Speaker Cables for SET Amp


What type of speaker cables sound best with SET amps? Thin, Thick, Copper, Silver, or a combonation?

I went from thin (Mapleshade and Omega Mikro) to thick (shotgunned Home Depot 14 gauge outdoor extension cord). Cable cost went from $600 to under $20. The HD stuff is still there after amost 2 years, so it must be doing something right. My SET monoblocks have 845 outputs, EL-34 drivers, and ECC31 (6N7) inputs, for what it's worth. Good luck, Dave
auditorium 23 cables. relatively thin copper. particularly good for longer runs. i bought a pair earlier this year and couldnt be happier with them.
if you can swing it, transparent audio.

i'll be covering this in a review i'll have on dagogo.com, but the thing is that with any amp that does not have an optimal power supply (defined as 2x power as impedance is 1/2'd), the transparents "evidently" perform an impedance matching function, manifest as enhanced bass performance (depth / pitch). - the cables allow the amp to see an easier load (don't ask me how; my experience drives my assumption, but does make perfect sense), which is highly beneficial for less-than-current monster amps.

with a Wavac SET, the transparents were revelatory and indispensible. with a Belles 350a Reference, they were outclassed by anticables.
I find that tubes and silver cables work really well together. I currently use Ridge Street Poiema!! speaker cables with a pp EL-34 amp to great effect. Of course there is no one right answer, experiment. It is very easy with cables to just buy, try, and sell right here on Audiogon until you find something that you like. Another thing, you haven't specified a budget which makes suggestions pretty hard. So more info please.
