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

Silversmith Fideliums.  Period.

I don't know the science about them but it stopped any doubt I had that speaker cables can make a difference.  Somewhat cumbersome to install but Jeff will help with any issues and such.  I purchased the jumpers also. My speakers now do not have dual binding post.  The jumper set will be up For Sale here soon.

Look at Snake River Audio a small company out of Snake River Idaho. I use their Signature Series speaker cables, very detailed and engaging. The best cables that I have ever owned and I have owned a few.

Each set is made to order and burned in for 200 hours. The owner, Jonny Wilson , is a great guy to deal with

You might look at see of the wire In the furutech line. I have never tried there speaker car or Interconnect bulk wire I have tried an evolution 11 balanced interconnect. That was nice. I have used a bunch of there power products liked every one of them. The top of the line recepticals rodium plated as well as the gold plated ones. Lol there is a difference seems funny when you audition receptical s. Same with there top of the line plugs and IEC ends rodium plated. I also have a few sets of midline gold plated plugs as well. And two sets of there 55 powercord s. I ordered a set of the do it yourself interconnects and ends they should be here in a week or so that is for a second system. But basically I don't think you will go to wrong with there products. Cable selection is really a individual choice as well as equipment choice as far as how or what you are interested in. In my opinion you are painting a picture with you audio system. There are different flavors and no one audio system has it all it doesn't matter how much you spend you cannot recreate live music in your room. That being said the jump of faith becomes smaller as the system improves. Basically a Rembrandt painting and a Picasso painting are both beautiful but they are different. Don't forget that when changing your system. A person can always say my system is better than my friends etc but if fact two we'll built systems without glaring problems are a choice not which one is better but which one do I enjoy more. So on that note so far I like anything that I have bought that has been furutech and so can go a long way up in there line for the dollars you are thinking about spending.i also like the upper end of the transparent line but that will be above your price point.

I made the conscious decision to build my own cables vs. buy cables - both speaker cables and interconnects. I have no interest in spending $$$ for marketing and sales costs for a product that, in general, I can make myself. Again, that’s my personal choice and it could mean absolutely nothing to you.

I currently use pairs of Duelund Oil-coated cotton covered OCC copper for each side of each speaker connection - twisted to reduce noise impact. On the amp end it’s bare wire, on the speaker side it’s tube connectors. I also use cardboard tents to get them off the floor, but that’s it.

I can’t imagine much better performance with more financial investment - certainly not better value.
