Your advice on a good cable

It really doesn't matter what other people think of your purchases as long as you feel they are provided good sound and value. As Soix says above, cabling is very system dependent. Hook-up with a good local dealer or someone like the Cable Co. who will let you at home demo a number of different products. Some will probably work better than others and its possible that you might come across a specific line that works magic on your system. I recommend that whatever you pick, stay with the same manufacturer for both interconnects and speaker cables. There are some synergistic advantages.

Somewhat off topic, have you considered upgrading your CD player? The rest of your system could easily support a better front end than the Cambridge.

I have found Alphacore Goertz Sapphire silver cables
to be excellent interconnects, and not outrageously
expensive. I'm using a Nordost Silver Shadow as a
digital cable, which is also very nice.

I'm a big believer in the whole Analysis Plus line, which is also very reasonable. For budget ICs the TMC white and Yellow ICs offer enourmous value, but are quite stiff and don't work well if you have to move or swap components regularly.

Hi,
You should contact The Cable Company ( Mr. Robert Stein ) for his recommendation, borrow those cables recommended and the ones you want and try them out!
For YBA components, the YBA cables are also a good match! For the source, the Stealth PGS does good things too! I have the PGS and tried it on several systems and the sound is always very pleasing and with all types of music!
Rgds & enjoy!

I agree with Onhwy. Also found the Red Dawn and Harm Tech to be excellent (and indistinguishable) with a budget CDP.
Only when securing a far better front end (emc-1) did I notice how hollow the midrange is on both of these ICs, for example. So perhaps get one of these spectrally saddle-backed wires for now, looking to a better CDP down the line. Have fun.
