Life long DIYer, been running nothing but Canare interconnects for around 25 years and never bother with anything else, cheap to build, sound superb in mobile and home audio, single ended and balanced. I have never tried their speaker cables, just used the proper gauge of OFC and been quite happy but will have to give the Canare a try, cheap to build as well and I bet I like them just fine. I build my own speakers and can tune them to sound how I like, no need to spend big money to make my system sound different. I do prefer a neutral, balanced, smooth sound, why I normally use tube amps and AKM based DACs.
Speaker Cables : Moderate priced
I am about to embark on upgrading speaker cables ( long over due ). Currently use Tributaries 12 awg UL copper cable. I need a long run for one speaker ( about 20 feet) and this has impacted the budget. I hope to spend around 1500 dollars. Looking for a musical tonally rich sound. I am not a detail nut.
Looking at the usual options: triode Wire, Audio Art Copper, Ice Age, Luna cables to name a few.
Wonder what the crowd has experienced in this price range; and open to new suggestions.

Canare 4s11 is a good cable. Its fault is in omission. It’s not as extended and doesn’t have the separation and clarity of the AU24SX but it sounds decent.

Mogami is the cable you use when you either sold your good cables and have the mogami as a backup to hold you over, or are listening to the system that’s on the level of mogami…low-fi or lower tier mid-fi. It has no place in a good system as it will limit its potential. |
