Speaker cable recommendations


I have a Hegel H-390 and Dynaudio Heritage Specials which have great synergy. Any recommendations for speaker cables that maximize that synergy? I am hoping to find a cable that is also a good balanced solution price wise as opposed to a cable that retails for as much as the two components. Thanks for any help with this first world problem , as I do feel really blessed to have finally found such a great sounding system after my 55 years of enjoying my stereos.

What cables are you using now? What’s not working for you now? Your speakers are $7k retail, right? Best to answer member @spenav ’s question first to get help.

Depending on what guidelines you follow, i.e. 15% is just over a grand on speaker cables. If you are looking for a simple baseline, sorry, the HomeDepot zipcord gimmick is unshielded low grade twisted copper with no dialectric, junk, sounds grainy, unresolving, a total waste of time and $ imo. If you have nothing now, you could at least start with Cardas 101 speaker cable for $6.75 per foot as a baseline test. They can’t make the stuff fast enough. A cheap start option. Keep speaker cable length short to save $. Perhaps you can reveal your max budget first if you don’t want to send yourself and others in a tailspin asking general synergy questions.  

 

 

Can't go far wrong with audioquest type 4....audio advisor will make you a pair however you like. Balanced/neutral cable for not a lot of money

 

GR Research has some excellent cables. 

If you’re willing to add your own connectors, Monoprice offers some excellent low cost bulk cables that will rival many of the big brands.

My goto standard.
