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 🙏🏼
+1 to what @mesch said. Many start like this with cables along with their first pair of speakers and sources - - aligning their cable spend without going overboard. However if you suspect that you will upgrade speakers or upgrade core components again later, its definitely worth the extra time, money, and energy to investigate loaners or demos. Some retailers offer a 45-60 day return policy, and this can be super helpful to decide. |
I agree with a lot of the cable choices they're all OCC single crystal wire, that has been proven now for over 50 years to be the best wire for audio, there's no Crystal barriers in OCC single crystal wire, ofc wire has 700 Crystal barriers per foot that the signal has to jump through and that causes all kinds of bad things to happen. |
I've been observing cable threads for far too long. I can never makes heads or tails of them, I'm sure I could collate the entirety of them and find reviews claiming a particular cable or line of cables as best ever, others would state it being terrible, totally inferior to some other best cable or line of cables, and this goes on and on and on, and likely extends to every cable manufacturer.
What are cable reviews and recommendations worth in this case? I came to this conclusion many years ago, result was I auditioned wide variety of cables over many years from lending library at Cable Company. Yes, cables sound different, but my system totally unique, and changes to system have often necessitated changes in cables. I find cables to be fine tuning device, trying to generalize effects of cables extremely problematic IMO. |
Here are recommendations at the lower end of the cost spectrum: Canare 4S11 Speaker Cable, Terminated with choice of connectors from Blue Jean Cable - For example a 10’ pair at $106 from Blue Jean Cable Canare L-4E6S interconnects built to your specifications by Redco - For example 1 meter pair at $25 Power cables - Cullen Cable Avius at $129 for a 6’ cable. Patrick volunteered to update the connectors at no cost to very nice looking connectors. Zavfino also makes beautiful power cables for slightly higher costs.
