Try what works for you in your system. All of us have different levels of equipment , speakers, cables and Dacs. In different listening environments
Cable Enthusiasts. When it comes to cables it’s about quality and matching. THOUGHTS?
I recently had a customer demo the Infigo vs. the Shunyata Omega. He gave me feedback. I have had customers go from Shunyata to Infigo. He claimed that in his system that the Shunyata Omega was better . He proceeded to tell me it wasn’t close. I proceeded to tell him one of my first customers heard our Infigo in his very expensive system and proceeded to purchase a whole loom of our Infigo because it sounded better in his system than the Shunyata and that customer said it wasn’t even close. The Infigo cables were better. I explained to him that your amps, dacs, and speakers will require different things depending on your combination. Also the cables also must be of good quality. That’s why I give free demos. All cables are not for all systems. Properly shielded and good materials. Just my opinion. What are your thoughts? I’m with Infigo Full disclosure.

When I discovered AudiogoN many years ago, I had no experience with high-end audio. I couldn’t afford much but was fascinated by the tech - and the underlying physics. I was like a sponge - learning from all of the veteran audiophiles in the various discussion groups. There were plenty of posters who ranted about ’high-end’ cabling as marketing nonsense. Not knowing who to believe, I took the easiest path of dismissing ’status’ brands. But I was always curious about their R&D. Each of the components in my modest system are from different companies. Several are boutique brands. I wondered if a full loom of cabling from the same company might provide a coherent and dynamic SQ. When I read this favorable review, I took the plunge to try just one - with a 30 day return trial period. It never went back. Now, I have almost a complete loom of Synergistic Research cabling. The tuning modules allow me to tweak the SQ. Along with cleaning up the power, my modest system has never sounded so good. |
@kennymacc +1 While a full loom of cables seems logical, I find it hard to believe that any cable company can make equally good interconnects - power cables - speaker cables or digital/HDMI cables. My personal experience backs this up; so, I won't ever go with a full loom of cables again, because there was always a let- down with something. Of course, YMMV. |
It's completely opposite. If a company knows how to make any cable correctly, they can make other cables correctly too. No company's figured out how to make a single cable correctly yet. I know this because I make all cables correctly. Alex/Wavetouch audio

I think many of you forget or don’t know cables are part of the circuit and depending on the resistance, capacitance and inductance of the cable that circuit is affected. EMI is just a very small part of it. I know of amps that have zero protection circuits and if you put in hi capacitance cables the amp will go into oscillation. Other systems too much inductance can cause a slight roll off to the top end, etc. Speaker cables can add to the inductance and capacitance of the speaker’s crossover if too hi. Etc. Many things are causing what we hear in different cables. |
