Speaker cables recomendation for Luxman L509X / Dynaudio Contour 30i

I hope somebody can recommend speaker cables between Luxman L509X and Dynaudio Contour 30i. For now I am using Signal cable Ultra until I buy better cables. Looking for new cables in range of $1000 that may add some "weight" and details.

Thanks

Cardas cables are the warmest in the least expensive category and become less so in each level up. That is by design. Yes Cardas Clear would be a good choice paired with a Luxman. Which is best will be a call depending on your tastes. I would not consider any of Cardas to be warm and cuddly. They are all seriously good… but with a construction favoring different kinds of equipment. As far as I know this is the only company taking such a pragmatic approach.

I'm using a 507ux with 2-way stand mounts and the quad Mogami cables I'm using have been superb performers in the bass.

@densen17 - I woud steer slear of high capacitance cables, e.g. like TOTL Cardas cables, because they tend to have a very high capacitance.

An aquaintance used them on a Gryphon amp and blew some components due to internal oscilation issues

Depending on the size of your wallet I would suggest these brands

  • Audio Envy - very affordable and very good performance
  • Zavfino - their upper end of their product line are extremely good (within your budget)
  • InAkustik - getting up there, but very good cables (a little above your budget)
  • Hijiri - dig deep into that wallet and you will be rewarded with amazing sound (Something to aspire too)

Hope that helps - Steve
