Cable recommendation between Dac and Integrated amp

markwatkiss
The higher the price the bigger the profit margins.When you spend more on cabling than components it’s time to re evaluate priorities.Not pointing fingers,just sayin.Mark Tunis,Bradenton Florida,handcrafted by a gifted artisan who understands the science of energy transfer.Have purchased both his Silver Ghost pc and interconnects.Couldn’t be more satisfied.Believe what your ears say not hearsay.

>>>>>>It’s not necessary true that the higher the price the bigger the profit margins. Example: one company might sell 100 cables at $1000 per cable. That’s a gross income of $100,000, right? Let’s say the cables cost the company $200 each to manufacturer. Now, it’s true he makes a profit of $800 per cable but he won’t sell as many cables as another company with lower prices.That means his profit for 100 cables is $80,000, right? But another company sells 5,000 cables at $100 per cable. He sells more cables because more people can afford them. That’s a gross income of $500,000, right. Let’s say each one of those cables cost $25 to manufacture. That means his profit is $75 X 5,000 = $375,000. Hel-loo!

Save some money, I highly recommend you look into cables by Audio Sensibility. They source the same great occ cooper/silver used by the top cables companies like Audience.  I’ve bought several cables them, all great value. 

The truth is, of course, that many of these cables can be manufactured (i.e. bought from China) for a few dollars at most. The high margin strategy is to make big profits with a small operation.

Yes and no.  OFC is easy to source but it’s my understanding that OCC cooper and silver can only be sourced from a few licensed companies in Japan.

Of the two you mention (Audience Au24 SE and Acoustic Zen Ultimate copper), while I could be mistaken, isn't the Acoustic Zen Ultimate copper the balanced option of the two? Point is, I think whatever you decide, you want balanced and not SE.
