'Jaw-dropping' is asking a lot of any improvement, as others have said. However, I have found that all the cables can tune a system to a really valuable degree. I used some home-made copper cables for a while that were virtually identical to Wireworld Polaris (old polaris). I also had QEC Silver 12 (which is actually copper) that was very, very slightly better than Nordost Purple Flars.. or perhaps a tiny bit better. However I purchased some Analysis Plus Oval 8 and they are wonderful; very easy-sounding and balanced top to bottom. Definitely in your price range used.
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
I am curious what speaker cables made a big "jaw dropping difference" in the sound quality of your current speakers. What most impressed you about the difference; that is, overall musicality, tighter, deeper bass, midrange clarity and soundstage depth, etc.etc.
Keep the price of the speaker cables chosen or auditioned at between $800- $1000 or from $1000-$1500. Was the cable bought new or used??
Thank you, SJ

To Maurice: Can you describe what you like about the Clear Day Double Shotgun speaker cable. In your opinion what improvement in sound quality did it offer and were distinctly audible. I auditioned Clear Day Single Shotgun and thought it very good, but a tad on the bright side. At the time I was using Acoustic Zen Hologram II speaker cable. which retailed for $1500 for a an 8 foot pair. My speakers at the time were the AZ Adagios. Overall I thought the AZ cable was smoother. I ask Paul at Clear day if he had a 6 ft pair of Double Shotgun, but he did not have them available the 2 times I asked him He is good guy and easy to work with. Thanks again to all who responded. The response has been very good and informative. SJ |
Don't waste your money...check out http://www.laventure.net/tourist/cables.htm they have a very good article on speaker wires and connections. Thoughts and opinions on the matter. I use .9999 "pure" silver made my own speaker wires, and interconnects once again all silver. They have blown away every name brand and that is no b.s. I understand that some or most can not make their own, the above mentioned website also sells them complete. Still cheaper than highly over priced name brands. It is worth a read....that is free...the result could be priceless. |
