Bo1972,

What Audioquest speaker cables do you recommend for my system.

In the US there are brand we don't have overhere. I am only familiar with your cd player. Difficult to say. Depends about the properties of the stuff you own.

And what you would like to change compared to the sound you have now?

I tested your cd player. it is a 2 dimensional player. It did not build depth at all. I sold this one. To be honest I would not do it again. I saw it as a big mistake in 2008 that I started to sell NAD again.

I do not know the properties of your speaker and amp.

My current system is 3 dimensional. Recently I had a home audition of Cardas Clear Light and Shunyata Cobra Z-TRON speaker cables. The Cardas was too dark in my system, with no life. The Shunyata is open, detailed, very three dimensional, with outstanding separation, and front to back placement. My only concern with the Shunyata is the image is too big. I would like a cable with the sonic characteristics of the Shunyata with normal image size. Since you are such a Audioquest fan, I was wondering what cable you would recommend from them?

I should add that my CD player serves as a transport. It's feed via a digital cable through the Peachtree DAC.

Yessss Shunyata is giving a much too big image in general. At a show they played a number I know well. The voice was over 3 metres big. At those moments I thick.....go F.... yourself. And yesss again it was with Shunyata. This has nothing to do with a realistic image. Only people who do not know a lot of recordings are able to buy it.

Audioquest has it all. It is very dynamic, very fast, blacks are one of the best there is. And instruments and voices are intimate just like in real. This is how I want them. The extra resolution and stunning blacks make them become physical.

The better silver cables from Audioquest even make the stage wider and deeper. More decay. Also instruments and voices become even more physical as in real. The best interconnects Audioquest makes even give you the difference in Heights in a record.

When you compare a MIT cable of the same price you are amazed of how much lower the endresults are. A lot less decay and resolution. You go back to copper. It is a lot less physical and intimate as well. Difference in Heights are much too difficult for a MIT to bring to you.

It depends about how much you want to spend....

* I would not use the NAD anymore to be honest. I would get ride of it directly. I see it as a weaker point compared to the rest. Even if you only use it as a transport.
