Experience with Black Cat and/or Triode lab Wires


I am considering Triode Lab Wire or Black Cat. I’m aware of the unfortunate passing of Chris, so I’m willing to buy used or new. My price range is $400 per meter for (rca/rca) interconnect, and $600 for SC’s. The Triode wires are priced in line with my budget, as are the entry level offerings from Black Cat. I have concern that while the Triode cable have a strong following, perhaps they’re geared toward low power amps and high efficiency speakers. Their company is called Triode after all. My system is a Naim XS integrated with phono and Harbeth C7's. I need Interconnects for Well Tempered Simplex 2 (RCA outputs) and then for step up transformer to phono. Also need speaker cables.

I have a full loom of Triode Wire Labs cables. They replaced a loom of cables that was 4x the price. The TWL cables are the best cables I have ever had in my system. They are very transparent with an incredible midrange, sweet highs that are never fatiguing and combine that with the best bass in a cable I have found. They are really good. I am running them with pass labs electronics so hardly low power tube gear. Give them a shot...Pete has a 30 day return policy so there is no risk and he is a fantastic guy to work with and very helpful.

i have not tried triode lab's cables

my experience with black cat cables is that they are on the clear fast and clean school of sound... great air/atmospherics, but careful system matching needed to avoid harshness and sizzle

Another 2 thumbs up for Triode Wire Labs!!  I also have a full variety of their cables, biwired set of speaker cables, interconnects, digital, power cords. They’re very well made, sound excellent & don’t break the bank.  
 

Maybe start w/one type, try it out & go from there.  

I have 3 of TWL Power cables and they are very nicely made and would recommend them. Haven't tried any of their other cables yet.

I have TWL Freedom ethernet cables. Pete is very easy to deal with, and the cables are excellent, and a very good price.

Also have a Black Cat Silverstar 75 ohm coax cable. It's very good.

Not sure about the entry level RCAs from Black Cat, but have heard good feedback from those who bought the TWL RCAs.
