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.
I think Dueland might be a better choice.

Moving up the DIY chain would be the Neotech NES-3002 but it’s a pain to terminate ( need to be patient). Scroll to the bottom of the page.

Keep both left and right channels runs length identical

 

Mogami  3103 or 3104 for speaker cables,  and 2549 for interconnects. Excellent quality and performance. 

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. 
I personally prefer Canare 4s11 speaker cables and Blue Jeans interconnects to any Mogami including Studio Gold. They sound fuller and more natural to me. 

Highly recommend Mogami as a primary cable.  My experience is they dont' subtract anything, while high-end speakers rely on some subtraction to create more imaging or detail.  Markertek has both single and quad types.

I would have a careful look at DHLabs cables. These are my goto budget cables and interconnects. Many folks will recommend them, top notch, reasonable cost.
