Cable Costs Relative to System

Dave_b, the accelerators are ok but SR's Apex are 100 times better. I'm curious to see what you would think of an all SR top-O-line cables with a Powercell and a Teslaplex outlet. ;-)

Maybe I'll try it from Robert at the Cable Co...but I really can hardly believe the synergy I have achieved for so little!

My hat is off to many of the writers in this thread: so informative from 2001 forward! I'm a total newbie and just bought a 100$ monster cable for my new tv but have no idea what cable is best for my new cambridge audio amp. Is there a recommended budget cables list somewhere online, like at an audio mag, that someone could link to?

ASI Liveline Cables....
These are, I would call one of the best cables on the market today. They are neither cheap nor expensive. A pair of IC costs $995. But they just do everything right and sonically correct for most systems...regardless of price.
Most of the times people go for higher and higher in the cable chain because they do not want to under utilize their system. Cables do play their own trick in the final presentation of the sound but who knows what would have been the exact size of your soundstage if the electronics were all in one box (no cables in between)....basically if we can get a cable which brings out almost everything and presents it in a manner where there is not much to find flaw with (though one can still find some) you would be pretty much done. Getting to this point in general is a long and expensive process unless you have some 500 different cables from different price range to try out from.

This is when we start looking for a "GEM" which does that fine balancing act of doing everything to a level where you stop bothering further!!
I found the Livelines just that....
Very neutral, exceptionally fine tonal balance, nice presentation (soundstage width, depth, precision), Rich and detailed, fatless but full of body and texture, leading edge and trailing edge clarity, definition and decay...you name it!!!

What more can you ask for ? And they are priced in a bracket where its affordable but not cheap. When you hear them, you would not be able to take them off your mind..I can bet.
