I agree Austinbob, I don't know if AP is the best, but I never heard them sound bad.
cable reviews?
I read the forums and the online magazines and always wonder about the cable reviews. How can I discover what all of the hype is about. I have read promising reviews about cable brands such as Cardas, TARA Labs, and Transparent. I admit I’m leaning towards TARA due to many awards I’ve seen in AbsoluteSound magazine. Cardas also seems to be pretty good also. Any advice on which cables would best suit my system. I have a modest system, with the new Sony Digital front end (brilliant), Bryston electronics and B&W loudspeakers. Thank you

12-09-14: Schubert I have. Well maybe "bad" is a bit harsh, but they certainly weren't my cup of tea. The soundstage was too forward for my tastes, in my system, using the Crystal Oval 8 speaker cables. Tonally they were pretty well balanced, but I am not a fan of that front row, in your face presentation. I do know that some enjoy this, so to each their own. |
You may find this thread to be of interest. The bottom line: Do not expect a high degree of correlation between cable performance and cable price, for several reasons in addition to those that have been cited above. Regards, -- Al |
Welcome! Fschulz, the cable world is a wacky one at best. First and foremost, I am a "cable guy". The best advice I give, is to get out there and listen, listen, listen to any/all cables & power cords. Bryston electronics & B&W speakers do well w/ the following; Audioquest Nordost Transparent these brands will get you started. Keep me posted, I many years of experience and happy listening! |
