Looking for warmth,openess, detail

if you're going to replace your speakers, why not wait - cables are synergistic with amps and speakers?

Audio Magic has gotten the job done for me. I now have the
Sorceror cable throughout including bi-wire speaker cables
and power cords. The system is so holographic that there
is absolutely no need for multi-channel. This line of cable
is probably one of the best kept secrets in the industry.

I can't speak for your pre or pro but I have a Rega Planet 2000 with Thiel 1.5s, Sound Anchor stands, and MIT cabling and I have all the warmth (MIT), openess (Sound Anchors), and detail (Thiels) I can afford. :-)

I think that everyone agrees that there are major differences in the way that speakers sound. I also think that everyone will never agree that there are major differences in the way that cables sound.

Now if your system is too bright, etc. (and my experience with Mirage speakers is that they tend toward brightness) and you are thinking about replacing the speakers, why fuss around with cables. This is akin to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

I think that the warmest, etc. sounding cables for you will be the ones attached to a new set of warm, etc. sounding speakers.

Just a minor correction, Jadem6. Although the Valhallas are primarily copper conductors, they are coated with a thin layer of silver. According to Nordost, "Each conductor is made from optimized diameter solid 99.999999 Oxygen Free Copper that has 78 microns of extruded silver on the surface. The surface of each conductor is [then] highly polished." Their philosophy is to combine the best attributes of both copper and silver. Yes, Valhallas are VERY pricey, but from what I have been told Nordost has less of a profit margin on these than any other cable in their product line. And they are wonderful WONDERFUL cables! Happy Tunes!
