The above generally is good advice. Except perhaps within a manufacturer's lines of cables, there rarely is a hard and fast correlation between price and quality of a cable--there are giant-killers out there and there are giants too. Your JOR (I was thinking of bidding on that piece myself!) is a good enough piece of equipment that you will benefit from cables that are better than zip cord or the patchcords included with your sources, but the particular sound that suits you (and believe me, EVERY cable degrades the sound to some extent, so they can and do sound different) will depend on your ears and your budget. Try to find a dealer who will let you borrow several wires in your price range and let your ears decide. The Cable Company is pretty good as a source for cable lending, if you don't have a good local dealer. And there are also a number of cable manufacturers who will give money-back trials of their wires, as noted above.
Could some one explain how to buy best cables?
Economically that is. I am really confused. I look at clasified and there is price range from few hundred to few thousands! I am in market for interconnects for my new 'small' Jadis electronics based system.
Could you explain how to differentiate between snake oil and real thing?
What constitutes SOA cable?
What does $X000 cable does that $x00 does not?
thx,
