'm running 16 strand speaker cables from GR Research. No desire to try anything else. Smooth, dynamic, and holographic with good material.
