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

@bigkidz Just curious if you tried the Mogami cables using just bare wire vs. crimping on spades?  I’d guess that might be even better?

Audio Envy recently came out with a new, top-of-the-line SC at real-world prices.  Worth exploring.

Well good for you @jasonbourne52 now leave the rest of us alone you tightwad. 

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!

@soix - from our experimentation there was not loss of sound quality.  We compared this to many higher priced cables so were $14K per foot and this was as good or better.  The thing that worked was separation of the pos and neg wires.

 

Happy Listening.
