Cable confusion and questions.


First let me say that I have gone back and read a lot of the cable threads and am now more confused than ever.There are so many cable recommendations and types that most of it doesn't make sense.I have gone on the various websites mentioned here with a number of brands and have narrowed down what I need but would like a little more info and suggestions.I have looked at the blue jeans cable(belden or canare),morrow cable(sp2),clear day,kimber(8tc),signal cable,goertz alpha core,mit(avt3)and monster cable.Can someone explain in English any differnces in these cable and suggest something for my system I am getting. which is an Integra 9.9 receiver and Paradigm studio speakers.Thanks for any help.

Timrhu hits the nail on the head! PNF Audio does that for me. There are other good ones out there that don't cost an arm & a leg as well. I've tried LOTS of them but PNF has been the best, long term value for me. That doesn't mean Kimber or AQ or Morrow might not be the right thing for you. Trouble with cables is that they are a VERY expensive proposition to try one at a time.

One suggestion I would make in buyng cables, think of them like another component and buy everything from one manufacturer if you can. Usually, they were designed together and will usually work together. PNF ICON and Symphony are a good case in point. they are really a synergistic match for each other.

It is maddening trying to find that right cable mix, took me years to settle on PNF. So as Timrhu says, buy a good cable that makes you happy, realx and enjoy your music!
