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

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.

Well you have to ask yourself what do you want more. Since you DIY you interconnect and HP cables, you know what you have, hence the fist step is done.

Next, ask your self, do you want more base or more highs? Larger diameter conductors in the cables will give you more base and smaller diameter conductors will give you more highs. 

If you want more details and "speed" or attack you should search for a cables with more air in the dielectric and around the conductors of the cable.

 

@hausera - since you appear to be into DIY, take a look at this site

The cables are excellent performers - fast and detailed with exceptoinal imaging.
