Biggest Baddest Audio Cables

I have recently re-cabled my system w/ Tellurium Q Ultra Black speaker cables, and Black balanced interconnects. I upgraded from some XLO speaker cables, and BetterCables Silver Serpent balanced interconnects. No comparison, the Tellurium's were far superior. In fact, I've compared the Tellurium's vs Cardas Clear, and I liked the Tellurium Q's better, better bass, mids, and smoother (though still very detailed) highs. Well worth a listen. BTW, the rest of my system is Ayre DX-5, K-5xeMP, VX-5e and Wilson Sophia 3's.

For me it's jorma origo speaker cables. They are last cable for me. Gone through top end cables from jps labs, kimber cable but the jorma just captures the soul of the music the other cables cannot duplicate, excellent they are. Expensive but worth every cent for similarly high end systems.

Vmhf, forgive me, but I doubt if you will have them more than two years. I have previously said what you have only to have myself proven wrong. I must have heard the Jorma cables even at this years CES, but personally I doubt if I would be very impressed as they are not long crystal silver and have a charged shield to deal with rfi and emi, like my Exemplar Portal Silvers. I will never say they are the last cables I will have, however.

I'm not a fan of pure silver cables as they tend to sound bright, and less so of active cables which are a just a gimick imho. You sound like you are not familiar with Jorma cables Tbg and Jorma's sophisticated shielding. I'm not sure why you're making an uninformed statement like..

? I actually know Vmhf and am familiar with his audio journey. Origo are the most organic, transparent and tonaly neutral of cables, yet have a musical soul as Vmhf said. At their price and performance level, imho you would have to spending silly money on your rig to justify higher end cables. Think Magico Q5, Marten Coltrane 2 etc. I recommend reading Robert Levi's PF review of Origo where he compared Origo to his reference KS Elation cables if you want to read up on them.

Melbguy1, You are certainly right that I don't really know Jorma cables, nor do you know Exemplar Portal Silver cables. Your statement about silver cables reveals limited exposure to quality silver cables.

In saying what I did about how long you might prefer the Jormas, I am merely talking about my experience. I will not participate in "mine is bigger than yours" arguments any longer. Frankly, I will not go out of my way to get a listen to the Jormas anymore than you will to listen to the Exemplars.
