Cardas Neutral Ref Speaker Cable Upgraders

Asmith- Depends on your budget. I am currently running Cardas Golden Reference and ordered new interconnects last week and new speaker cables are on the horizon :) I decided going with Jena Labs symphony interconnects and twin 15 speaker cables. They are the most reasonibly priced cables that offer truly great performance-if something doesn't sound right in your system it is not the cables it is something else. They sound like music, others to consider are Tara-the one, and the zero; Trasnparent Opus, Nordost Valhalla(sounds VERY similar to jena). I would start with interconnects first and then maybe try speaker cables, from my experience your speaker cables are pretty good and the interconnects seem to be the weaker of two. It would help also if we knew what you are running for gear, if you are running a SET amp and horn drivers then my advice will be worthless :) if not www.jenalabs.com

Goertz Alpha-Core - 30 day free trial direct from Alpha-Core. Best I've heard in my system, I'm running the MI2's.

Ahhh, Asmith, at one point I had Neutral Ref throughout, enjoyed them, good presence, PRaT, and they do sound good with certain setups. I also had Kimber Select throughout (1020 and 3035), as well as Golden Ref. I eventually found the Neutral Ref rolled off at the extreme's, and just wanted more inner detail that I knew my system could deliver; that is what led me to auditioning various wires for extended periods of time.

I found all that you seek; every point your asking for, for just the same reasons and needs as yourself, with Tg Audio wires. It is a huge upgrade for me, less "nervousa", more music; more detail, better seperation, much blacker background....... dynamic, and neuanced,.... Inner detail galore, much more palpable. More present, but not forward (unless your componentry sounds forward). "You're there" on a decent recording, and "they are here" on the worst. I was prepared to spend a bundle if neccessary, but the Tg Audio wires just smoked everything I had through here. Bob break's them in, so you don't have to do the 1-4 month rollercoaster of pain and nervousa that most wires seem to impose, and that I had to endure. I honestly haven't been listening to my setup anymore; I have been listening to A LOT of music. And buying more music as a result!

Now, I didn't hear the Jena Labs, or Siltech. I bet these are viable options as well. HEll my amps are wired with Jena. But as far as wires go, especially speaker cables, Tg Audio does it for me.
