whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money


hi,
can you all please tell me if there are a really special sounding cable out there for realistic money, ie power cables 300/400gbp, signal cables 1m 400/500gbp and speaker cables for around 600/700gbp, i know its still alot of money but there must be a manufacturer out there thats not pulling our trousers down, or spending time and money on R&D to solve problems that do not need addressing ie over the top shielding or some other marketing nonsense, the company i am showing interest in are Anti cables ??????????

It looks like the OP is from Great Britain. The voltage there is 250 I believe, and has different wall outlets. So many of the smaller American companies would not have power cables suitable for this chap, but various RCA and digital cables would be fine, and of course the bigger manufacturers market appropriate power cables in Europe.

The first RCA cable design that blew me away was one employing solid wire conductors instead of the more common stranded wire. Small solid core conductors that are individually insulated prevent the signal from jumping from strand to copper strand, and the result is quite striking. Audioquest, Wireworld and Morrow Audio all employ this basic concept, albeit with different approaches.

For lower cost, Morrow is my favourite. Each solid copper conductor is silver plated, and then insulated. Their entry level RCA IC is the MA1, and it has 2 conductors. The higher you go up the line, the more conductors are employed. The M3 has 12 runs, and for me is the point that depth to sound stage is noticed. The MA 1 has no depth, just a 2D stage, but still images well.

The pricing has various discounts available, and is sold directly from their website. One needs to have the solid core insulated conductor design as a complete loom, or else the signal gets compromised, although the power cables don’t seem to affect things, at least in my experience. I at first did not have solid core speaker cables, and the improvements with only RCA cables was not as striking.

My first speaker cable of this design was the Audioquest Type 4. One doesn’t notice the compromised sound and think something’s missing. But replace the cables and the difference is not subtle. But don’t try this with 30 or 40 year old vintage equipment, or the typical AVR either.
Go studio way and get the Gotham 2 x 6mm speaker cables. After trying many cables this is the quietest, cleanest and most unvoiced speaker cable I could find. It does not have its own sound that I could detect.

I had some PWB Electronics speaker cables along with TG Audio speaker cables for my bi wired Fultons. The PWB cables are very good and quite exotic but affordable. Dunno if they still sell cables but they might.
