Speaker cable manufacturers

System synergy matters ..... Big time.

Your search for quality speaker cables is a synergy alchemy that must
include the effects on all of : your electronics , your speakers , your other
cables (ICs and power), and your room particulars .

It will involve a hands-on actual test-drive experimentation at some point .
Your risk of a "bad" choice will likely diminish by sticking to the larger
manufacturers.

In any case, any "blind" ad hoc arbitrary $$ budget ceiling solicitation
alone without
consideration to the above will only get you heavily biased personal value
judgements with negligible assurance that they will actually sound good in
YOUR actual system

OK so I have only about 50 hrs on the new Cabledyne cable and switched back to the MIT 750's and here is what i find. The Cabledyne is cleaner and has more hi end energy. It is not fatiguing, no edge at all. (sometimes more hi end means fatigue) Instruments seem more life like. The differences are subtle but are there. I need more time with them but that is the preliminary observations.

Hi all,
I have been a big fan of the Audience AU24 "e" line of cables but are out of your budget I know. HOWEVER, last year I decided, after speaking with a different manufacturer that I would try some new cables. The Audience are obviously very good cables but I thought ultimately that I could find a better cable in terms of absolute transparency. These new cables were less than half the price of my then reference AU24 power cords and Au24"e" interconnects. When I put these new cables in starting with interconnects there was an immediate improvement in clarity, spaciousness and presence... and tonal balance (something the Audience was a bit lacking in). As it turned out after 10 or so hrs of continuous play a new level effortlessness, scale and 3D imaging became easily distinguishable the likes of which were new to me in my system. Now with well over 200 hrs I believe I have found my transparency holy grail... at least for the moment. The reference power cord from this manufacturer was another story altogether. After having several hundred hours on it and thinking it already better than the Audience AU24 at more than double the price, it wasn't until I drove some friends speakers with a more difficult load (4 ohm instead of my 8 ohm) speakers for a few days continuously that the power cord really left what I thought a power cord could do in the dust with its huge, powerful, effortless, TRANSPARENT, detail, smooth fully realized potential.

The cables are ZENTARA. USA made by a real accredited electrical and materials engineer with a tremendous resume. All his reference level products are priced at right around a grand. I Hope this is a helpful addition to the discussion.

Ok so here is the results of my audition period with Cabledyne Silver reference Speaker Cables"
The Cabledyne speaker cables are beautifuly made. Somewhat thinner than I expected and very user friendly.
The SQ was detailed & clean on the hi end, more pronounced bass than I expected but NOT bloated. However the sound was forward, can be a bit too much.

My current cable is MIT MusicHose 750. It was not as clean and detailed but very close. Leaner in the bass but not thin sounding either. The biggie here is that the MIT sounded more relaxed, more condusive to longer listening sessions, lower fatigue.
In the end I returned the Cabledyne, only becuase it wasn't better than my current cable. If I had nothing to compare to I probably would have ended up keeping it. I really wanted it to make an improvement so my search continues but I am doubtful of finding anything.
