Andy, I SAY STAY AWAY FROM THE ALPHA CORE GOERTZ STUFF. I've tried some of their best, and it's distorted. The low impedance design is flawed for sure! I've tried a ton of expensive cables. I use a Krell amp and Resolution Audio CD player. MY FAVORITE CABLES: MIT 330 Shotgun interconnect (you can get it used for like $350/meter RCA), with AudioTruth Dragon speaker cable. KIMBER 8TC SPEAKER CABLE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT FOR THE PRICE ALSO. The 330 interconnect has beaten Transparent Reference, MIT 350 CVT Reference (both of which cost over $2000!!!), Harm Tech Pro Silway, Cardas Neutral Reference, AudioTruth Lapis and Diamond, and Kimber Silver Streak interconnects in my system. THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS TRY TO DEMO DIFFERENT CABLES. AND BARRING THAT, BUY USED, THEN SELL WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE. I've saved well over $8000 doing it (my amp, CD player, cables, and speakers).
interconnect and speaker cable advice
Folks, here's my deal. I have the sunfire stereo amp and classic preamp and dunlavy scIII's. My budget won't yet allow me for the best cable set up but im loooking for advice as to what connectors and speaker cable I can get away for on the ecomomic side until I can upgrade. Any advice on my immediate and long term solutions? Peace, Andy.
