| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? I just put my belden 5t00up 10awg back in my system after toying with some 13awg starquad for a few weeks, and wow wow, the sound is more dynamic, open, clear, just as if a little more amp power and control capability just got unleashed.Wire lengt... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? willemj said:" Ordinary basic cable is good enough. The rest is a rip off."It is not "good enough" for everybody.How many cables have you listened to? I bet my cables that willemj listens to the radio with speakers. | |
| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD Stick to cannabis and stay away from pills and white powder! I am all for it, but I am not sure that cannabis is effective in the case of Tom Petty or Prince. The reason why I doubt is that these guys can have the very best pot whenever they w... | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? 25ft, as good as the very best costing $100 a foot and more!Not bad at all for the money, and made in US. | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? Beside the excellent low-cost heavy 10-12awg proposed by Van Damme, Belden, Monoprice, Douglas,etc... I would say Canare 4s8 is a best buy. It is 13awg, so a little more resistive, but it seems, it feels like it makes my LS50s sound a bit smoothe... | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? True.. you would have to step up to the series-1 for longer runs, which is significantly more expensive and thicker. | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? bjc belden series-FE HDMI cables are premium certified. A bargain. | |
| Van Damme and Chord Odyssey Yes - especially if your woofers show deeps down to 3-4 ohms in their impedance curves, because in this case, the resistance of the cable would become proportionally more important, and therefore no longer indiscernable. | |
| Van Damme and Chord Odyssey Looks like chord odyssey is a silver-plated 3.3mm2 copper.Not sure it does match the van damme 4mm2 low resistance, even with the silver...I would stick with the van damme, they are so much cheaper, and their clients list kind of says it all on so... | |
| Shopping for Interconnects On the list should be:Canare lv-61s (detailed and punchy to my ears)Canare LV-77s or BJC LC-1 (fuller, more laid-back)The Belden 89289 used to be on audiophiles' top list also.Ordering from Bluejeancables guarantees the best connectors (Canare), s... | |
| speaker cables with a warm sound And 15 years ago, the OP picked the canare 4s11, because it is 11awg, it has a warm "sound", and it clearly was the better choice because it was less than a dollar a foot! OP wasn't fooled. | |
| Audio cables ,and power cords the most forgotton- part of an Audio system. " If the electrons traveled 2,000 miles the first thing your amp sees is what comes out of IT'S power cord .About like saying no sense in using a recipe because the veggies came from California .Basic physics ."Finally a persuasive analogy.The Ve... | |
| Audio cables ,and power cords the most forgotton- part of an Audio system. I guess audio stores know better than Marantz when it comes to power cords and sound. That makes a lot of $$$ sense.Or maybe Marantz insists on using the stock power cord so that their electronics sound their worse.Ah! no no. I know, they are us... | |
| Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers? " Speaker cable Kimber 4VS or 8VS also enhance bass a bit.Curiously it is NOT the wire, it is the INSULATION given credit for the bass enhancement. per Kimber themselves."So the Kimber 4PR or 8PR must be just as good for less money. same insulation. | |
| Audio cables ,and power cords the most forgotton- part of an Audio system. Why does Marantz advise to NOT use another power cord than the one provided? |
