Cables recommendation


Hello everyone,

I currently own 803D3, C2700 pre and MC462 amp. I also have an Oppo 105D and  Denon X4700 that power the surround speaker. I’m now in the look for cables to fire this system up the best I can but to keep the spending reasonable. I currently do not have any cables.

I’ll appreciate everyone’s opinion and suggestion on cable speakers, power cables, interconnects from 2700 to 462 and other cables I should buy to get the most out of this system. I know many have similar systems as this one and would love to hear your recommendations.

Another important thing to note is that I do not have a streamer and thought to use the Oppo for this reason (maybe connect it to DA2 DAC of the C2700?) or maybe get a Sonus streamer. 

Thanks 🙏🏼

not believing in capacitance, induction, conductance/conductivity ...nor differences in quality of materials , shielding etc...

most certainly places you in your "alternatve universe."

 

Zavfino is really good - had the Prima mkII SC/PC, sold them and just got the Nova SC again - it’s a fun/addictive sound - they’re like the Naim of speaker cables.

@lalitk you have WAY Cables now?  I think I saw mention those somewhere.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying Zavfino cables. IMO, they punches way above their suggested price. I am now using Zavfino and HIJIRI cables. I mentioned WAY cables other day due to their unusual appearance and Unique Xtreme Damping System for each audio cable type. Thought they look interesting and worth an audition some day :-)

I would recommend a neutral cable that won’t color the sound from your nice speakers. As suggested try a few different brands to find your favorite. I’m using Nordost Heimdall level in my system. Reasonable price and great performance. Good luck!

I shop used for such things, and there are bargains to be had.

I have Analysis plus for interconnects and speakers and pangea for power.

Gene is a bit too much of a denier for me, but he makes sense in this video when he suggests that getting the room correct is a necessary precondition for any cable choice. It is a far bigger factor.
