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?

Zyac39-

not a bad thought in theory. Yes you could run all cables/cords w/ the likes of Transparent, Cardas, Kimber, Nordost just to name a few.

Cables/power cords (especially) are my 1st love and facet of our hobby. My reference power cord, at this juncture, is the Stage III Concepts. My 2nd choice would be Silent Source Musical Reference. 3rd choice would be a Wireworld Electra 7. You can deduce how this list would carry on...

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Signal cables and power cables from the same brand as well? How about this: all signal cables are the same model (IC and SC)?

I prefer all cables being the same brand. My brand is Acoustic Zen though.

I think it is dependable on the situation and total sum of all cables and gear used.
Some brands certainly have a cumulative effect on certain qualities when used as a complete loom and there are always cable brands that won't combine well with another specific brand.
But using only one brand in your system does not mean you will end up with all the desirable qualities you would like although you might have fallen in love with the cable brand, thus some mixing will be needed.
Besides that some brands that make very good signal cables are not very adapt at power cables and vice versa imo.
