Cables are system dependent. So, without knowing which speakers you have, its hard to give you any meaningful advice.Also, you should take any such advice with ’two graints of salt’ if its provided by somebody who has not listen the combination of amp/speaker that you have.If you could try cables before buying, it would be best solution for you...perhaps loaning first from some friend or a friendly dealer or from Cable co. Do not hesitate to buy sh product...sometimes, older, discounted top models are worth finding...
Cheapest but good cables….
Ok, I’m setting up a little system, a Benchmark AHB2 and DAC3 HGC. I had old Kimber cables laying around but they are going to be too short. These are from 15 years ago and I’m sure they were good and expensive. However, I’ve been a bit skeptical about speaker cables and interconnects and was going to ask here if it’s all BS but I see an older thread where almost everybody agrees that quality cables are extremely important - duh, more money!
I don’t want to go overboard on twelve foot speaker cables but I don’t want to sell myself short neither after splashing out way more than I intended to on this system.
im looking for recommendations for the cheapest cables that I’ll barely hear a difference when comparing to expensive cables.
thanks in anticipation

Hard pressed to beat Mogami for cheapest and best. Here on Audiogon is a small builder doing speaker cables and interconnects with Neutrik connectors. I ran a pair of his balanced on a 30K pair of active speakers and they rocked. Or you can order plain speaker wire non-terminated. Hey, for less than $3.00/ft. You cannot go wrong. These run a pair of Mordaunt-Short 10 monitors. |
