Is anyone using Signal Cable interconnects/cables?


How do these sound compared to Synergistic Research Alpha series, Siltech Paris series, Nordost Blue Heaven, etc. I have a hybrid preamp and solid state amp.

What about their speaker cables?

I was satisfied enough after using Signal Cable interconnects and speaker cables that I did not bother to look any further. In my various systems, I had previously used Radio Shack Gold Interconnects; IXOS Gamma interconnects and speaker cables; Better Cables interconnects; and AV Cable speaker cables. I felt that the Better Cables and IXOS SILVER Gamma interconnects were really good and were comparable to the Signal Cable interconnects ... but the prices on the Signal are just better.

Cables are also very system dependent and I am still not sure how certain measurements (like DC resistance) fit in, because they do seem to vary amongst the different manufacturers. What may help the discussion is for you to tell us what components you will be using with the cables.

I have. I found that Signal Cable is an interim step in the cable hierarchy. Certainly better than Monster and everything below it. Probably the best value in the Signal line is the Power Cord. I have also used the digital cable. I used the PC as a subwoofer cable with great success. Initially, I used it on my B&K receiver but when I jumped to a higher end PC ( Synergistic Research Master AC active @ 6 times the cost), I noticed how compressed the sound was with the Signal Cable, so on the sub it went. The digital cable replaced a Vampire Wire cable and provided more detail. It was replaced with a Synergistic Research Reference Corridor and ultimately with BEL-the Wire (which I now use for all interconnects). As good as Signal Cable is for the price and Frank is an outstanding guy to deal with (he's very honest about the sound of his cables and whether they will provide the sound you're looking for), you just have to do your own comparisons. Rich is correct about cables being system dependent. That's why we have thousands to choose from. Cables, as much as anything, have a land of diminishing returns (when is a $500.00 cable just another tweak?) I've found that $200.00 BEL-the Wire I/C's sound better than the $600.00 Synergistic Research I was using with my system. However, I still use SR speaker cables because they match my Tannoys better(richer, fuller sound). If it's about money, give the Signal Cables a try, they're still comparable or a step up from much of what's on the market.
Every cable in my system was done by Signal Cable. I purchased many of my cables prior to Frank founding Signal Cable. Frank is very knowledgable and takes pride in the fact he can provide excellent quality products at affordable prices. I can wholeheartedly recommend Signal Cables if you want audiophile quality that does not break the bank.
