Running All Your Cables with The same Brand

Hello everyone,

I was just pondering on the thought that if when running all your cables that are produced by the same company, can it make a difference? My first purchace was a pair of Harmonic technology Pro 9 speaker cables,and i fell in love with them the moment i hooked them
up.Next was a digital cable(platinum series),and was again taken aback at how well it performed.i am soon to have a pair of interconnects Magic
2's,also by HT,and and ac cord too boot,all by the afore mentioned manufacture.

my qeury is this,if I am going this route,by having all wiring being the same brand,can this be of benefit to my gear? And do you think it can create a form of synergy overall on my equipment?

See this thread, and the links to other threads which I provided in my post in that thread dated 1-19-15. Regards, -- Al

No, using all of one brand of cable will not make gear last longer or otherwise benefit the equipment. The equipment will not know if you are using one brand or different brands. Can you enjoy the sound of one brand of cable? Certainly, many do, while many others like to mix and match. There are no absolutes. Cheers, John

After many years of using an assortment of pieced together brands I opted for one brand. This decision was helped along especially after buying new speakers. The speakers are "voiced" with this particular brand and it made a huge difference in the overall presentation from dynamics to lower noise floor, better detail and soundstaging..

In my case, I use Darwin silver ICs and Clear Day SCs and if you look into their design philosophy, they both are quite similar and give excellent synergy and results. All the best, Nonoise

But my components are a mix of brands, purchased according to the individual sonic performance they offer. So to the question of synergy, yes is my answer. To the question of component benefit, I doubt it.
