Best copper interconnect cables

The true story of copper is that it is universally utilized as an electrical conductor. Why? Because it's readily available, inexpensive, easy to manufacture and it conducts electricity very readily. The electricity coming out of you wall plug was conducted there most likely by Romex 12ga. solid core copper electrical wire. Why we suddenly need to spend hundreds of dollars on a powercord to get the electricity from the wall socket to the audio equipment is a bit beyond me. As for your interconnects, their only job is to carry a low level audio signal from point A to point B without screwing it up. You'd think that would be something that could be accomplished easily and cheaply, wouldn't you??

Good Luck

For what its worth, here's my opinion. I have tried AudioQuest, Acoustic Research, Tara Labs RSCs, Kimber PBJs, Kimber Silver Streaks, Silver Audio Hyacinths and Silver Bullet 6.0s and have found that none come even close to Analysis Plus Copper Oval interconnects. The Analysis Plus cables are superior to all the others in clarity, extension, dynamic slam and overall purity of sound. Go to the Analysis Plus website to read their technical description of the cables and give them a try. Inserting the Copper Ovals has completely stopped me on the cable 'upgrade path." And, they're reasonably priced. I also highly recommend their power cords. I suggest that you give them a try. Good luck in your search.

One more to add to the list: Cardas Neutral Reference. My other two favorite copper cables are AU24 and Luminous Synchestra Signatures, already mentioned. All of these sound very similar to each other in the mid-band. The Cardas is a little warmer in the midbass than the other two. The Luminous has the best soundstage. Depending on the rest of your system, the AU24 and Luminous may sound slightly rolled off in the extreme highs, but in a lot of SS systems this can be a good thing.

Sigh. Another Best Q.

If you like copper (like me), and like Au24 skinny wire ONO cast copper (like me), but dislike the new retail pricing of same, and want to save some money...

Chimera.

Yup, Chimera for me too and I've tried plenty...
