Is there any issue with your current cables?
Budget re-cabling
I am considering re-cabling (changing out receiver, SACD player) on the main room system (5.1 and 2.1).
Front: B&W Nautilus 804 Center: B&W HTM61 S2 Rear: temporary Infinity Reference 2 or Dayton 2 way.
HDMI Oppo 103 to Onkyo TX-RZ810: if critical at all, budget $30 or so?
Cables: new speaker for front/center. 10ft left/right each, 6 ft center (or 25 total). Budget $5-$6 per foot (may consider suggestions up to $10 there is something to gain).
I know this budget is mind bogglingly high (never spent that kind of money on cables, but want to go all out).
So what are the best speaker cables for way below $10/ft? Good comparison tests (with price in mind)? Maybe comparison with 'DIY' or 'Repurposed' (using commercial cable repurposed for audio)? Links? Read ups?
NOT INTERESTED IN PIXEL DUST and ESOTHERIC CABLES.

@kraftwerkturbo - Many years ago I was in your position and dabbled in DIY solutions, thinking I could do a better job for less money. Since then, and many cables later, not to mention thousands of audition hours, I realized that most of the cables available today offer very little in terms of real benefit. To provide a little understanding as to what I believe makes a good cable, take a look at this thread If you are not really into DIY, take look at Audio Envy cables
If you want to upgrade to higher performance later, take a look at Zavfino cables Both these cables use excellent wire, insulations and cable geometries Here’s hoping I have saved you some money, time and effort Regards - Steve

@lak I have the Micca on my radar. When they "PAIR" (and show 2 cables) do I get 2x 4m? The Raven cables at $250 ("pair") are already pushing the budget, but they offer free 45 days. |
